Madhuraraja Story: A bar near the school in Pambinthuruth is causing unrest among the residents. But Chinna raja can’t contain the situation himself, enter Madhuraraja with his pomp and show.

Madhuraraja Review: Nine years after ‘Pokkiri raja’ Vysakh pairs up with Mammootty for Madhuraraja with Mammootty reprising his role as the titular character. Udayakrishna, the commercial-hit maker, spins this story catering to Mammootty fans waiting to see him in a larger-than-life avatar. And Madhuraraja is everything that they were waiting for.

Pambinthuruth needs their hero Madhuraraja, when liquor baron Nadeshan makes their hometown island his venue of crime. Though Chinna raja (Jai) is sent to contain a skirmish in the island things spiral our of his control and Madhuraraja needs to come to save the day. The film starts with promise. Though Mammootty, as Madhuraraja, takes a while to show up on screen, when does he does so with quite a splendor. Salim Kumar as novelist Ezhuthachan Alias Manoharan is reminiscent of the old Salim Kumar who cracked us up with his wise repartee. A Salim Kumar who had been missing for quite a while. The much touted Sunny Leone comes in as the main dancer to a song, dances quite well, and is never heard of or seen in movie ever again. Gopi Sundar’s music is vibrant, catchy and complements the narrative quite well.
