AR
Murugadoss'
third
home
production
Raja
Rani
has
been
released
with
a
lot
of
expectations
as
his
first
two
flicks
had
won
the
hearts
of
the
audience.
In
the
latest
movie,
Arya,
Nayantara,
Jai
and
Nazriya
Nazim
are
seen
in
the
key
roles.
The
movie
marks
the
debut
of
Atlee
Kumar,
a
former
associate
of
successful
director
Shankar.
In
his
debut
movie,
the
young
director
has
taken
inspiration
from
Blockbuster
Kannada
movie
Milana,
which
starred
Puneet
Rajkumar
and
Parvathi
Menon
in
the
lead
roles.
But
he
has
made
necessary
changes
to
make
it
to
look
like
an
original
piece
for
which
he
has
to
be
patted
on
back.
Raja
Rani
is
a
beautiful
romantic
love
story.
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
third
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.
Rating:

From
the

go,

Nayantara's

hooked
to
your
seat.

Atlee
Kumar's
Screenplay
Atlee
Kumar's
screenplay
is
good.
Though
the
director
looses
the
grip
at
some
parts,
audience
will
not
bother
as
the
story
has
something
to
offer.
Message
The
best
thing
Atlee
has
done
is
that
he
has
tried
to
convey
a
good
message
to
the
young
generation.
He
attempts
to
tell
that
there
is
a
life
after
a
love
failure.
Drawback
Raja
Rani
is
packed
with
emotional
moments,
romantic
scenes
and
comic
sequences.
The
only
drawback
of
the
story
is
that
in
a
bid
to
tell
two
love
stories,
the
director
doesn't
give
sufficient
time
to
blossom
the
main
love
story.
No
worries,
as
the
audience
won't
complain.
Lead
Stars
Make
Impact
The
underlining
part
of
the
story
is
that
all
four
-
Arya,
Nayantara,
Jai
and
Nazriya
Nazim
-
make
good
impact
in
the
movie.
Nobody
overshadows
each
other
and
the
director
has
to
be
appreciated
for
the
same.
Arya
Arya
has
done
good
job
and
he
is
impressive
as
a
lover
boy.
His
chemistry
with
Nayantara
works
again.
Nayantara
Nayantara
completely
justifies
her
role.
Jai
and
Nazriya
Nazim
have
played
their
parts
well.
Other
Cast
Santhanam
steals
the
show
whenever
he
appears
on
screen.
He
has
a
few
emotional
scenes
too.
Sathyaraj's
character
is
well
written
and
modern
day
girls
would
love
to
have
such
a
father.
Music
GV
Prakash
Kumar
has
composed
seven
tracks
for
Raja
Rani.
'A
love
for
life',
'Imaye
imaye',
'Angnyaade'
and
'Hey
baby'
have
become
hits.
Cinematography
George
C
Williams
is
brilliant
behind
the
camera.
His
work
will
be
visible
from
the
opening
scene.
Rest
other
departments
are
okay.
Verdict
Raja
Rani
is
a
must
watch
for
family
audience
and
youths.
No
doubt,
AR
Murugadoss
has
a
winner
in
hand.
