Story and our verdict

The story revolves around family clashes and light-hearted moments. ‘Happy Raj’ tries to mix comedy with emotional family bonds.ETimes review for the film reads, “George Maryan is the film’s biggest asset. One could even say that it’s his film more so than GVP’s. He commits with an earnestness that makes even the weaker material watchable, and the father-son dynamic with GV Prakash carries genuine warmth. GV Prakash fits the lovable-loser mould comfortably and lands enough of his comic beats to keep things moving. Abbas brings nostalgia and a certain easy charm to his comeback, even if his character is written with little depth. Gouri Priya holds her own, and the supporting cast, including Adhirchi Arun and Premji Amaran, chip in with enough comic energy to keep the middle stretches afloat. Justin Prabhakaran’s music is serviceable.”

Cast and performances

George Maryan 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 makes a comeback with easy charm and the supporting cast including Kishore Rajkumar, Udayaraj and Deepthi adds comic vibe in parts as per our official review.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
