Madhura Raja critic's review: Irresistible mix of fun and Mammootty's machismo

The first show of Madhura Raja began at 9am and about 150 fans shows are held today. This makes it the first Malayalam film to have maximum number of fan shows in Kerala.

Check out here what the audience have said.

The celebrations by fans have already begun at many centres.

Madhuraraja be simultaneously releasing in ROI, UAE/GCC, US and Singapore.

Going by the advance booking, the film is set to witness excellent business. But it is yet to be seen that if Madhura Raja manages to break the records of Mohanlal's Lucifer.

“One can't call Madhura Raja as a sequel to Pokkiri Raja but it's the character Raja that is returning with a different premise, with a different set of people, facing different situations,” is how Mammootty chose to describe the movie during the promotinal event.

While Anusree, Shamna Kasim, Anna Rajan and Mahima Nambiar play the three female characters in the movie, actor Salim Kumar and Nedumudi Venu will be seen in their roles from Pokkiri Raja.

While Tamil actor Jai plays a pivotal role in the movie, Bollywood star Sunny Leone will be seen in a dance number.

The film has stunt coordinator as Peter Hein and music by Gopi Sundar. The film’s scriptwriter is Udaykrishna and cinematographer is Shaji Kumar.

Produced by Nelson Ipe, the film is helmed by Vyshak who earlier directed Pulimurugan. When asked if Madhura Raja is a copy of Pulimurugan, director Vyshak said, “How can one say that without even watching the movie. And even if it's a copy, it's my own work right. How well it has been copied can only be judged after the movie is watched.”
