AR
Murugadoss’S third home production Raja Rani has been released to high
expectations, as his first two flilms won audience’s hearts.
Arya,
Nayantara, Jai and Nazriya Nazim appear in the key roles.
The
movie marks the debut of Atlee Kumar, a former associate of successful director
Shankar.
The
young director has taken his inspiration from Kannada blockbuster Milana, + which
starred Puneet Rajkumar and Parvathi Menon.
But
he has made necessary changes to make it to look like an original piece – for
which he should be patted on the back.
Raja
Rani is a beautiful, romantic love story. The movie revolves around the love
stories of couples who have got married against their wishes.
In
Milana, the love between the couple grows with time, but in the latest flick, it
flares all of a sudden as the movie starts nearing its climax.
Raja
Rani begins with the marriage of the lead stars.
They
wed against their will. There is no chemistry in the beginning and the couple
hate each other.
But
the story takes a twist when Regina has a stroke and she reveals her past love
story.
In
the second half, we are told Arya’s love story.
However,
how will the love blossom between John and Regina? What are their past stories?
What
impact will Jai and Nazim’s roles have on the story? Watch the movie to get the
answers.
From
the first moment, Raja Rani holds the attention.
Arya
and Nayantara’s arguments, their hate and their love keep one glued to the seat.
The
best thing Kumar has done is that he has tried to convey a good message to the
young generation. He attempts to tell us that there is life after a heartbreak.
Raja
Rani is packed with emotional moments, romantic scenes and comic sequences.
The
only drawback is that in trying to tell two love stories, the director doesn’t
give sufficient time to developing the main love story. No worries, as the
audience won’t complain.
Arya,
Nayantara, Jai and Nazriya Nazim all make a good impression.
None
overshadows the other and the director has to be appreciated for this.
Arya
is impressive as a lover boy.
His
chemistry with Nayantara works again. Nayantara completely justifies being cast
in the role.
Jai
and Nazriya Nazim have played their parts well.
Santhanam
steals the show whenever he appears on screen. He also has a few emotional
scenes.
Sathyaraj’s
character is well written – modern-day girls would love to have such a father.
On
the music front, GV Prakash Kumar has composed seven tracks for Raja Rani. A
Love for Life, Imaye Imaye, Angnyaade and Hey Baby have become hits.
Cinematographer
George C Williams is brilliant behind the camera.
Verdict:
Raja Rani is a must-watch for a family audience and young people.
AR
Murugadoss has a winner in hand.
