Pokkiri Raja is the latest movie by the ever green Mammootty. A movie with out story and reason. However, it will turn out to be an additional hit in Tamil and Malayalam as it is a crowd entertainer. The society is looking for such films rather than first-class pictures. There was days when Mammooty used to do only excellent malayalam pictures, however nowadays the actor is trying to maintain equilibrium between both ends.
The narrative of Pokkiriraja is awfully blurred. Pokkiri Raja movie is about two sons Raja and Surya (Mammootty and Prithviraj) of an idealistic school teacher who turn into dadas. One of them run away from home and grow to be a big dada while the other stays at home and become a local dada. The whole plot is created around two feudal families fighting over a temple festival in a village; a typical tamil movie style.
Years later the 2 dadas meet in a big city and sparks fly as they do not realize that they are brothers. Nothing new about the story if it is there. Newcomer Vyshakh is doing the direction.
The dialogues go like this: Mammootty states he is not insecure of the young Prithviraj as he has just started taking little steps. The whole narrative where the two actors share the screen are interspersed with such conversation.
And, when Prithviraj talks about the dress code in night clubs, the elder one claims that he has been the style icon for the youngsters for a long time. This goes on and on.
Both Mammootty and Prithviraj have ample scope to please their hardcore followers. Mammootty dances and uses his broken English to induce laughter as has been the trend in recent times.
Prithviraj packaged as a wholesome entertainer does not disappoint. One just hopes that this manufactured adulation does not go to his head. Editor have done a brilliant work by picking all those little romantic sequences from a lengthy movie and compile to a gorgeous to watch 3 mints video as the song “Manikkinavin”. In total for the real viewer, it is a disappointment. But it will turn out to be a super hit.
Finally, Pokkiriraja may apparently achieve the super hit status with the help of the fans. But, for the genuine viewer, it is a disappointment. A comprehensive PokkiriRaja Review is given here.
