Review of RK/RKAY

RK/RKAY (2021)
6/10
You exist. But you don't really exist.
9 December 2022
This meta comedy involving RK (Rajat Kapoor) an actor-writer-director in search of his first success is making a movie & while on the edit table, the hero of his movie Mahboob (Rajat Kapoor), within the movie goes missing. He makes the transition from reel world to real world. The situations that arise out of this leads to some hilarious, some profound scenes leading to the creator crisis.

Several scenes stood out during the interaction between RK & Mahboob. Real highlight are the scenes with Gulabo in the second half. Once you buy into this premise, Rajat Kapoor really delivers. A fictional character coming into the real world has always been a fascinating concept to me & the way the writer's complex is inserted here came out really well. For that third act to work, I wished there was bit more drama involving Mahboob's existence in the real world & his bonding with RK's family to get the desired impact. Even then, this is still a deserving watch.
