Ramabanam Movie Review: An outdated commercial potboiler that fails to entertain – TOI Etimes
Story: Vicky (Gopichand) returns residence 14 years after he ran away as a result of a disagreement along with his brother Rajaram (Jagapathi Babu). Nevertheless it looks like each the brothers have issues to cover from one another.
Overview: Director Sriwass and Gopichand staff up for the third time after Lakshyam and Loukyam. As an alternative of being the nice ol’ thali it guarantees to be, Ramabanam depends on cliche tropes to replenish time.
Vicky (Gopichand) is a hot-headed teenager who runs away from residence as a baby. He believes in utilizing his fists unsparingly whereas his brother Rajaram (Jagapathi Babu) believes in following the regulation and main an moral life. Vicky rises in ranks as a gangster in Kolkata. When he falls for an influencer referred to as Bhairavi (Dimple Hayathi) her household insists on assembly his of us earlier than they marry. The one problem? Vicky has develop into the sort of man his brother abhors. He goes again residence for the brother’s blessings and retains the reality from him. Nevertheless it appears like his brother may need just a few secrets and techniques of his personal to maintain.
Whereas all this appears like another good masala movie, Ramabanam falls wanting making a mark. Other than the story of two brothers, the movie additionally delves on the subject of natural meals vs processed. All that does is give the baddies (Tarun Raj Arora, Nassar) an opportunity to raise Vicky. The differing ideologies lead to precisely two good scenes ft. Vicky and Rajaram.
Ramabanam additionally depends on problematic tropes. An effeminate carnatic music trainer Savitri (Vennela Kishore) is used because the brunt of homophobic jokes. Filmmakers must cease being so insensitive sooner or later. There is a monitor involving a damaged engagement with cash concerned that is so problematic – we do not even know the place to start.
Each couple of minutes there is a random problem that is solved by Vicky inside no time, by no means letting us spend money on the characters. All his pals Ajju and Vijju (Satya and Getup Srinu) get to do is run round at any time when there is a disaster. Shakalaka Shankar is slapped round in lieu of jokes. The movie would not care about Vicky and Bhairavi’s love story, she’s principally simply round for the duets.
Gopichand can play the character in his sleep and he pulls it off effectively. Jagapathi Babu and Khushbu lend their roles some gravitas, bringing dignity to the proceedings. Dimple is lovable however we want she had extra to do. The remainder of the actors fare effectively. Mickey J Meyer’s music, barring one music, is apparent okay and Vetri Palanisamy’s cinematography aids the movie effectively.
Ramabanam’s largest flaw must be that it has nothing new to supply, and what it does supply is apparent boring, making it wasted potential.
