राजा रानी

With lots of excitement I went to watch this movie in theatre(the day before its release in India!!). The expectation is may be due to so many reasons like Nayan's come back after boss, same set Nayan, Arya, Santhanam, attractive teasers on you tube, Good stardom in the movie. With all those weights I watched it and of course I should say I enjoyed it over all.

"Raja Rani" as for as the plot it is the same after marriage rehabilitation type recipe cooked with new ingredients. The teaser tells the story so nothing new (just like Mouna raagam or Silunu oru kadhal types) on that side but quite entertaining screenplay that will keep you engaged through out.

The movie can be watched with family since it has got good share of all elements sentiment, comedy, romance, suspense etc. All credits goes to the young debutant director "Atlee". Good work for a first movie.

Coming to the performances the lead roles Arya fits picture perfect and it is not a quite challenging role for him but did it well. Nayantara we could say it is a back with a bang after three years. She has done it well in terms of acting, chemistry with arya and Jai. But she has to definitely work on her physics (mean her size) since sometimes she seems to be aged for both lead men. Santhanam is not just the comedy spice here but has done a character role. Satyaraj has been seen in recent movies settling down in good character and support roles so as in this movie. Jai and Nazria Nazim plays the love interests of the leads in the flash back were good on their roles. The cliché is we see Jai's character is the same as his previous flick Engeyum Eppodhum. Nazria was short and cute. BGM in the title score was awesome. Music was OK. Cinematography was good. Costume design has to be mentioned so many times we think the leads are like modelling for brands. Particularly Arya who was a model turned actor. Get in for an entertaining Rom-Com of the year.

Though our FB status might say otherwise, most of our relationships today are complicated and according to Atlee the most complicated relationship of all time is Marriage. Hence, in his maiden venture, he has attempted to unwind the knot of all knots and to a great extent has succeeded too.

Raja Rani, a story based on the lives of four individuals and how the ripples they create end up canceling each other. What begins as a Catholic style marriage soon shifts to an apartment with the couples bickering at each other with the utmost fury like the lions and the Gladiators. But deep inside, both present a flashback with love as a common link. Who succeeds, Love or The lovers or the couples? You know what to do to know the answer.

Atlee, the débutante deserves appreciation for several reasons, for choosing a script free from heroism and Newton defying action sequences, for choosing a strong cast (Who would have imagined the Lungi clad villain of Naan Kadavul in a Reid & Taylor with a funny bone), for using these casts to deliver the message in almost every scene without making a fuzz about it.

Arya, Nayanthara, Jai, Nazriya have successfully brought life to the characters.The supporting cast including Santhanam, Sathyaraj, 'Naan Kadavul' Rajender have also done justice to their roles. Arya has retained his lover boy image with Santhanam as his side kick. Jai has ensured that we don't miss Santhanam in the first half. Nazriya's potential glimmers and with that enchanting look, she is definitely here to stay. Nayanthara's fasting with Tamil cinema is finally over and one hopes that she continues to entertain in the coming years. Santhanam has proved his mettle once again. Sathyaraj bring tears and at the same time helps us wipe it off.

The complications of any relationship can be easily dealt with once we realize that is complicated. 'Misunderstanding' can cause greater mayhem than what Katrina did to US. A clean mind and a willing heart is all it takes to make any relationship work. Though Atlee sprinkled many advice throughout, one refuses to leave my hearing apparatus and I've translated it to my best, "No couple are born in this world as 'made for each other'. It's how you live that makes it meaningful"

Raja Rani--- Telltale Poetry

Must watch for all Newlyweds and those awaiting.

AR Muruhadoss production, Atlee's direction,GV Prakash Kumar's music wow everything is simply superb. Arya,Jai,Nayantara,Nazriya each and everyone scores full on their performance.. After a long time a movie for all genres not just college students,also for families.. There is Love after Love A life after love nice message well executed...

Sathyaraj as Nayantara's father was is a modern and darling Papa who fulfills all her daughter's wishes, while Santhanam a "Nanbaenda" of Arya this time not just makes funny one liners but also says touching dialogs.. "Nan Kadavul"Rajendran,Sathyan etc., also did their job well..

George. C. Williams's Cinematography is a perfect blend of class and romance in a colorful and emotional mood with perfect captures.. Anthony L. Ruben is not to be blamed..

There are very few drags but thats alright..

ATLEE has given a superb movie and it is gonna be one of the biggest hits of 2013 both critically as well as commercially...

GV prakash music songs are blossoming and background music is melting.. Only the beats used for the funny track is exactly lifted from "Polladhavan".. Oday Odey song is a peppy romantic dance roller coaster while "Imaye Imaye" is a sad climax song with emotions...

Arya is just Awesome, his dialog delivery and actions are impressive.. Jai is amazing and funny dialogs were ROFL in this movie

Nazriya was very active in acting and bubbly too.. Nayantara after a long time did an excellent performance ESP in the scene where she cries.. excellent..

overall RAJARANI is a lovely movie that stands unique in presentation, though not a great or a new journer it is surely set to leave the cinema hall with a smile and some thoughts...

RAJA RANI- LETS MAKE WAY FOR THE KING AND QUEEN

Excellent one from Director. Useful to youth who suicide after love failure. Good sentimental movie. Family Entertainer . All the Actors did their part well int the movie.

The first half is about the love story of the Heroine and the second half is about the love story of hero. Director maintained good suspense all over movie without feeling bore.

Cast - Arya,Jai,Nayanathra,Nazriya Nazim, Santhanam,Sathyaraj,Rajendran and many more.

The story begins with John (Arya) and Regina (Nayanthara) getting married at a church. John and Regina have agreed to get married just to make their parents happy. When they take their wedding vows Regina utters her lover's name 'Surya.' Upon hearing this,Regina's father faints in the church. Regina feels sorry for her father and ends up marrying John. They live in a flat and John comes home every night drunk deliberately to disturb Regina. Their neighbors are also annoyed by this attitude of John and chides Regina one morning when this nuisance gets worse. They also try to irritate each other in every possible way. Eventually, Regina applies for transfer to stay away from John and he is not affected by this decision.

The movie was well shot and beautifully presented... this flick is more like a real life coz there's no evil villain who drives other people crazy with his psychologically disordered behavior...! Surprisingly the choreography and soundtracks were great.... but the BGM sux (same ra... ra...) I think screenplay is the backbone of this film... Atlee has done a fabulous work which turned an ordinary story into watchable film!!! All the characters done a fair job to do not disappoint their director's expectations...! The trailers have been released so far are nothing to do with this film's storyline... coz that's what they wanted, they wanted to confuse us and do not get the story visual. well... they succeeded with me. the hype for this film was worth!!!
