Raghuvinte Swantham Rasiya Review

Director Vinayan is always in the news for controversial feuds that he has with the rest of the Malayalam film industry. Though most actors have refused to work with the director for some time now, he has been actively making films in quick succession. Yakshiyum Njaanum, his last film, managed to do decently at the box office. Now, the director is back with a romantic thriller titled "Raghuvinte Swantham Rasiya".
"Raghuvinte Swantham Rasiya" includes all the customary ingredients that make up in a Vinayan film.
The thread plots ,a mentally challenged girl is found in the street and sometime later she is taken to the hospital by her father (played by Sphadikam George) where she is given the mandatory shock treatment. The dad confirms that it is indeed his daughter Rasiya (Meghna Raj), after several days of treatment and tests! Now the flashback begins. Rasiya belongs to a wealthy Muslim household and she is the granddaughter of a highly idealistic Bapu Musaliar (Chaaru Haasan). She falls in love with a poor neighbour Raghu (Murali Krishnan), who is the grandson of a freedom fighter, Kuttappan Bhagavathar (Thilakan). The love birds are separated by Rasiya’s dad, who wants him to find a job. And to cut this silly story short, he becomes a terrorist, in a matter of some months..
New face Murali Krishna is surprisingly at ease in his debut role, and does a neat job of playing Raghu. Meghna is just ok performance. Gautam did a notable acting. Veteran actor Thilakan is back to bigscreens, and Sphadikam George as well.
