The King and Queen) is a 2013 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy drama film directed by Atlee in his directorial debut.

Produced by AR Murugadoss, the film stars Arya, Jai, Nayanthara and Nazriya Nazim, while Sathyaraj, Santhanam, Sathyan appear in supporting roles.

After the marriage, they live together as strangers in their apartment, where the neighbours are upset with John, who comes home drunk every night, which he does deliberately to annoy Regina, who later applies for a transfer to Australia.

Past: During college, Regina falls in love with Surya Muthuraman, who works in the call centre of a mobile company.

As he leaves, Surya glances at the ring in his hand, which was gifted to him by Regina, showing that he will always live with the memories of their relationship and never marry another girl.

In early 2012, Atlee, an assistant director to Shankar, narrated his script to Rama Narayanan, who agreed to finance the film.

[9] Atlee had initially selected Sivakarthikeyan to portray a role in the film, but subsequently chose Jai to appear as Nayanthara's love interest in a flashback segment.

[11] Priya Anand was considered another leading role, but the opportunity was later offered to Nazriya Nazim, who had made her debut with Neram (2013) in Tamil films.

[13] The film has music by G. V. Prakash Kumar, art direction by T. Muthuraj and cinematography by debutant George C. Williams, a former associate of Nirav Shah.

[17] The sequence involving Jai and Nayanthara were canned first and Arya joined the team after completing his work on Irandaam Ulagam.

[6] Rediff rated it 3/5 and stated, "Debutant director Atlee's 'Raja Rani' is a simple refreshing tale about how to cope with life, when we lose someone we love.

"[35] Behindwoods rated it 3/5 and stated "The movie's running time is 2 hours 45 minutes and there are moments in the second half leading to the finale which sag.

[37] Sudhish Kamath of The Hindu cited "Atlee's promising debut Raja Rani merits a watch in spite of its fundamentally flawed structure".

[19] IndiaGlitz said, "One look at the movie and there might be suspicions of Atlee as a debutant, he gives away a clean family entertainer with no hoopla's.

"[38] In contrast, Gautaman Bhaskaran of Hindustan Times rated it 2 stars and said, "At a little over 150 minutes, Raja Rani is a bumpy ride with potholes of songs, with characters who are nothing better than caricatures and with a romance that hardly engages".

[39] Sify too gave an unfavourable review stating, "Debutant director Atlee's highly hyped Raja Rani starts off promisingly and keeps us engaged in the first half.

But post-interval it loses steam, and turns out to be a cheesy, emotionally manipulative drama with a predictable long drawn out climax that goes on and on for 35 minutes".

[47] The film was remade in Sinhala and was released on 18 January 2024 in Sri Lanka as Sihinayaki Adare starring Hemal Ranasinghe and Pooja Umashankar.

In the film, Angel (Nayanthara) refuses to marry John (Abi Saravanan) and instead falls for Michael (Vijay).
