Rajapattai - Movie Review

This will be the last release of Kollywood this year. The movie has Vikram in lead with Deeksha Seth as his love interest. The director of this movie is Susindran. He is well known for directing offbeat hit movies like Azhagar samiyin kuthirai and Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu. Music and Background Score has been composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja.


Anal Murugan (Vikram) is a stunt artist whose Ambition is to become a leading Villian in Cinema. He Sings, dances, clads colourful costumes like a hero but wants to become a Villian. He encounters an incident where there is an Attempt to kill an elderly man Dakshinamurthy (Kasinadhuni Viswanath), Murugan saves him and gets to know that the attempt was by a politician (Sana) to grab his land where Dakshinamurthy runs an Orphanage and Murugan offers him refuge. The old man distrusts Murugan thinking he has been sheltered for his property and ends up getting cheated by his own son (working for the politician) and loses his land. Murugan, uses his muscle and man power to get the land back to the Elderly man and inturn many innocent people who have lost it.

National Award winner Chiyaan Vikram who has been doing roles which involves immense acting skills has chosen to do a Mass entertainer and flex his muscles a bit. He Does look like a Stunt man in this movie. He appears in 8 different looks for a single song and 17 different looks the entire movie. This is not new to vikram. He has worked on Mass entertainers like Bheema, Saamy,  Dhool and Arul. After doing difficult roles, Choosing to do a Mass entertainer in between and romance a pretty lass  is common amoung Kollywood Stars. Ofcourse, everyone needs a change and show their skills in all Departments. But, Vikram, Its now difficult for the audience to see you that way. Stick to roles like you played in Anniyan, pitamagan and Deiva Thirumagal and Saamy. You are the best and unbeatable in it. Even Roles like in Arul is acceptable.


Deeksha Seth, comes in and goes out unnoticed. At times, you feel, was she really needed in this movie. A Stunt man does not necessarily need a college going bubbly girlfriend who just falls for him with hero's unusual minimal effort to gain her interest. Hard to Judge her acting skills with this movie. Hardly has a dialogue to speak. Lets see how she fares in Vettai Mannan (2012) with Simbu.

Suseendran directing a commercial entertainer after Naan Mahan Alla, comes up with this one. Not bad but he could have given us something better. Commercial entertainers needs some punch and catchy Dialogues, movies like the ones of Director Hari (Saamy, Singham, and Tamizh). Something more racey and that keeps audience on their toes.


Director Suseendran

Yuvan Shankar Raja's music is bad except a single track Podipayyan Polave that stays in your heart. The song is accompanied by beautiful sets, and wonderful dance choreography by Shoby.


Podipayyan Polave Promo

Overall, Rajapattai scores 2.5 out 5. A typical movie where you walk in, empty your popcorn bucket and gulp down a mug of coke and walk out without even talking about it.

Hope, no one considers this for an award.
