Ramani Kalyanam is the latest Telugu film starring Surya Vashistta and Deepshikha Chandran in the lead roles. Directed by Vijay Adireddy, the film hit the big screens today. Here’s our review to find out how it fares.
Story:
Sanjana (Deepshikha Chandran) loses her eyesight in a car accident during her childhood. Meanwhile, Raj (Surya Vashistta), who dreams of playing cricket at the national level, loses his legs in a tragic incident just after getting selected. How do these two fall in love, and how does their relationship evolve? What is the other medical condition Raj suffers from? Did the two eventually get married or not? And what is the shocking truth Sanjana discovers toward the end? The rest of the film revolves around these questions.
Plus Points:
The two young lead actors deliver decent performances in the film. As the story progresses, there is visible improvement in both of their performances. Deepshikha Chandran looks beautiful on screen and carries her role well throughout the film. Surya Vashistta also performs well in a challenging role and maintains a decent screen presence.
Srinivasa Reddy, Shyamala, and the rest of the supporting cast perform well within the scope of their roles. Compared to the emotional portions earlier in the film, the final few minutes are handled in a better manner. A couple of twists planned toward the end also work reasonably well.
Another major highlight of the film is its music. The songs have been composed very well, and the credit clearly goes to the music director for enhancing the overall experience.
Minus Points:
With two differently abled lead characters at its core, the film had good scope for a much stronger emotional narrative that could have kept audiences emotionally invested throughout. However, that aspect is largely missing here. Though the makers designed a love story between the lead pair, the emotional connection between them does not come across effectively.
Except for the climax portion, the film hardly offers emotionally moving moments. Some dialogues delivered by the hero in the first half, along with a few illogical scenes, end up feeling silly. The basic storyline also gives shades of the film Anand.
Apart from that, the narrative remains predictable for the most part. Many scenes can easily be guessed by the audience within the first few minutes, and the film continues in a similar fashion. Had the love track between the lead pair been written with stronger emotions, the chemistry between them would have worked much better.
The second half also feels stretched in several places. A scene involving the heroine driving a car comes across as unnatural. Such moments turn out to be disappointing factors in the film.
Technical Aspects:
The production values in the film are fine. Suraj S. Kurup’s music turns out to be one of the biggest strengths of the film. All the songs composed by him are impressive and blend well with the narrative. Aravind Theerthakovel’s cinematography is adequate, while Ravi Teja Girijala’s editing is passable.
Coming to director Vijay Adireddy, he handled the casting and characterisation of the lead roles fairly well. However, the drama surrounding those characters needed to be much stronger. Except for the climax portion, the rest of the narrative feels flat. The film neither delivers strong emotions nor presents the love story in a refreshing manner. Considering the potential of the premise, his work could have been much better.
Verdict:
On the whole, Ramani Kalyanam is a routine drama that has a few passable elements in the form of its music and lead performances, but the film largely suffers from a flat and predictable narrative. Despite having a premise with emotional potential, the director fails to explore it in an engaging manner and instead settles for a simplistic treatment. Barring a few scenes towards the end, the film struggles to leave an impact.
