How these two gangsters are going to lock their horns forms the rest of the story. 

Review 

The movie has the regular gangster movie template which is the major setback of the film. Despite having powerful evil character for villain, he becomes extremely weak in the second half. Though the movie started quite well and the love story between the leads is showcased in beautiful way, some of the scenes felt over the top. Some of the scenes are realistic as well as relatable too. The movie is good at times and the action sequences are handled well. 

Director Tharun Sudhir only focused on the action sequences and failed to give equal importance to the entertainment factor. Despite having the scope for story, the audience can't stick to their chairs with the proceedings. Also, the entire second half became extremely predictable. Music is just average. Keeping the songs aside, the background score is impressive. Grand visuals by the cinematographer also create a good impact on the audience. Production values are superb.  

Darshan is undoubtedly the only positive element of this film. Amid the boring and predictable story, slow narration Darshan made the audience stick to the chairs with his performance. Asha Bhat got an interesting role in this film and she did a convincing job. Jagapathi Babu is too good in his role and showcased his versatility as an actor. Ravi Kishan and Devaraj are also good in their roles. 

Verdict

'Roberrt' is a regular gangster drama with a slow-paced narrative, a boring screenplay which lacks entertainment.
