But her make up is too over the top at times and comes as a mismatch for her character. There is no overt romance and the script doesn't waver from its intention. Prayaga lends support in her minimal role. That craftiness of a politician is brought out well. Dileep - Kalabhavan Shajon team once again brings in the laughs. There is also humour thrown in here and there. That engaging quality of many a Sachi script is evident in the movie. The way the script progresses is very convincing. 'Ramaleela' can be said to be of a political thriller mould. Basically, the reasons for his decision to shift party and what he does for that forms the crux of the story. He goes awol with the help of an ex-communist played by Renji Panikar and his daughter played by Prayaga Martin. With Communist party head being shot at during an election campaigning all eyes are pointed at Raman. At home the mother son relationship reaches a head one day and Ramanunni vows to undo the damage.Īt the Congress camp we have Udayabhanu played by Siddique and Kalabhavan Shajon plays a partyman assigned to teach Raman the ways of the party.

His party head played by Vijayaraghavan and even his mother flays the decision. With communism running in the family it comes as a major surprise when Raman shifts party to join Congress. Radhika Sarathkumar plays Dileep's mother. The place is Kannur and its bloody politics is the backdrop. The 'tight' protection part was a laugh in the right place. If at all the justice part seems way too much in an age where we preach tolerance and diversity, as the script writer Sachi would say, the character demands it and the character has been etched out so well.Īs the movie begins Ramanunni played by Dileep is seen under threat and issued a gun for self protection. But not the typical Dileep in his comic avatar. As a movie is 'Ramaleela' a good watch? It certainly is. But the jail sequences, police treatment et al seems very uncanny. If anybody was wondering if the movie (from its various teasers and trailers) had any semblance to Dileep's current life or situation, there is nothing there. But what lifts the movie out of a mere retribution line is Ramanunni's declaration that his intention is a cleansing of sorts - of stopping man from being a threat to man himself.

'Ramaleela' is justice meted out in the real old testament fashion - 'an eye for an eye.'.
