Anthony L. Ruben’s editing works are perfect though movie appears to be lengthy yet no complaints.

Raja Rani is a simple, feel good romantic entertainer by director Atlee. Arya holds the film with his substantial performance and together with Santhanam he brought theater down with laughs. Nayanthara is glamorous, while Jai and Nazriya Nazim performed equally better.

Despite the fact that RajaRani is not so preachy, it delivers a good message through narrative. Atlee’s confidence had worked big time as the script unfolding is only done through its story.

Final Verdict:

An emotional journey of Raja Rani is fun to watch…
