Madhura Raja

Vyshakh's follow-up to the massively entertaining potboiler Pokkiri Raja (2010) almost made me sit up on my chair. The fantastic continuity apart, it has some signature comical sequences that are bound to wrap you in humor even as you are bothered by the ridiculously outrageous plot turns that this ultra-fast-paced action comedy drama makes to stay relevant in the eyes of its viewer. The plot moves so fast you won't have time to use your brain to make sense of the turn of events, which is a good thing for Vyshakh and his team who have ignited their imaginative power further with Madhura Raja (King of Madhura), a template film that is high on style, Mammootty's glamour, and pop culture. Unfortunately, it's a bit low on other departments like story and character development. If those are things that hardly matter to you when you are fed with constantly amusing comedy, Madhura Raja's first half will be a popcorn-worthy treat. The second half is a letdown so there is an option to walk out if you value your time. TN.

I'm not a big fan of Pokkiriraja. I didn't like anything about it except a few comedy scenes. So I only had minimum expectations for Madhuraraja. But Vyshak surprised me. The movie was not so bad. It is a perfect entertainer for everyone. Mammootty did an excellent job as Raja. We can see how good he is in an emotional scene where he says his troubled english without making us laugh. Salim Kumar has some good comedy numbers and some really bad ones. The visuals and songs disappointed. The action sequences were so good. Peter Hein did a good job and he deserves an applause for making a 67 year old actor do good stunts. Mammootty also deserves applause for trying his best in stunt scenes. Madhuraraja is a perfect entertainer and is recommended for mass masala movie lovers and those who liked Pokkiriraja and Pulimurugan.

Old wine in old bottle..pokkiriraja is better than madhura raja...diehard fans like it because they are eagerly waiting for a 100 cr movie from mammookka...The costumes of mammookka is superb..otherwise it is an old vijayakanth style movie

It's a mass entertainer staring mega star Mammootty as the title role. 1st half is entertaining and it is very good ,and in second half shows some political scenes feel some booring but the climax and the related scenes were so awesome.

The first half of madhura raja is very entertaining which was filled with comedy, romance,action and pop cultural references. But the average second half makes it only a one time watch for general audience. Pokkiri raja was filled with loads of comedy and action. Looking at trailers, I thought madhura raja will be action packed. But this one has action only at interval and climax. Second half becomes serious which is not good. I didn't like the cinematography. Also it is evident that vysakh was still in puli murugan hangover as madhura raja climax was similar to puli murugan. In puli murugan, villain is killed by tiger and hero kills that tiger and in madhura raja villain is killed by dogs and hero puts fire in the villains den. Missed idivettu sugunan and surya. Mammooty carried the film on his shoulders and was very entertaining.
