Praveen Kumar G

Rajakili (2024) rolls in with a story that hits close to home for anyone who’s ever seen a family get torn apart by secrets, old grudges, and more than a little bit of greed. Praveen Kumar G steps in as the director, and you can feel he’s not just phoning it in—there’s this raw, almost uncomfortable energy running through the whole thing. The movie plunges you right into the mess: a rural village, where everyone knows everyone and nobody minds their own business. The central drama kicks off after the patriarch of the family dies, and suddenly every relative comes crawling out of the woodwork, desperate for their slice of the inheritance pie. What’s wild is how quickly things go from awkward family dinners to full-blown chaos. There’s this mix of heartbreak and dark humor, like when a cousin tries to play peacemaker, only to make things ten times worse. The script digs into jealousy, betrayal, and that weird loyalty that only comes from shared blood. You get these real moments—awkward stares, mumbled apologies, angry outbursts—that make it feel less like a movie and more like you’re eavesdropping on a real family meltdown. The backdrop, with its dusty roads and old-school houses, just adds to the whole suffocating vibe. Rajakili isn’t afraid to show people at their worst, but there’s a strange hope running underneath all the mess. By the end, you’re left thinking about forgiveness, and whether any family ever really gets it all figured out.
