Shahid Kapoor's infectious smile is back! His film ‘R...Rajkumar’ recorded a very good weekend and held fabulously all throughout the week. The film has performed wonderfully across the mass belts across India - having collected 53.60 crores (domestic) in the first week.

It has to be noted that ‘R...Rajkumar’ is Shahid’s first full on action role and the audiences seem to have accepted and loved the young star in this avatar. In fact Shahid is the only young star to try a mass film like this and garner audience acceptance.

Audiences in the single screens have been whistling and cheering Shahid's performance and dance moves. The young star has surely won a new fan base as his audience was till now largely coming from multiplexes.

Incidentally even musically this year has been a blockbuster for Shahid. All his songs, "Tu Mere Agal Bagal Hai", "Gandi Baat" and "Saree Ke Fall", have become mass anthems thanks to the onscreen energy and dance that he brought to them.

Shahid's talent and potential was never in doubt and now with a box office backing him he is truly a star to watch out for. Having done an out and out masala film like ‘R.. Rajkumar’ Shahid now moves onto Vishal Bharadwaj's ‘Haider’ which is a gritty drama set in Kashmir.
