Our story and wisdom
The story revolves around family clashes and light moments. ‘Happy Raj’ attempts to blend comedy with emotional family bonding.
An ETimes review of the film states, “George Marian is the film’s biggest asset. One could say it’s more his film than GVP’s. He commits himself to an earnestness that makes even the weaker material watchable, and the father-son dynamic with GV Prakash carries a real warmth. GV Prakash fits the mold of a lovable loser comfortably and lands enough of his comedic beats to keep things moving. Abbas brings nostalgia and a certain easy charm to the film. He returns, even if his character is written with little depth.”
Gouri Priya has her own personality, and the supporting cast, including Adhirchi Arun and Premji Amaran, shares enough comedic energy to keep the middle stretches afloat. Justin Prabhakaran’s music is serviceable.”
Actors and performances
George Marian plays Kathamuthu and shines as the eccentric father. His performance adds more emotion to the father-son scenes with GV Prakash. Sri Gouri Priya and Prathana Nathan handle their roles well in the romantic track.
Abbas returns with easy charm and the supporting cast, including Kishore Rajkummar, Udayaraj and Deepthi, adds comedic ambiance in parts as per our official review.Disclaimer: Box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
