‘Rajadhi Raja’ a mass
entertainer for Mammootty fans
Shekharan Kutty (Mammootty) runs a restaurant adjacent to the petrol bunk
he owns, the kind you see on the highways in India. With a pretty wife Radha
(Lakshmi Rai) and a school going daughter, Kutty is a happy man.
When Radha’s cousin, Swami Ayyappan (Jojo) visits them, we get to see what a contrast he is to the meek and timid Shekharan Kutty, who shies away from any fight and prefers to mind his own business.
One day, Shekharan Kutty is taken into custody by the police who mistake him to be Raja, a notorious don of Mumbai. Kutty is released only after a sound thrashing by the cops.
Back home, life looks good once again for Kutty. But then Ayyappan’s attitude of throwing his weight around lands him in trouble with a bunch of goons from Mumbai.
With them baying for his blood, Ayappan seeks refuge in Kutty’s house. Kutty’s family is threatened and that’s when viewers get to see the real face of Kutty. With Kutty’s past catching up with him, the question in their minds now is ‘who is Raja?’
Ajay Vasudevan’s debut film entertains Mammootty fans who will whistle in glee as their idol goes about bashing goons. Not to forget the comic moments.
The story is not new and you wouldn’t call it one of Mammootty’s great films. Lakshmi Rai in a homely wife’s role is pleasant surprise. Bollywood actor Mukesh Khanna plays Raja’s close buddy while Raza Murad is seen as a head of a notorious gang that is into drug trafficking and terrorist activities. Joy Mathews play the bad guy again. Siddique comes in a dignified role as a DGP while Lena, his onscreen wife is an IAS Officer.
A predictable fare!
