Hansika, unlike many purposeless roles, has something to do here as far as the story is concerned. Jiiva churns out a good performance but his character needed more vigor and verve to leave the audience in splits. Ramprakash has tried to write a laughworthy drama around Jiiva's unusual condition but what we get is a half hearted attempt from the director who showed extraordinary promise in his debut film Tamilukku En Ondrai Aluthavum. However, a sudden turn of contrived events make Jiiva and Sibiraj, who is a terrible choice for a villain role, adversaries. When his yawning becomes contagious, that becomes the final nail in the coffin for his professional life. Jiiva suffers from uncontrollably excessive yawning and this lands him in trouble at the workplace. The comedy factor in the film works only to an extent and the interesting fantasy element is not explored enough to keep the narration entertaining. Pokkiri Raja directed by Ramprakash Rayappa has a peachy conceit but is let down by an uninteresting writing that is all over the place. Review Pokkiri Raja & earn 20 DM Points.* Review Submit
