Raja Rani (2013)

Warning: Spoilers
Boring, routine with no redeeming characteristics whatsoever, and in spite of my finding nothing to recommend it, it still isn't as bad as, say, 'Total Siyappa'. Having said that, I'm in a minority, since the audience I saw this with was guffawing away at mostly unlaughable jokes, or jokes that started and ended without the punchline.

The dubbing's atrocious, the songs perfunctory, Nayantara's makeup's as bad as always (though her acting chops make their appearance once in a while), Arya's acting is bad (albeit sincere, and it has been heading downhill since his fantastic performances in 'Arindhum Ariyaamalum' and 'Pattiyal') and Sathyaraj is under-used. Jai's the only one who comes out smelling like roses, and Nazriya Nazim (oh-so-fantastic in 'Ohm Shanthi Ohsaana') is probably the biggest disappointment of all (not her fault - the overrated director has denied her and her co-stars all semblance of characterization).

I just don't see any point in watching this, but people sure are. Make up your own mind.
