Amber Galloway (lidahaut) I've only heard of this film 8 months ago, but that didn't stop me from watching it on the internet. After getting to watch it all the way, I think that it's decent for a Hindi animated film distributed by Disney, even if I can't understand half of what they're saying.I understand that it's intended to be a comedy film, but some of it was either confusing because of the Hindi dialogue, or wasn't funny at all. The songs, because it's also a musical, and in contrast to the comedy, are fantastic. The first and second songs on the soundtrack have been stuck in my head for a couple days now; The soundtrack is simply that fantastic.I would want to recommend the film, but somewhat terrible comedy, predictable story, and confusing dialogue makes such a decent film slightly not worth it to watch, but the great soundtrack makes for a great time with Romeo and his friends.
TheLittleSongbird Roadside Romeo does indeed start in a very captivating way. I liked the idea and the film does start very strongly with quite a stirring opening scene. But overall, it just didn't do it for me, just too bland and hackneyed. Granted, the animation is pretty good, not outstanding but the backgrounds and sceneries were at least striking. Also Javed Jaffrey is a lot of fun here. However, the writing is sadly awful on the whole, while the story is too hackneyed and predictable. Then there is the music, it was the same with the singing, it got too much and became distracting. Jaffrey aside, the remainder of the voice work is inconsistent, ranging from so-so to barely adequate. I'm sorry to say I didn't really feel anything for the characters, they were dull mostly or annoying. The pacing started off great, almost riveting, but when the story meandered just before the halfway mark the pace dragged until the final result was as limp as a bad hair day. In conclusion, started off promisingly but lost its momentum making it forgettable and altogether very unexceptional film. 4/10 Bethany Cox
tusharvyas15041987 In every sense one is glad Indian animation has come such a long way. It would be wrong to say that so far we have been doing an inferior job in comparison to our Hollywood counterparts. However the quality hasn't been at par. With Roadside Romeo, Indian animation films have taken a giant leap forward and kudos to Yash Raj Films and Walt Disney Studios for being the one to raise the bar up by many notches.Bottom line is the fact that Roadside Romeo is ultimately a movie that has stemmed from the land of masala films, so expecting anything different is sheer blasphemy. The film has lovers, a villain and great humor - the ultimate essentials for a Bollywood caper. But then being animated and convincing is what whisks this film away from clutches of the inane Bollywood film monster.Romeo (Saif Ali Khan) the quintessential lover dog is thrown onto the streets, where he meets newly found best mutts. Soon enough he bumps into the love of his life, Laila (Kareena) who happens to be a nightclub performer. Besides falling in love, the biggest mistake Romeo commits is having rubbed Charlie Anna (Javed Jaffrey) the wrong way. With a villain to combat and love to win over, the film is all Romeo and tons of heart.One can't stop gushing over the fact that Yash Raj Films and Disney have brought to India what can be called India's first world class animation film. It's not perfect, but nonetheless still great. Had the movie been made into a live Acton one, perhaps it would not have worked. Even story-wise the film is extremely light. But it is exactly these aspects that make Roadside Romeo lovable. The film is entertaining, funny and light. There is little that your mind needs to work on and it's escapism at its best.
prit30 Disney goes Bollywood! This is a light-hearted funny movie with top notch animation sequences. The script is fantastic.. ideas innovative. . music n sound effects are fluent.. altogether the film is very entertaining and enjoyable.I saw some people at theater stepping back as they realized this was a total Kid-Movie..scram..well what's wrong if you become a kid again for less than 2 hours in the darkness of the theater! Besides, it also reminds you of Godfather!Most of the dialogs and comedy are Bollywood-Type that one not so familiar with Hindi movies might not fully understand though. But dogs are universal after all! Go watch this little cute movie with your family.P.S. There is nothing satirical.
