Reception

Reception by critics of RX 100 was mixed . There was appreciation for the energy shown by actors in the romantic scenes, as well as credit given to the final spoiler for being a high-quality twist and one of the few interesting things in the film according to the Times of India.[6][4] However there were frequent statements that action scenes were too lengthy with unnecessary amounts of blood and violence for their purpose of creating a "rough romance".[4][6] Additionally there were comments that insufficient care is paid to the actual story with Times of India summarising as "RX 100 has sex, tears and a lot of blood, but the essence of the film is somewhere lost in between".[7]
