Story and plot of 'Happy Raj'

ETimes review




ETimes review for the film reads, "Happy is good-intentioned but a bit of a knobhead, unlucky in love and slow on the uptake. His dad is a miserly school teacher, and the combination of the two has made Happy something of a local joke."


It further says, "The body shaming that begins with Kathamuthu's nickname doesn't stay with him, it carries across to Happy and stretches across generations, revisited so often that what starts as a running gag turns into something oddly mean-spirited. When Happy lands a job at an IT company in Bangalore and meets Kavya (Sri Gouri Priya), the film finds its groove. Kavya actually likes him, but her condition is that his family formally approach hers. Her father Rajiv (Abbas, returning to Tamil cinema after over a decade) is an NRI, and when he collides with Kathamuthu, the culture clash between the city-bred father and the village traditionalist becomes the film's engine. Parts of the fathers' boxing showdown are enjoyable, though it mostly feels contrived. There are way too many convenient scenes with exaggerated characters that you just don't buy."


GV Prakash fits comfortably in the lovable-loser role. George Maryan as the eccentric father steals many scenes and brings warmth to the father-son dynamic. Sri Gouri Priya holds her own as the female lead. The coming days will be crucial for its final box office verdict.
