Directed
by
debutante
Vyshakh,
the
movie
Pokkiri
Raja
brings
together
Mammootty
and
Prithviraj
for
the
first
time
on
screen.
It
also
marks
the
debut
of
actress
Shreya
Saran
in
Malayalam
industry.
Pokkiri
Raja
in
one
word
can
be
categorized
as
a
mass
masala
entertainer.
The
movie
begins
with
a
flash
back
story
of
two
brothers
Raja
(
Mammootty
)
and
Surya
(
Prithviraj
).
Raja
and
Surya
enter
into
a
fight
with
a
rival
gang
and
gets
involved
in
certain
scuffles
with
the
gang.
Raja
elopes
to
Madurai
and
later
becomes
a
very
popular
don
there.
With
a
walrus
moustache,
broken
English
and
his
travel
in
BMW,
Raja
tries
to
create
laughs
among
the
audience.
The
first
half
of
the
story
deals
with
Surya,
Raja's
brother.
Both
Raja
and
Surya
is
capable
of
handling
any
number
of
people
at
a
stretch,
sing,
dance
and
even
capable
of
giving
punch
dialogues
every
now
and
then.
At
one
point
of
time
Surya
enters
into
a
trouble
and
that
marks
the
entry
of
Raja
to
rescue
his
brother.
The
movie
is
somewhat
similar
to
a
Tamil
film
with
lots
of
actions,
songs
and
punch
dialogues.
Mammootty
and
Prithviraj
looks
good
on
screen
as
usual.
Shreya
Saran
plays
the
love
lady
to
Prithviraj
in
the
film
and
has
done
her
role
impressively.
There
is
nothing
much
in
her
role.
Siddique
and
Riyas
Khan
play
the
baddies
in
the
film.
They
look
like
caricatures
at
the
hands
of
the
heroes.
Suraj
and
Salim
Kumar
handle
their
usual
role
of
comedy
and
tries
to
create
a
good
number
of
counter
jokes
in
the
film.
Director
Vyshakh
has
been
successful
in
giving
both
the
heroes
equal
importance
in
the
film.
The
fist
look
of
the
heroes
in
the
film
is
impressive
and
stylish.
Writers
Siby
K
Thomas
and
Udayakrishna
have
succeeded
in
allotting
almost
equal
footage
to
them.
Jassie
Gift's
music
suites
the
mood
of
the
film
and
sequences.
Shaji's
visuals
too
is
impressive.
On
the
whole
we
can
say
that
though
a
lengthy
film,
and
without
much
in
the
storyline,
Pokkiri
Raja
is
a
mass
masala
entertainer.
There
are
some
good
comedies
and
some
good
sequenes.
Nothing
much
cannot
be
expected.
A
relaxing
film
on
the
whole.
