Plot

Rajini Murugan (Sivakarthikeyan) is an unemployed youth from Madurai who spends his days roaming around with his best friend Thotathree (Soori) and supplying food to his grandfather Ayyankalai (Rajkiran), a highly respected gentleman who has large properties of land. Ayyankalai wants to divide all his properties among his children and grandchildren, but except Rajini Murugan and his father Malligarajan (G. Gnanasambandam), who is the headmaster of the local school, the rest of the family is settled abroad and never visit Madurai.

Meanwhile, following the advice of an astrologer (who claimed that Rajini Murugan will get married and be rich within three months), Rajini Murugan starts wooing his childhood sweetheart Karthika Devi (Keerthy Suresh). Karthika's father Neelakandan (Achyuth Kumar), an ardent fan of Rajinikanth, was the best friend of Malligarajan and had given Rajini Murugan his name when he was born, but fell out with Malligarajan and his family due to a misunderstanding involving Rajini Murugan and Karthika when they were children. Since then, Rajini Murugan and Karthika are not on speaking terms, and Neelakandan forbids any sort of contact between the two. Nevertheless, Rajini Murugan opens a tea stall outside Karthika's house to stay close to her and follows her day and night. The stall is later destroyed by a customer who pulls down the shop in the process of taking a banana. Later, he and Thothathree start a real estate company. A gangster "Ezhrai" Mookan (Samuthirakani), whose only work is to extort ₹100,000 from businessmen, tries to swindle the same amount from Rajini Murugan, but fails and ends up paying ₹100,000 to him.

Ayyankalai, who is fed up with Rajini Murugan's antics, decides to immediately divide his properties so that Rajini Murugan can benefit from his share of the property. He fakes his death, which forces his children and grandchildren to come to Madurai. Mookan claims that he too is a grandson of Ayyankalai (through the son of Ayyankalai's first wife) and starts demanding his share of the property. This leads to confrontation between Rajini Murugan and Mookan and their feud is soon brought before the panchayat. The panchayat declares the verdict in favour of Ayyankalai and Rajini Murugan. Mookan, accepting defeat, receives ₹100,000 from Rajini Murugan as compensation. It is then revealed that Mookan staged the whole drama to get back his ₹100,000 from Rajini Murugan. Meanwhile, Karthika accepts Rajini Murugan's love and Neelakandan also begins to approve their relationship.

In the end, Ayyankalai reveals that he does have a grandson through his first wife's son. The grandson is revealed to be none other than Bosepandi(Sivakarthikeyan) from Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam. Bosepandi refuses to accept his share of his grandfather's property, advising him and his family not to sell the property and instead convert it into a 5-star hotel and hand it over to Rajini Murugan. Ayyankalai and Rajini Murugan agree with him.

In August 2013, Tamannah opted out of the project, due to some issues.[2][5] The female lead role went to Lakshmi Menon.[6] However, she was subsequently replaced by Keerthy Suresh in 2014, considering her second Tamil film after Idhu Enna Maayam (2015). Her role was said to be a "feisty one", which included the character performing some street fights with other women.[7] Soori was selected to play Sivakarthikeyan's co-star in the film, for the second time after Varuthapadaatha Vaalibar Sangam.[8] Rajkiran was selected to play the role of Sivakarthikeyan's grandfather in the film.[9] Samuthirakani was selected to play the main antagonist in the film. The supporting role cast also included G. Gnanasambandham, Achyuth Kumar, Deepa Ramanujam and Manobala.

Reception

The Times of India, reviewed it as "An album that is sure to have more than one track feature as a chart topper."[24] Behindwoods rated the album 3 out of 5 stars, reviewing "Another mainstream treat from the VVS trio!"[25] Indiaglitz rated the album 3 out of 5 and summarised "Imman brings back the magic from VVS days, would be interesting to see the songs with the visuals if retains the treat."[26] Moviecrow rated the album 2.5 out of 5 stars, and reviewed that "Rajini Murugan soundtrack is average work from the composer given its much hype around the movie and it's far behind the enjoyable Ponram-Imman's previous work."[27]

Sify rated the album 3 out of 5, and chose "Un Mela Oru Kannu", "Aavi Parakkum", "Yennamma Ippadi Panreengalema", as their favourite picks, then stated "Rajini Murugan’ is an album where the emphasis has been given to funny lyrics and simplistic tunes. Tracks like Un Mela, Aavi Parakkum work for their uncomplicated approach while Ennama Ipdi Panreengale is going to be a mass favorite number."[28]

Marketing

The first look poster of Rajinimurugan was released on 25 April 2015, at the 6th Vijay Awards.[29][30] The official teaser of the film was released on 16 June 2015, during the audio launch of the film. The teaser received positive response from the audience.[31] A few photocard designed posters, were unveiled on 21 August 2015, for the film's promotion.[32] The official trailer of the film, was released on 4 September 2015, at midnight 12:00 a.m. on the official YouTube channel of Sony Music South.[33] The second trailer of the film was released on 31 December 2015.[34]

Delays

Rajinimurugan faced significant delays, upon its release, due to the financial problems faced by the production house. Initially, the film slated to release on 17 July 2015, coinciding with the Ramzan weekend. However, the release was postponed to avoid clash with Dhanush-starrer Maari,[35] and was later scheduled to release on 17 September 2015, coinciding with Vinayagar Chathurthi.[36] However, the financial disputes between the producers and distributors,[37] led to postpone the release of the film on 1 October 2015, which was later delayed due to the release of Vijay-starrer Puli.[38] The plans to release the film on 21 October 2015, during the Dusshera festival was also failed. Finally, the makers announced that the film will release on 4 December 2015.[39] The makers went on with the film's promotion in November 2015, however, the release was pushed further, due to the 2015 South Indian Floods.[40][41] Later, the film was scheduled to release on 14 January 2016, coinciding with the Pongal weekend, and also clashing with other releases Gethu, Kathakali and Thaarai Thappattai.[42]

Financial issues

During the production of Kamal Hassan's Uttama Villain (2015), the producers suffered losses as the Suriya-starrer Anjaan (2014), which was produced and directed by Lingusamy, bombed at the box office. Hence, in order to overcome the losses, Lingusamy desperately sold both Uttama Villain and Rajinimurugan, to Eros International. Lingusamy, also borrowed money from local distributors, to release the former. But, the release of Uttama Villain was unexpectedly stalled, due to the disputes between financiers and producers,[43] which led to a loss of ₹12 crore (US$1.4 million), and also the film's poor performance, abetting the problem, the payment owed by Eros International, was ballooned to ₹20 crore (US$2.4 million), and insisted Lingusamy, to pay the remaining balance amount of ₹20 crore to Eros.[44] Since, Lingusamy doesn't have a huge amount to settle Eros, the film faced a delayed release, says the sources.

Reception

Critical response

The Times of India, rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, stating that "The film is overlong with innumerable songs and comic scenes that could have been left at the editing table. It is also utterly unambitious, content with clearing its low bar, but this unpretentiousness is also what makes it work to an extent."[45] Behindwoods gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars stating, "Rajini Murugan is a safe bet to bank your money on if you want to watch a film with no expectation but just to spend your two and a half hours laughing."[46] The Guardian rated it 3 out of 5 stars, saying, "This long-gestating slice of fun about the successes of the world’s least ambitious individual is a likable, irreverent ride".[47] The Hindu wrote that "Rajini Murugan makes it amply evident that Sivakarthikeyan, as he has done earlier in his career, is quite capable of making a below-average script seem average, sometimes, above-average even. Perhaps that’s why dozens of little stars come together to form the title."[48]

Sify rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, stating that "Rajini Murugan is a tailor made festival film, which is sure to enthrall and entertain the masses. The film's director Ponram has packaged the film in such a way that audiences will leave the movie hall with a big smile and forget all their worries. Thanks to the brilliant chemistry between the comedy-duo Sivakarthikeyan and Soori, the film is a laugh riot which holds no pretensions."[49] S. Sarswathi from Rediff.com rated 2.5 out of 5 stars, and reviewed "Director Ponram’s Rajini Murugan has no real plot, nor any remarkable characters or poignant moments but good music, vibrant visuals and spontaneity and charm of its lead actor makes it a fun watch".[50] Bollywoodlife rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, and stated that "While the film has its faults, the film is a decent family entertainer with some clean hilarious comedy. Watch it purely for Sivakarthikeyan and Soori's antics and you will leave the theatre with a smile on your face!"[51] Indiaglitz rated the movie 2.5/5 stating, "An entertainer that can be watched mainly for Sivakarthikeyan and Soori."[52] Studioflicks rated the film 2.75 out of 5, stating "Rajini Murugan is a neat entertainer for family audiences, where they can come relaxed and enjoy show grabbing their favourite piece of snacks."[53]

In contrast, Gauthaman Baskaran for the Hindustan Times, rated 1 out of 5 stars, and reviewed it as "Hackneyed plotlines, silly jokes and endless song-and-dance--that is much of Tamil film industry’s lot. Sadly, Rajini Murugan falls in that lot. A big bore."[54] The Indian Express reviewed it as "Even with its predictable storyline, Sivakarthikeyan makes the film work, and only he can save a film like this."[55] Silverscreen reviewed the film as "Rajini Murugan is an assembly line. Formerly managed by M Rajesh, now run by Ponram. The saving grace might have been a competent antagonist. But, no. It’s almost an insult that one of our best actors today – Samuthirakani – is reduced to a joke. Rajini Murugan gives us a hero who seems to be a parody, and a spineless jokey riff for a villain."[56]

Box office

The film collected ₹4.5 crores on the first day, and ₹15 crores on the first weekend, following by ₹24 crores on the first week. The film grossed ₹43 crores in India, while it collected ₹51 crores worldwide, and became a commercial success.[1]
