Pokkiri Raja is the most recent movie by the Super star Mammootty. A movie with out tale and logic. However, it is going to be another hit in Tamil and Malayalam as it is a mass entertainer. The society is seeking for such pictures rather than first-class films. There was time when Mammooty used to do only excellent malayalam films, however at present the super star is trying to maintain equilibrium between both ends.
Mammootty, Prithvi and Sriya Saren in Pokkiriraja
The story line of Pokkiriraja is very hazy. 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 brother stays at home and turns into a local dada. The entire plot is created around two feudal families battling over a temple festival in a village; a typical tamil movie style.
Years later the 2 dadas run into eachother in a big city and sparks fly as they do not identify that they are brothers. Nothing new about the story if it is there. Pokkiriraja is directed by newcomer Vyshakh.
The dialogues go like this: Mammootty claims he is not insecure of the childish Prithviraj as he has just started taking little steps. The whole narrative where the two actors share the screen are interspersed with such talk.
And, when Prithviraj talks about the costume 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 like that for ever.
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 healthy entertainer does not disappoint. One just hopes that this manufactured praise does not go to his head. Editor have done a fantastic job 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 supposedly achieve the super hit status with the help of the fans. But, for the authentic viewer, it is a disappointment.
