Here are the reviews of "Rajadhi Raja" by various critics
Muyals. Com - "Considering a debut film Ajay Vasudevan did an outstanding job. He can be counted as one of the promising debutante directors in 2014. It has been a while since Mammootty was seen in such a massive appearance. While being humble common man who strives to survive in Shekharan Kutty; Rajashekhar is a fearless and ruthless mob boss. Mammootty's precise dialogue delivery is simply awesome. Raai Lakshmi and Mammootty chemistry proves to be good once again. It is rejoice to see them together once again after Annan Thampi. The supporting cast Siddique,Joy Mathew and Lena is brilliant and did their part quite well.'
"Editing by Mahesh Narayanan deserves special mention. The cuts were so good that the movie never went out of its flow and grip. The beauty of rural area in the outskirts of Kerala-Tamilnadu border and Mumbai is scooped by the cinematographer Shaji. The movie is one of a kind mass masala entertainer considering the way of portrayal and progress of the story line. Rajadhi Raja is a one man show".
Desimartini.com - Ajai Vasudev has done a good job with the direction, music by Karthik Raja and Berny Igantius goes well with the movie, Gopi Sundar's background score is good. The Rajadhi Raja chant and Swami Ayyappa chant go well with the scenes. The stunts look classy. The one item number-cum-family song is well choreographed. I particularly loved the locations which are referred to as Chitoor in Palakkad, it's a beauty. Siddique, Rahul Dev and others have a played the supporting roles well. Blink and you will miss Unni Mukundan's cameo.
Onlookersmedia.com – "The comedy sequences of the movie are perfectly timed and are up to the mark. To top it all, there are numerous scenes in the audience open mouthed and shocked. Ajay Vasudev as showcased his talent in his first directorial venture itself as his creative genius is clearly visible in the movie. To sum up, the movie is an interesting story in an interesting way".
