Seema Raja starring Samantha, Sivakarthikeyan, Soori, Simran.
The film harks back to the times of zamindars and royalty, and Seema Raja is among its few torchbearers in present-day Tamil Nadu. He struts around like a king. He gives away money to those who enquire his well-being. He drives a chariot (recall Rajini in Muthu?) and tries to bring order in conflicting situations. His arch-rival is the head of Singampatti, a neighbouring village that is always at war with his people. The first half ambles on without much purpose, preferring to concentrate on his benign romance (with a PT teacher called Selvi, played by Samantha) and a comedy track (with Soori, who else?) that elicits laughs only sporadically.
