Had it been more focused on Jiiva’s yawning issue or his conflict with Sibiraj, Pokkiri Raja would have been a real Raja. In that case the purpose of the film gets diluted. Is it a medical condition or a power? That is something the director has left the audience to guess.
Review By : Behindwoods Review Board Release Date : Mar 04,2016 Movie. Pokkiri Raja is a 2016 Indian movie directed by Ramprakash Rayappa starring Jiiva, Hansika Motwani, Sibiraj and Manobala. Similarly the reason for Jiiva’s yawning condition was not established properly. Pokkiri Raja (aka) Pokkiri Raja is a Tamil movie with production by PT Selvakumar. The battle between Jiiva and Sibiraj could have been a little more intense. When you expect a serious battle between the lead and the antagonist, you are offered with a comedy sequence. Pokkiri Raja manages to mildly engage you throughout because of its unpredictable narrative pattern. After a gap of more than one year highly talented actor Jiiva is back with 'Pokkiri Raja' close. Searching for logic here might waste your time. The lone purpose of making this film is to engross the audience with no holds barred entertainment. It might not manage to break the theatre into laughter but the comedy portion is tolerable, thanks to Yogi Babu who plays Jiiva’s ally. Hansika travels throughout the film and she has a solid role to play. One feels more of his powerful negative shades and less of humor could have worked better. Easily one of his best outings till date, he looks confident on screen. Sibiraj gets to play what his father (Sathyaraj) is best at - playing a sarcastic humorous villain. Roles like these aren’t new for Jiiva and he has brought his experience into place adequately.
We would have witnessed a lot of movies that make us yawn, but have you ever seen a film that actually revolves around yawning? Pokkiri Raja is an easy going guy who has yawning deficiency.Īfter playing some handsome looking sophisticated roles in films like Yaan, Endrendrum Punnagai and Neethaane En Ponvasantham, Jiiva gets back to his mass roots with Pokkiri Raja. So let’s check if the Raja is really worth the crown? Read the complete critics reviews & previews for the tamil movie Pokkiri Raja only on FilmiBeat.
Sibiraj plays the baddie while D Imman handles the music department for this movie produced by PTS Films International. After an intelligently made social thriller Tamizhuku En Ondrai Azhuthavum (TEOA), director Ramprakash Rayappa teams up with Jiiva and Hansika for an action comedy film - Pokkiri Raja.
