Madha Gaja Raja Movie Story:
Raja alias Madha Gaja Raja alias MGR (Vishal) runs a cable TV in a small town. His father is an inspector who is close to retirement. Raja tells a criminal who is serving a prison sentence in a case that his life is in danger and brings him to safety. He falls in love with the criminal's daughter Madhavi (Anjali) at first sight. With this, he arranges for them to stay at his house. Both of them fall in love.
If we cut, Madhavi's father and Raja's father have a fight and Madhavi leaves. While she is in that pain, she receives an invitation to a wedding at her childhood master's house. When all her childhood friends are invited, all her old friends (children) and other friends meet. They enjoy the wedding very much.
After all this commotion, when Raja wants to go home, he finds out that his friends are in trouble. It turns out that the reason for this is the hand of politician and media head Kakarla Vishwanath (Sonu Sood), who runs governments behind the scenes. With this, Raja gives him a piece of mind and sets out to save his friends.
How did Raja fight against the big shot who was playing the entire state? How did he use Minister Sattipandu (Manobala) for this? And what is Raja's love track with Maya (Varalakshmi Sarath Kumar)? Did Raja finally do justice to his friends? The rest of the movie is about how he hurt Kakarla.
Mada Gaja Raja Movie Analysis:
Vishal's films have not been getting the expected results recently. He has been disappointing in Telugu for a long time. Moreover, he recently appeared sick and worried everyone. However, he showed his commitment by participating in the promotions of the movie Mada Gaja Raja. He tried to save the movie that was going to be released after 12 years.
This movie, which was released in Tamil for Sankranthi, became a big hit there. It gave a big boost to everyone including Vishal. It was particularly impressive as a comedy entertainer. And if you look at it, did the same magic happen in Telugu? There are chances that that magic will happen here too. Even though the movie was made 12 years ago, the story is routine, but the comedy is evergreen. It is special that this movie can still make you laugh.
Director Sundar C, who is now running after horror movies, has succeeded in making `Mada Gaja Raja` a comedy entertainer. With the comedy of that time, he has succeeded in making the audience laugh at the same level today.
In terms of story, there is nothing new, you can understand how a 12-year-old movie is supposed to be. However, the director has written the comedy elements well in this. Especially, he has written the character of Santhanam hilariously. The punches he throws are the highlight of this. He makes you laugh with his punches from the beginning to the end.
If Santhanam is angry in the first part, then Manobala is used in the second part. His character is hilarious. He succeeded in making you laugh back to back till the end. Manobala is the character who turns the story around in the second half. He just drives the movie with his expressions. He made the actors sweat and the audience laugh.
After a long time, Santhanam has become another highlight of a comedy movie. Now, he has shown vintage Santhanam in the background of his hero. Along with these, the love track with Anjali is another attraction. The scenes where they save their father are also fun-filled. On the other hand, Varalakshmi Sarath Kumar is now impressive with powerful roles. But in this, she gave a visual treat with a glamorous role. She looked completely glamorous and lost her mind.
It is no exaggeration to say that Varalakshmi has never been seen so glamorous. Her track is also hilarious. Along with the glamour treat, comedy also worked out. The hero's philosophy of standing up for his friends in the film is another attraction. This is also a good message. But it may seem a bit boring to the current generation. Because many such films came out twenty years ago.
Now, the hero Tom and Jerry's fight with Sonu Sood is regular and routine, dominated by the punches of Santhanam, Manobala's comedy, Varalaxmi's beauty, and Anjali's love track. They make the movie hilarious. This makes it a movie that can be enjoyed regardless of time and generation.
Madha Gaja Raja Movie Actors Performance:
Vishal is a gem in the role of Madha Gaja Raja. On the one hand, he excelled in scenes like giving value to friends and fighting for them with Sonu Sood. There is nothing special to say about his acting. He made it easy. Another strength of the film is his son. He once again showed his universal form. He made the film hilarious with his own punches. Manobala made the second half stand out. He made people laugh with his expressions. Sonu Sood's villainy is impressive.
Now, in the case of Anjali and Varalakshmi, the director seems to have focused on showing their glamour side better than love tracks. Anjali is a sincere lover and Varalakshmi is a provocative lover with her beauty, they put tracks and make the audience bleed throughout. In that, these two also got excited. Subbaraju and Manivannan's characters seem okay. Sada, Arya and Shakeela's sparkles are a special attraction.
Technicians:
Richard M Nathan's camera work is excellent. The visuals still give the same experience. There is no shortage in terms of quality. Vijay Antony's music is another plus for the movie. The songs are thrilling. BJM is also good. Praveen KS and NB Srikanth's editing is sharp. The movie has been cut very crisply. It seems that the remaining episodes and the highlights have been highlighted.
That's why links are missing here and there. Director Sundar C has excelled as a director. Even though he made a regular commercial movie, he believed in comedy. That is the strength of the movie. However, it seems that the movie has been set in black and white. It seems like the episodes that explode are kept and everything else is cut.
That can be said to be a big plus for the movie. The Telugu dialogues and punches are very natural. They connect well with the Telugu audience. There is no shortage of production values in terms of production.
Finally: The first half is entertaining.. The second half is emotional.. Laughter is laughter. If you ignore the logic, it is definitely entertaining.
