Starring : Arya , Jai , Nayanthara , Nazriya Nazim , Santhanam , Sathyaraj

Direction : Atlee Kumar

Music : GV Prakash

Producer : AR Mrugadoss and Fox Studios

Raja Rani is a beautiful romantic love flick. The movie revolves around the love stories of the couples, who decided to marry against their wishes. In Milana, the love between the couple grows with time but in the latest flick, it bursts out all of a sudden as the movie starts nearing its climax.

There are two love tracks in the movie. In fact it is three with John (Arya) and Regina (Nayantara) falling in love by the end of the movie. Raja Rani begins with the marriage of the lead stars. They wed against their will. Their chemistry doesn’t work in the beginning and the couple hate each other.

But the story takes a twist when Regina suffers a stroke and she reveals her past love story. In the second half, we are told about Arya’s love story. However, how the love blossoms between John and Regina? What are their past stories? What impact will Jai and Nazriya Nazim’s roles have on the story? Watch the movie to get answers for all these questions.

Coming to performances, and it is the girls who steal the show. Nayanthara does cast a spell with her emotional acts, while Nazriya is super bubbly and cute. Arya does look a bit statue at places, but he does keep in line with what was expected from him. Jai on the other hand, does shadow off a little bit into the overacting circle. Nevertheless, his performance is one which is most enjoyed by the audience. Santhanam does manage to crack you up from time to time but Sathyaraj is a surprise package. Kudos to Atlee for sketching out some really distinct characters and stitching them in beautifully.

Every shot in Raja Rani is a beauty. George C Williams has done a classy job with the camera, his color tones for the song sequences and the camera angles for the movie overall are a eye-catching spectacle. Editing and other aspects are well done too.

Music is another asset of Raja Rani,GV.Prakash’s songs do fit in well as they are aided by pretty good picturisations. His BGM, especially in the Jai-Nayan episode is a treat to the ears.

On the downside, Raja Rani does drag around a bit here and there. You might feel the inclusion of unwanted scenes from time to time, but that doesn’t bring the movie to a halt.

Atlee Kumar manages to come out with a decent show on his first shot. He succeeds in the emotional scenes more than anything else, while receiving good support from his artists.

Verdict : Raja Rani is a family Entertainer, Raja Rani will leave you with a good feeling, while showcasing the realistic truth about love.

He had thought the actress to mouth her humorous lines in the movie. Now, it appears like their bonding has gone to the next level as they are seeing each other.

Rumour mills say that Jai visits the sets of her forthcoming movie Naiyaandi and they spend a lot of time together at Nazriya Nazim's caravan. This seems to have not gone well with the crew.

Neram Movie Review

Cast : Nivin Pauly , Nazriya Nazim , Naasar

Music : Rajesh Murugesan

Director : Alphonse Putharen

Producer : Red Giant Movies , Winner Bulls

Youtube & Facebook seems to be the biggest Promoting tools right now. No one even heard the movie name before “Pistah” Song got released in Youtube. It went on viral and reached 6 Lakhs views within few days. It reached wider range of audience and most importantly, the song impressed Udhaynidhi Stalin and made him to distribute this movie. Now, the movie had got little expectation as it was released by Stalin, who tastes continuous success.

If you are wondering, why the leading actors are from Malayalam industry. Here goes the answer – this movie was a Bilingual one. Malyalam Version got released last week and receiving mixed to positive response. Hero Nivin Pauly had got good fan following in Malayalam after his Superb Hit Movie “Thattathin Marayathu”. Heroine Nazriya Nazim is another big reason for decent opening for this movie as many of the youngsters have started liking her even before seeing her first film (Power Star – Sila Perae Pakkamayae Pidikum). Let us see whether the Tamil Version will satisfy the Common Man in this Review.

Story: Posters had the tag “First Ever Tamil Cinema that had Nothing New”. They were absolutely correct. The story is as old as MGR’s period. But, the narration style is very fresh and will engage the audience. Hero who is jobless searches for ways to pay the debts borrowed from the Villain.

Nivin Pauly had acted in more than 10 Malayalam Movies. But, his movie “Thattain Marayathu” (2012) was one of the biggest hit in Malayalam Cinema. Hero role in this movie is similar to a common man and he had done a decent job.

Nazriya Nazim – She started her career in 2006 as Child Artist and acted as Heroine in 2012. This confirms that she is Minor (Hope this answers the Million Dollar Question from Youngsters). Many youngsters will come to theaters to see this beautiful girl on the big screen. She had acted well and looks cute in the first half. She doesn’t have much screen presence in the second half. But, you may not feel bored as the last 30 minutes will be a LAUGH RIOT. She will be pairing with Dhanush, Arya, Jai in future movies and definitely will win the hearts of Tamilians.

Simha – He had done cameo role in Pizza and notable role in Soodhu Kavvum (Nayanathara Fan). He plays the role of a Comedy Villain and have done exceedingly well. Definitely, he will get more offers in the future.

Thambi Ramaiah and John Vijay’s characters in the movie were excellent. Thambi Ramaiah had really rocked in this movie. John Vijay’s voice modulation was too good. Scenes between them are the major positives for this movie

There are lots of supporting actors and almost everyone have done a wonderful job.

Music by Debutant Rajesh Murugesan was awesome. Background Music is major plus for this movie. Most expected “Pistah” Song was placed perfectly – during the chasing scene and climax of the movie. Promotional Pistah Song comes during the END CREDITS and 90% of the audience left the theatre only after the song got over, which confirms that this song is the latest sensation in Tamil Nadu.

Cinematography by Anand Chandran was too good. He had experimented lot of things and it had come out really well.

Multiplexes have Subtitles by Rekhs on all days which is a great move. It will help people who doesn’t knew Tamil to watch good movies. Rekhs Subtitles were Short & Sweet asusual.

“I steal from every movie ever made” – Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino. Alphonse Putharen do feels the same and agrees to it before the title credits itself. He is not only the director, but also editor of this movie. Hence, he should be knowing which are the scenes needed for the movie than anyone else in the world. Movie runs for less than 2 hours. Scenes are interlinked brilliantly.

Movie doesn’t have a story as mentioned in the posters, but have a unique approach. Screenplay of the movie was good with lots of twists in the movie. But, very very slow scenes with lengthy dialogues for almost 90 minutes is huge drawback for this movie. Scenes after Nassar’s introduction and Climax scenes were BRILLIANT (last 30 minutes). Nassar adds huge value to the movie with his wonderful acting and excellent dialogues. Movie picks up speed only after his intro.
It is yet another movie for people who likes movies similar to NKPK, Soodhu Kavvum,etc.

Verdict : it is a movie with old story, but with great execution
