Raja Magal Raja Magal is a Tamil serial broadcast on Zee Tami >> Read More... is a 2023 Tamil-language film written and directed by Henry I. It revolves around the idea of drawing a line between the responsibility of a parent to fulfill their child's wishes and their tendency to pamper the child to the point where they become spoiled. The film stars Aadukalam Murugadoss, Velina and Baby Pratiksha in lead roles. 

Plot 

Sundaram (played by Aadukalam Murugadoss) is a modest middle-class man who runs a small mobile shop. His daughter Kanmani (played by Baby Pratiksha) is quite literally the apple of his eye. Sundaram pushes all the boundaries of his modest lifestyle to ensure that every wish of his dearest daughter is fulfilled. 

As a result, Sundaram's house is filled with out-of-place luxuries, like air conditioners, in the small house. Kanmani just needs to profess her wish once, and Sundaram is sure to bring whatever it is she wants to her. His wife and friend try their best to caution him against his over-the-top pampering, but Sundaram listens to no one but his little Kanmani.

One day, Kanmani decides she wants to buy her own house and asks her father about it. Sundaram agrees, thinking that she will forget about it in a few days. But Kanmani's insistence grows and grows. Sundaram tries his best to fulfill her wish, but eventually, the reality of his situation comes out. The story revolves around how Sundaram learns the difference between pampering and spoiling, and the beautiful bond between a father and his daughter.

Star Performance 

Aadukalam Murugadoss is the star of this film. He plays the role of a loving and doting father. Murugadoss drives that point home, showing every ounce of the love that Sundaram holds for Kanmani on screen. The way he portrays this love is touching indeed. 

Baby Pratiksha plays the role of Kanmani. For her tender age, she is a very decent actor. She portrays both the naivete and the sensitivity of a child perfectly. Her acting is slightly over-the-top and melodramatic, but it only further enhances her character. 

The rest of the cast has also done a decent job. Velina, who plays the role of Sundaram's wife Vasantha, has done a good job as someone who is always wary of the way Sundaram refuses to deny his daughter. Baghavati Perumal adds a nice touch as Sundaram's well-meaning friend.

Analysis 

The storyline of Raja Magal is pretty simple. The title of this film means "King's Daughter", and the premise does it justice. It is just a story of the bond between a father and a daughter, with touching elements and important lessons. 

Though simple, the narrative is engaging. The journey following Sundaram and his quest to complete all his daughter's demands makes the film interesting. There is also a high emotional quotient to the film. The writing in these scenes may be melodramatic, but they give important takeaways. 

There are some scenes that feel slightly unnecessary, like the director trying to waste time. The writing may also seem overtly cliche at certain points. But the saving grace in such scenes is the acting of the cast, who pull of heavy scenes with much ease.

The movie also provides a good lesson in indulgence for parents. Through Sundaram and Kanmani's journey, we see what happens when a parent tries to give the child everything they ask for, no matter how illogical it may be. The repercussions that Sundaram faces show us that sometimes it's best to simply talk to your child and gently explain things to them so that they can understand reality and the fact that they can't always get what they want. 

The cinematography of the film and the soundtrack are well done. The complement the emotions and simplicity of the movie, making it more pleasing to watch. 

What's There?

• Great acting by the cast

• Simple and engaging plot with good morals and lessons

What's Not There?

• Too much melodrama at times

Verdict

Raja Magal is a sweet and compelling film that makes you feel warm and wholesome but also teaches you important lessons. The story of Sundaram and Kanmani shows us the undying bond and love between a father and daughter and is an unmissable reminder for all parents.
