Dongri ka Raja featuring Ronit Roy, Sunny Leone, Ashmit Patel and Gashmeer Mahajani is a film based on love story of an underworld Raja who is the ruler of Dongri. The Story is set against the backdrop of the Dongri underworld and weaves a gripping tale with a twist. Dongri Ka Raja is directed by Hadi Ali Abrar and is the debut production of Filmy Keeda Productions Pvt Ltd. The movie also introduces the new comers Gashmeer Mahajani and Reecha Sinha. Everything that happens in the movie is so that our two love birds Raja and Shruti may meet. However, the romance part lacks enough punch to make you feel for the characters. You may wish to watch this one if you are a Ronit Roy or Gashmeer Mahajani fan and choose action any day over a drama genre movie. For us, this underworld movie is a sure shot miss!

A lot of intriguing stories have come out of Dongri: from Haji Mastan’s to Dawood Ibrahim’s. The story of this movie, however, does not fall under that category. It is not so much the predictability of the story, but the laziness in storytelling that gets to you. The corrupt cop unleashes terror, the straitlaced one is helpless, the mother watches in silence and the don does the Sarkar hand gesture every once in a while. A devotional song plays when someone’s hospitalized, and the bulb outside the Operation Theatre lights up; the hero celebrates his kills with a Sunny Leone item song as heroes do. Every character seems to be a dialogue writer and you end up confused as to whether you're in a movie or a mushaira. To give it a little credit, the movie has a surprising feministic subtext in the love story but it gets diluted quickly. And all you’re left with are dozens and dozens of cat-and-mouse chases. Best case scenario: you get a decent Ronit Roy performance. Don’t kill yourself over this.
