    Love is all you need

    Though our FB status might say otherwise, most of our relationships today are complicated and according to Atlee the most complicated relationship of all time is Marriage. Hence, in his maiden venture, he has attempted to unwind the knot of all knots and to a great extent has succeeded too.

    Raja Rani, a story based on the lives of four individuals and how the ripples they create end up canceling each other. What begins as a Catholic style marriage soon shifts to an apartment with the couples bickering at each other with the utmost fury like the lions and the Gladiators. But deep inside, both present a flashback with love as a common link. Who succeeds, Love or The lovers or the couples? You know what to do to know the answer.

    Atlee, the débutante deserves appreciation for several reasons, for choosing a script free from heroism and Newton defying action sequences, for choosing a strong cast (Who would have imagined the Lungi clad villain of Naan Kadavul in a Reid & Taylor with a funny bone), for using these casts to deliver the message in almost every scene without making a fuzz about it.

    Arya, Nayanthara, Jai, Nazriya have successfully brought life to the characters.The supporting cast including Santhanam, Sathyaraj, 'Naan Kadavul' Rajender have also done justice to their roles. Arya has retained his lover boy image with Santhanam as his side kick. Jai has ensured that we don't miss Santhanam in the first half. Nazriya's potential glimmers and with that enchanting look, she is definitely here to stay. Nayanthara's fasting with Tamil cinema is finally over and one hopes that she continues to entertain in the coming years. Santhanam has proved his mettle once again. Sathyaraj bring tears and at the same time helps us wipe it off.

    The complications of any relationship can be easily dealt with once we realize that is complicated. 'Misunderstanding' can cause greater mayhem than what Katrina did to US. A clean mind and a willing heart is all it takes to make any relationship work. Though Atlee sprinkled many advice throughout, one refuses to leave my hearing apparatus and I've translated it to my best, "No couple are born in this world as 'made for each other'. It's how you live that makes it meaningful"

    Must watch for all Newlyweds and those awaiting.

    Very touching movie

    I and my wife were feeling bored and went to see this movie in Shanti theater, Hyderabad.

    Initially we thought this is a regular movie.

    The starting scene with heart touching music welcomes you to the movie rather nicely.

    Thereafter every scene is like a fresh scene. I am glued to my seat waiting to see what will happen next.

    Then there are many scenes in the movie that produced tears in our eyes.

    Every scene was nicely presented with awesome music.

    There is right blend of humor as well.

    Nayanatara has produced one of the best acting. It is rare to see a good role being played by female in a south Indian movie.

    OVerall simply vow, what a surprise, really heart touching movie. Redefines what love is all about.

    There is life after love, there is love after marriage.

    A Cool Breezy Entertainer

    A cool breezy entertainer. Director Atlee made an awesome entry in Kollywood with this brilliant movie. though the wine is old, but the package was promising. I enjoyed a lot. All credits goes to this young director to make this movie a memorable one. The casting was extra ordinary: Arya, Nayanthara, Jai, Nazriya, Sathyan and Sathyaraj. Nayanthara was ravishing, Nazriya looked as short cutie, Jai was good and Arya was the correct fit for that character. Nayanthara's performance was extraordinary, well i wud say, she returned to Kollywood with a BANG!!!! Sathyaraj's father character was good, he performed well.. Though Santhanam was playing the comedy part, but also he did a wonderful character in serious role. Music was enjoyable and the BGM was extremely blended with the movie. Kudos to GVP. Raja Rani was the perfect family entertainer with the correct mixture of Comedy, Romance, Sentiments & Music. One of the best romantic movies around. Don't wait for the DVD or the pirated copy, try to watch it in the theater itself.

    Good One

    Excellent one from Director. Useful to youth who suicide after love failure. Good sentimental movie. Family Entertainer . All the Actors did their part well int the movie.

    The first half is about the love story of the Heroine and the second half is about the love story of hero. Director maintained good suspense all over movie without feeling bore.

    Cast - Arya,Jai,Nayanathra,Nazriya Nazim, Santhanam,Sathyaraj,Rajendran and many more.

    The story begins with John (Arya) and Regina (Nayanthara) getting married at a church. John and Regina have agreed to get married just to make their parents happy. When they take their wedding vows Regina utters her lover's name 'Surya.' Upon hearing this,Regina's father faints in the church. Regina feels sorry for her father and ends up marrying John. They live in a flat and John comes home every night drunk deliberately to disturb Regina. Their neighbors are also annoyed by this attitude of John and chides Regina one morning when this nuisance gets worse. They also try to irritate each other in every possible way. Eventually, Regina applies for transfer to stay away from John and he is not affected by this decision.
