Fast Facts about 'Rajyam':

Vijayakanth's action films ensure that at least the capital invested is retrieved. But
"Rajyam"? Truly, this is a letdown.
It's the usual story of fighting injustice. But, for a change, he runs a security service. The audience's eyes darken due to continuous exposure to Vijayakanth's association's flag. He gets the capital punishment for the Goversor's son. That gets him marked for death. Towards the end, he does a high jump over several issues of logics and finally, succeeds. The only one who sustains the film till the very end is Vijayakanth himself. Speaks his dialogues without flinching, sings, dances. Looks extremely imposing in the fight sequences. 
"Pale & Lovely" Priyanka Trivedi and Shamitha Shetty have greatly assisted in the song sequences. Though bolt are mannequines when it comes to acting, Priyanka does manage to move her neck once in a while.
The Governor role is slightly surprising. The director has completely missed the point that the position isn't all that vulnerable to the whims and fancies of the elected representatives. Vadivelu is one of the consoling points of the film. The "5 kg. Rice and Rs.1000" dig at the Family Manning campaign on TV was superb. Bharadwaj's music is another minus of the film. But, cinematography had been working as hard as Vijayakanth did. Manojkumar should have worked harder with the screenplay. Politically influenced dialogues and fight sequences don't alone satisfy a viewer. Its a shock that he doesn't know this. Sorry, Vijayakanth.
