Seema Raja review-Verdict: Mass Entertainer However, thanks to the fun elements and the historical portion, this one ends up as a one time watch. Though they tried something different this time, Seema Raja is not the best of Ponram and Sivakarthikeyan. Balasubramaniam has provided rich visuals and T Muthuraj's work in the historic portion is commendable. Technically, Imman's songs are already big hits and his pulsating score in the flashback also elevates the film. Director Ponram has done enough research for the period portion and there is a good connect with the present issues of farmers but we don't understand why he chose to spent nearly the entire first half with pointless elements including the predictable romance and few silly comedy scenes!

Until the historic portion, the screenplay goes in various directions which tests our patience. As we have seen Sivakarthikeyan - Soori combo in many films, their average fun moments in Seema Raja hasn't worked much. To be honest, Seema Raja is not as funny as Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam and Rajini Murugan. Simran (who hams and screams most of the time) plays the negative role whereas Ponram has wasted a good performer like Lal here. Samantha looks gorgeous as the traditional rural girl and she also get scenes showcasing her silambam skills. Though Soori's one liners evoke laughter, some of his portions are quite irritating. The actor also shines in the historical portion. Sivakarthikeyan as usual steals the show with his screen presence, comedy timing and energetic screen presence.

The wounded couple waits for the right time to attack Seema Raja and lure the innocent farmers by promising them a huge money for their land.

Meanwhile, there is a rich businessman (Lal) and his second wife Kaleeswari (Simran) who hates Seema Raja and his dad (Napoleon) as they kicked them out of the local market. Everyone in his village refers to Seema Raja as Rasa (king) and he enjoys the pride. Seema Raja (Sivakarthikeyan) is a descendant of Singampati royal king family. Though entertainment is the major motto of Ponram, this time he has tried to infuse historic portion and a social message highlighting importance of farmers protecting their land with many scenes stitched together from old Rajinikanth classics. Sivakarthikeyan and Ponram combo which effortlessly delivered two blockbusters Rajini Murugan and Varudhapadatha Valibar Sangam is back with Seema Raja another village based mass entertainer.
