Story of The Film :
Raghu Romeo (Vijay Raaz) is a guileless man, who hails from a lower-middle-class family. He is a 30-year-old waiter henpecked by his mother and by the boss who seldom pays him. In his naivete, Raghu thinks he must protect the virtue of that joint’s floozies from grabby clients, especially Sweety (Sadiya Siddiqui), a hitman’s honey whose cynical surface masks a soft spot for the clueless hero. But he only has eyes for Neeta, a quintessential TV-soap suffering-heroine played by not-so-nice Reshma (Maria Goretti). Unable to distinguish between reel and real life, Raghu kidnaps the terrified actress and takes her to the countryside house of Sweety. Turns out she is on the hit-list (for failing to pay off the entertainment industry’s mob “protectors”).

Raghu Romeo Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 6.9 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 631.
This is a very good comedy movie with a satire on the current trends of Sas- bahu serials in India which have crippled the thinking of many people in the country. All the actors are from theater, so you see some good acting. Vijay Raaz is as good as ever. Maria Goretti is gorgeous and Saddiya Siddiqui looks cute.
The dialogues are well written and they make you laugh.
In all, an honest movie with lot of creative effort form Rajat kapoor as a director.
Critics Rating by Sirasati Kishore, from Times Of India give 2.5 star out of 5 Star.
