Puneeth’s 2017 film
Raajakumara
is one of the biggest hits in the career of
Puneeth Rajkumar, directed by
Santhosh Ananddram and co-starring
Priya Anand. The movie is a family entertainer which ran for more than 100 days. The movie is about how a rich person loses his entire family and ends up in a home where the caretakers help him solve his problems and help fulfil his late father's dreams. And, it was no surprise when the film's team remembered the film's four year milestone today. "#Raajakumara will always remain close to our hearts," shared Hombale films along with a poster celebrating the film's 4 years today.
In fact, the film's actress Priya Anand, who debuted in Kannada cinema with Puneeth’s 2018 film Raajakumara, had earlier revealed that while she has been a part of films in different languages, the love she received for her role in Raajakumara stands out. "On the set of
James, people referred to us as Raajakumara and Rajakumari, which, is not a first. Even when I went to Goa, people referred to me as
Rajakumari
of that film. It has been a very special kind of love from the Kannada fans," she says.
According to our critic, Raajkumara is one of the few mass films that has the charm of old-world family entertainers, while still retaining the sass and style related to films today. Santhosh Ananddram delivered one of Sandalwood's biggest hits with his debut and his second film has extravagance and substance that hits the right note. The role is tailormade for Puneeth Rajkumar, blending the right amount of commercial elements.
