Rajabheema Movie Review:
Rajabheema finally reaches theaters after years of delay, bringing along its Bigg Boss-era cast while trying to deliver a message about protecting wildlife. The movie aims to be both an emotional story about the bond between humans and elephants and a commercial Tamil entertainer but struggles to balance both.
The story follows Raja (Arav), who befriends an injured elephant, Bheema, as a child. Their bond grows, and as an adult, Raja helps protect elephants from poachers. Trouble begins when a corrupt minister, Mandranayagam (KS Ravikumar), is told that sacrificing a specific elephant will help him become Chief Minister. With the help of forest officials and poachers, he drugs and captures Bheema, forcing Raja to fight against time to save his friend from being killed.
The film has heartfelt moments that highlight the special connection between Raja and Bheema, reminding viewers why elephants need protection. However, these emotional scenes are often interrupted by overused Tamil cinema elements—slow-motion action sequences, predictable romance, and a typical political villain. The characters feel familiar, with the hero standing up for justice, the scheming politician as the main villain, and female characters playing minor roles in the male-dominated story.
Despite these clichés, the movie tells a clear story and keeps things moving within its short 118-minute runtime. Arav brings sincerity to his role, while KS Ravikumar makes his villainous character entertaining. The supporting actors, including Ashika and Oviya, have little to do, and comedian Yogi Babu’s short appearance feels unnecessary.
Rajabheema is a simple yet sincere wildlife drama. It successfully makes the audience care about elephants but sticks to a safe and familiar storytelling style instead of trying something new.
