Description: Parris Jayaraj, a 2021 Telugu film, tells a story filled with humor, family conflicts, and romantic entanglements. The plot revolves around Jeyaraj, a small-time singer, who turns to alcohol after a heartbreak. He meets and falls in love with Divya, who herself is recovering from a failed relationship. However, their love story faces challenges due to interference from their families, particularly their fathers. Adding to the complications, Divya’s ex-boyfriend reappears, seeking to mend their past. The question remains: will Jeyaraj and Divya overcome these obstacles and stay together?
The film’s strength lies in its comedic moments, especially in the second half, though the first half struggles with some ineffective humor despite the lead actor Santhanam’s efforts. The character of Jeyaraj’s father, played by Prudhvi Raj, adds complexity and charm to the narrative. While the central romance lacks originality, the supporting characters, including Motta Rajendran and Tiger Thangadurai, provide intermittent laughs. The dialogues are a mix of witty one-liners and some forced humor.
Despite the familiar storyline and predictable family confusions, engaging performances from the cast make the movie watchable. The music by Santhosh Narayanan offers a refreshing departure from typical duet songs, though the potential of Jeyaraj’s love for gaana music remains unexplored. Sadly, the heroine’s character fails to leave a lasting impression. Overall, Parris Jayaraj is a lighthearted comedy that entertains with its humor and performances, though it doesn’t break new ground in storytelling.
