‘Vai Raja Vai’ a
typical masala entertainer
By Mythily
Ramachandran
It’s that hunch, a premonition of knowing what can happen next, which
lands Karthik, (Gautham Karthik) a middle class boy and an IT professional into
trouble.
When his senior colleague Pandu (Vivek) notices this special trait in him, he decides to use Karthik to rake in moolah.
With his sister’s wedding approaching and egged on by Pandu, Karthik joins a cricket betting circle to make quick bucks.
It’s just that one time, he says, but then quitting this group is not that easy. Ranthe (Daniel Balaji) the man managing this vicious circle is not going to let him off so easily. He coerces Karthik into joining him on board a cruise, where he intends using Karthik’s supernatural powers of premonition for a bigger game on the roulette board where the stakes are high. And the victim in this ploy becomes Karthik’s lover, Priya (Priya Anand) kidnapped by Ranthe.
Got the drift? ‘Vai Raja Vai’ is a typical commercial entertainer with all elements in place. Karthik’s premonition powers is the new peg for director Aishwarya Dhanush’s second film.
Like Aishwarya stated in her interview, “Don’t watch ‘Vai Raja Vai,’ keeping ‘3’ (her debut film) in mind,” this film is a different cup of tea altogether.
The first half is fun with humourous scenes delivered by Satish (Satish), Karthik’s friend. However, Gautham Karthik could have worked on his expressions better. Comedian Vivek certainly needs to think out of the box. Viewers are tired of his dressing up like a woman. It’s just not funny. Despite not marking his villain role with anything quirky, Daniel Balaji is impressive.
Stylishly packaged and racy, this thriller is a one -time watch.
