Ramachandra Boss and Co Review & Analysis

Gist of the Story

The movie is based on the robbery that Ramachandra Boss planned to steal a priceless painting from a billionaire psychopath in the United Arab Emirates.

Detailed Plot

The film centers around a meticulously planned heist orchestrated by a character named Ramachandra Boss, portrayed by Nivin Pauly. Through a reliable contact in Kerala, Boss acquires crucial intelligence and assembles a team of skilled individuals to execute the operation. Their primary objective is to pilfer a highly coveted painting from the notorious millionaire Amar (Munish) in the United Arab Emirates. The movie initially acquaints us with these individuals, revealing their motivations for joining forces with Ramachandra Boss and his team. Subsequently, the narrative follows their arduous journey to successfully accomplish the mission. The personal stakes driving the leader’s pursuit of the heist foster a profound camaraderie among the diverse group. Nevertheless, they find themselves confronted with a moral quandary: should they adhere to the perilous plan, fully aware that it could potentially cost them their lives?

Artistes’ Performances

Nivin makes a real attempt to play the unintentionally humorous Boss, the boss who consistently gets things wrong, especially following his unrepentant portrayal as a rogue of a guy in Thuramukham. It is unclear why Mamitha Baiju and Aarsha Chandini Baiju agreed to work in the movie when their roles lack important moments or speech, giving them just minimal screen time, even though Vinay Forrt performs in his role despite the mediocre scripting of the character. As the gang’s veteran, Jaffar Idukki handled the humour and sentiments with finesse.

Direction / Technical Side

The concept is not very innovative because it combines all the elements of existing heist films. Haneef rapidly introduces each member of Ramachandra Boss’s eclectic team in the first half of the film, doing it with fun. It appears that the team’s attempt to steal an artwork in the movie’s second half was inspired by scenes from a number of other films. It lacked pace and didn’t deliver any brilliant shocks, which are essential elements of films in this genre. It’s kind of strange to see these guys dance and enjoy themselves when their families are suffering since the humour, the pathos, and the robbery elements never mesh well together. The literary effort to make the theft seem interesting and credible is quite little. In fact, they are putting more effort into passing humour to try to hide these shortcomings.ry humour, as if to hide these shortcomings.

Ramachandra Boss and Co. is an ambitious endeavor by director Haneef Adeni, but unfortunately, it falls short of expectations. However, despite the intriguing premise, the execution lacks finesse, leaving the audience somewhat disappointed. One of the saving graces of the film is the breathtaking cinematography by Vishnu Thandassery. His visual prowess manages to captivate viewers, even during the film’s weakest moments. Thandassery’s skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to each scene, elevating the overall visual experience and making it one of the few redeeming qualities of Ramachandra Boss and Co. Unfortunately, the flaws in the film’s script and direction overshadow the impressive visuals. The narrative seems to lack focus and coherence, often venturing into unnecessary subplots that only serve to confuse the audience. The pacing also suffers, with certain sequences feeling unnecessarily dragged out while others feel rushed, resulting in an uneven flow throughout the film.

Verdict;

Overall, Ramachandra Boss and Co. is a film that had the potential to be a captivating cinematic experience but falls short due to a lack of cohesive storytelling and effective direction. While the stunning cinematography and talented cast offer glimpses of what could have been, they are ultimately overshadowed by the film’s narrative shortcomings.
