Storyline:

Siddharth is a helpful youngster and adopted son of Ashok, a kind-hearted corporate business magnate. He leads a happy life in Melbourne, Australia taking care of his father’s business and fighting for his native country’s pride. Siddharth meets and falls for Nandini, who is a salsa instructor and Ashok’s friend Jagadeesh’s daughter. Siddharth’s life takes a tragic turn as he loses his whole family in a flight crash and returns to India to his orphanage headed by Krishna, who now runs an old-age home.

Through Jagadeesh, Siddharth discovers that Ashok was framed for the deaths of infant children due to the polio scheme introduced by Ashok for the poor people, where he decides to prove Ashok’s innocence. He also looks after the old people in an old age home, like their son, and solves all their problems, while also taking care of the children, and purchasing medicines for the children affected by the polio scheme. One day, Siddharth comes across Vishwa Joshi in the hospital, who also stays at the old-age home. Joshi reveals that the polio scheme was ruined due to the machinations created by his son Jagannath, who is the present health minister of Karnataka.

Joshi wants to expose the illegal acts done by Jagannath and is hiding in the old-age home for the right time to expose him. Siddharth also supports Vishwa Joshi and makes Jagannath hand over the case to CBI for further investigation in an interview. Jagannath tries to ruin their plans where he also gets the old age home and his father attacked by his henchmen. However, Jagannath has a change of heart when he saves his father and surrenders himself to the police and all the old people reunite with their children, after realizing their mistakes from Siddharth, who gave a speech at a news broadcast.-Wikipedia

About Raajakumara Movie:

Raajakumara is a Kannada action drama film written and directed by Santhosh Ananddram and produced by Vijay Kiragandur under Hombale Films. It stars Puneeth Rajkumar and Priya Anand. R. Sarathkumar, Ananth Nag, Prakash Raj, Chikkanna, Sadhu Kokila, Achyuth Kumar, and Avinash play supporting roles. The film’s music album was composed by V. Harikrishna.

In March 2016, it was reported that Director Santhosh Ananddram and Puneeth Rajkumar would work together for the first time together. V. Harikrishna was selected to compose the music for this film.

The film was highly expected due to its marketing. “Rajakumara is a different subject that portrays two different stories & the two stories are bridged between Appu’s character”, said Santhosh. Pre-production work, location hunt, and casting finalization required almost a year.

Priya Anand was roped to play the lead actress role which marked her debut in Kannada cinema, in collaboration with Puneeth Rajkumar.

The film went on the floors on 22 April 2016. The first schedule took place in Australia in various parts like Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne after which the crew did the rest of the shoot in Bengaluru, Chennai, Mysuru, Goa, Varanasi, and later in Malaysia.

The makers of his upcoming film, Raajakumara released the first look of the film on 17 March — to coincide with the actor’s 41st birthday.

Raajakumara was released on 24 March 2017 and received positive reviews from critics where the film went to become the sixth highest-grossing Kannada film at the time of its release until K.G.F: Chapter 1 surpassed it.

The film became the first Kannada movie to complete 6000 shows in multiplex within six weeks of its release and also completed 7577 shows in multiplex within 87 days.

The film had a theatrical run of more than 100 days in 45–50 centers across Karnataka and also grossed ₹75 crore (US$9.4 million) worldwide.
