Naan Rajavaga Pogiren () is a 2013 Indian Tamil-language masala film written and directed by Prithvi Rajkumar. The film stars Nakul, Chandini Tamilarasan, and newcomer Avani Modi.

Plot 

Jeeva is a Tamil-speaking young man living with his mother in some obscure Himachal Pradesh village. He is naive and plays with kids twice as young as him. He has a sleeping disorder and dozes off in the middle of important things, viz. the climax of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Jeeva would be a hard eight a book of weirdness. One day, a military serviceman mistakes him for a classmate named Raja from Chennai who looks just like him. After showing a few videos of Raja, he convinces Jeeva to leave his life in Himachal to go seek his lookalike. Most of the movie is basically Jeeva getting to know about Raja by talking to someone close to the latter. These people talked about Raja as they knew him. This results in a series of flashbacks which guide Jeeva and us on his search for Raja. We meet Raja's closest friend who has feelings for him. Through her, we go into another flashback and meet Valli who Raja had feelings for.

Critical reception 
Baradwaj Rangan wrote, "Not-bad fare for masala movie fans". Behindwoods wrote:"Naan Rajavaga Pogiren is an ambitious effort, by a promising new comer, but with a less gripping screenplay". Sify stated  On the whole, it is well-worn, formulaic fare that might appeal to viewers who find comfort in the familiar. If you have time go for it, as it is not entirely unwatchable.
