    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.

    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.

    A Decent Romantic Emotional Mixbag

    The movie was well shot and beautifully presented... this flick is more like a real life coz there's no evil villain who drives other people crazy with his psychologically disordered behavior...! Surprisingly the choreography and soundtracks were great.... but the BGM sux (same ra... ra...) I think screenplay is the backbone of this film... Atlee has done a fabulous work which turned an ordinary story into watchable film!!! All the characters done a fair job to do not disappoint their director's expectations...! The trailers have been released so far are nothing to do with this film's storyline... coz that's what they wanted, they wanted to confuse us and do not get the story visual. well... they succeeded with me. the hype for this film was worth!!!

    As others mentioned, its old wine in new bottle but I just loved it...

    When this movie was released, just like any other Tamil movies I was not at all interested to watch thinking this would be another love story without offering anything new. The very next day after the release of the movie, I heard fantastic reviews about it from my friends and as well as review websites. Finally I went to watch the movie the third day of the release and it was a joy to watch. Even made my eyes wet at some of the emotional scenes. If in live you have loved anyone or failed in love, you should watch this movie.. For those guys, this is a "must watch before you die" category movie. You will never regret spending your time and money for this movie. HatsOff to Nayantara, Arya, Jai and Nazriya for their wonderful performance. Also special mention to Santhanam, for his "Nanban" character which he portrays in most of his movies and I kinda like them very much cos friendship is such a thing. Also not to forget the director Atlee, for his lovable creation. Highly recommended...

    _Thanks _MidhunJ

    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"

    Raja Rani--- Telltale Poetry

    Must watch for all Newlyweds and those awaiting.
