Film: "Desingu Raja"; Cast: Vimal, Bindu Madhavi, Soori, Singampuli, Ravi Mariya, Naren, Vinu Chakravarthy and Vadivukkarasi; Director: Ezhil; Rating: *1/2
Rural potboilers in Tamil cinema are usually about a love story or rivalry between two villages. Not surprisingly, "Desingu Raja" merges both the common themes into a story, which partially entertains, but otherwise is a wasted effort.
