Chennai-Toronto express

Review Raja is a Canadian enthusiast whose quirky video reviews of Tamil films have made him quite an online sensation.

Apart from the fact that he works in an IT company, there is nothing remotely Tamil about this young man. The 24-year-old Canadian, who looks like onesixth of a boy band, tries hard to make up for it though. Every now and then he tosses a cigarette into his mouth, rubs his neck with a chequered kerchief or grows a moustache that meets his stubble. This Toronto-based business analyst has even had marriage proposals flung his way by Chennai girls who do not know his real name. For them, his wannabe-Tamil actor alter-ego, 'Review Raja', is marriage material enough.

For about a year now Review Raja (who refuses to divulge his real name) has been posting video reviews of Tamil movies, in English.
