Run Raja Run is a 2014 bilingual comedy film shot in Telugu and Tamil directed by Sujeeth and produced by Uppalapati Pramod & V. Vamsi Krishna Reddy on UV Creations banner[1]. The film features Sharwanand, Seerat Kapoor, Adivi Sesh, Jayaprakash and Sampath Raj in important roles. The film released worldwide on August 1, 2014 to positive reviews from critics.[2][3]

Cast

Production

Sharwanand was approached by short film maker Sujeeth to play the male protagonist in the film and the former accepted the offer after expressing few doubts. He was forced by the makers to change his look for the film and for giving him a new look, Bhaskar designed the costumes and hair stylist Hakim Aalim was selected for the hair styling and basic look.[4] He did not take any remuneration for the film as the producers were his friends.[5] Seerat Kapoor was selected after conducting a photo shoot followed by a screen test after she gave her audition at Hyderabad which marked her debut in Telugu cinema.[6] Uppalapati Pramod and Vamsi Krishna announced this film with Adivi Sesh in an important role apart from the protagonists in mid December 2013.[7]

Further details about the project were unveiled on February 10, 2014 and the film was titled Run Raja Run after one of the short films directed by Sujeeth and the producers confirmed that the film is a bilingual. R. Madhi was declared as the cinematographer and M. Ghibran was selected as the music director marking his Telugu debut.[8] On February 10, 2014 the press release confirmed that Adivi Sesh, Sampath Raj, Jayaprakash, Vennela Kishore, Ali, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Vidyullekha Raman and Ajay Ghosh are part of the principal cast.[8] By mid-February 2014, about 50% of the film's shoot was complete and the shooting was undergoing at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad before shifting to Goa for a month long schedule.[9]

Reception

The film received positive reviews from critics. Deccan Chronicle wrote "Director Sujeeth's story is not unique, but his screenplay makes it interesting. A pat to the young director’s back for coming up with a breezy entertainer. There are a few minus points too as the beginning of the film is a bit boring. The film, however, slowly picks up."[10] Sify gave a review stating "Overall Run Raja Run is a fun caper, with a impressive second half. For Sharwanand this film is a perfect comeback. The pluses in this film are the lead hero’s performance and the twists and turns. Run Raja Run promises good entertainment this monsoon."[11] IndiaGlitz gave a review stating "The director managers to narrate a story with so many non-obvious ideas, in a simpler way. The style of screenplay has snatches of the narration we saw in 'Kick' but with a difference. Sujeeth's writing and execution is creative. With no action and only mind games and slick and snazzy presentation, the film will be lapped up by the class movie-loving audience" and rated the film 3.25/5.[12]

On the other hand, The Hindu wrote "What seem to be attempts at humour just end up being crass and forced. However, things do pick up towards the climax and all the pointless sequences seem to fall into place. It is with this twist that the film finally becomes interesting."[13] The Times of India wrote "Sujeeth gets a lot of things right in his debut film; however, it still is a lost opportunity. The emphasis on style takes over the sharp writing that's quite visible in the first act. For all you know, Run Raja Run could have been a truly unique and quirky film in a long time. Alas, it ends up as a light-hearted entertainer which begins to take itself too seriously after a point and loses its edginess in the process" and rated the film 3/5.[14]

Soundtrack

Untitled

M. Ghibran composed the music and background score for this film which marked his debut in Telugu.[15] He was approached by Sujeeth, Uppalapati Pramod and R. Madhi to compose the film's music at Chennai when Pramod was impressed with his work in Naiyaandi and Sujeeth was impressed with his work in Vaagai Sooda Vaa.[16] Ghibran, who wanted to do a Telugu film then, accepted their proposal. There were 5 songs in the film's soundtrack in which one was a fast beat song, one was a melody, one was a pub song and the other two were of different genres. Ramajogayya Sastry wrote three songs while Sri Mani wrote the other two songs.[17] The film's soundtrack was released on June 15, 2014 by hosting a promotional event at GRIET in Hyderabad and the album was marketed by Junglee Music.[18][19]

The film's soundtrack received positive reviews from critics. The Times of India wrote "All in all, the album has peculiar compositions and Ghibran delivers promising tracks with refreshing feel mainly targeted at youth" and rated the soundtrack 3/5.[20] IndiaGlitz wrote "'Run Raja Run's music director seems to have begun with experimenting a bit. Maybe he was wanted that way by his director. The album has got a quirky side to it. A song crooned by Chinmayi, that comes in the end, is the best in two senses: the music as well as its ability to undo the offbeat feel of the whole album. Watch out the presentation on the screen as much as the songs."[21] Milliblog wrote "Ghibran’s trademark style is intact here, but that’s also starting to seem like what is pulling the album down at times". It was also one of Ghibran's soundtracks to receive 200 words as Milliblog is known for their 100 words review.[22]
