Some of Madhura Raja’s best moments come when the film gleefully makes references to not just its predecessor but also other films. It accomplishes what it is trying to achieve. Yes, you can easily guess the direction in which the film is going and how it’s all going to end, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. In fact, it was a template used by many mass entertainers that came before it. We are already familiar with the template that Pokkiri Raja was built on. It becomes much easier to appreciate and review a film like Madhura Raja once you know exactly what you’re going to get - you’re not burdened by high expectations. Anusree Nair plays the perpetually angry Vasanthi and Mahima Nambiar as her younger sibling Meenakshi.Ĭhinnan’s romance with the latter brings to mind Jai’s 2008 film Subramaniapuram, and brings forth its own set of complications. Chinnan, a replacement for Prithviraj’s character from Pokkiri Raja, happens to be the son of the man who made Raja what he is now.Īpart from the few supporting actors returning from the original - Salim Kumar, Nedumudi Venu, Vijayaraghavan and Siddique to name a few - there are new ones. When someone starts investigating, dead bodies fall, and Nadeshan prevails - until Raja sets foot in the same place, 25 years later.īefore Raja makes his grand entry reminiscent of Brad Pitt’s Troy (lots of boats!), Raja sends Chinnan (Tamil actor Jai) to handle the situation involving Nadeshan and Raja’s relatives (Nedumudi Venu, Vijayaraghavan). Nadeshan has something to do with the Vypeen liquor tragedy of 1982 that destroyed hundreds of families.
This time Raja has to deal with a different problem in the form of a local liquor baron Nadeshan (Jagapathi Babu, as a typical South Indian movie villain).
