The makers of the film have already released the official trailer and it has got a good response from the audience. 

STORY 

Pokkiri Raja is a It is a Tamil comedy, fantasy and romance oriented film. Jiiva and Hansika play IT professionals. Sibi plays a youngster who does nothing in particular. The story primarily revolves around these three characters.

Jiiva suffers from uncontrollably excessive yawning and this land him in trouble at the workplace. When his yawning becomes contagious, that becomes the final nail in the coffin for his professional life. However, a sudden turn of contrived events makes Jiiva and Sibiraj, rivals. 

Jiiva loves Hansika and Hansika loves back Jiiva too. But troubles fall into place with Sibiraj showing up on screen. He pokes his nose and creates trouble. As always things mess up and how the hero comes out of the mess is shown in a commercial manner.  

PERFORMANCE 

Jiiva and Hansika have played their roles quite different and interestingly, their performance is well comparing to their previous movies.  Jiiva churns out a good performance but his character needed more vigor and verve to leave the audience in splits.

Hansika, unlike many purposeless roles, has something to do here as far as the story is concerned. Sibi as usual has given his best. Manobala Mahadevan and Yogi Babu etc has given amazing supporting role performance.

The comedy factor in the film works only to an extent and the interesting fantasy element is not explored enough to keep the narration entertaining. The movie has its moments and laughs here and there.

Jiiva and Sibiraj have given their best, but still a sloppy screenplay spoils the show. Imman’s songs are average and nothing worked in favor of the movie really.
