After completing its theatrical run and waiting period, GV Prakash's latest comedy entertainer Happy Raj is all set to arrive on OTT. The makers announced that the film will premiere on Prime Video on April 24. Directed by debutant Maria Raja Elanchezian, the film also stars Sri Gouri Priya as the female lead and George Maryan in a key role. The film also saw the comeback of Abbas, playing a pivotal character, after a long sabbatical.
Upon release on March 27, the film was met with positive as well as mixed reviews.
The film follows Anandraj aka Happy Raj (GV Prakash), a young man weighed down by his father’s social stigma, who struggles with isolation and rejection in both life and love. Seeking a fresh start, he moves to Bengaluru, where he meets Kavya and finds a chance at happiness. As their relationship deepens, the prospect of marriage brings their contrasting worlds into conflict. What follows is a clash shaped by class differences, cultural gaps, and the search for dignity.
An excerpt from our CE review of the film reads, "All the genuine fun moments and the compelling comedy are packed one after another in the second half of Happy Raj, and Maria definitely salvages a film that could have crashlanded. He is heavily bolstered by the wonderful music of Justin Prabhakaran and a terrific George Maryan, who shines high in his best role since Kaithi. In fact, it feels nice to have an actor like George get wonderfully written scenes that make it clear that the film might be titled Happy Raj, but the protagonist is definitely Kaathamuthu."
The film also stars Prarthna, Geetha Kailasam, Madurai Muthu, Adhirchi Arun, and Devi Mahesh, among others.
Produced by Jayavardhanan and co-produced by Jaikanth Suresh, the film has music by Justin Prabhakaran, cinematography by Madhan Christopher, editing by Selva RK and art direction by Kumar Gangappan.
