Raja Natwarlal is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language crime thriller film directed by Kunal Deshmukh and produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur under UTV Motion Pictures.

Raja (Emraan Hashmi) is a small-time conman who cons people for a living along with his partner in crime Raghav Desai (Deepak Tijori).

Feeling sorry for her, Raja decides he wants to go for a big catch so that he can marry his lady love and she won't have to work in a bar anymore.

Yogi trains him, and eventually, they form a team of crooks and set out to Cape Town to finish off Varda where he takes his revenge.

[9] Jacqueline Fernandez and Priyanka Chopra were approached to play the lead female role, but both actresses could not accommodate the dates.

[22] The Times of India gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "With its twisting story, good-looking frames and zingy acting, Raja Natwarlal keeps you entertained".

[25] Anupama Chopra from Hindustan Times gave a rating of 2.5 and wrote, "If you can get past the foolishness of the plot, director Kunal Deshmukh's film is mildly engaging".

[27] Kusumita Das from Deccan Chronicle gave 2.5 stars as well and wrote, "There's a gripping premise of a revenge plan, little bit of comedy, some interesting dialogues and convincing performances from the chief cast.

But in a bid to broaden the suspense and make the twists more unpredictable, the story gets entwined in all the yarns it manages to spin for over two hours".

[29] Rahul Desai from Mumbai Mirror wrote, "This film is far from perfect, but makes for an acceptable non-Italian version of The Indian Job-by entertaining solely within the confines of a revenge drama".

[31] Shubhra Gupta from Indian Express gave 1.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "A caper flick necessarily has to do a couple of things: it has to have some surprises, and it has to be fun.

[32] The Economic Times reported, "With its many twists, the film actually has enough potential to stay gripping, but fails woefully at it as it gets a hackneyed treatment".

There is no inventiveness in plot, treatment, and characterization—unlike the best con movies, not for a moment do any of the characters seem to be duping each other, and their wiles or avarice hold no surprises.
