The movie “Ramabanam” tells the story of Vicky (played by Gopichand), who leaves his hometown after a conflict with his brother Rajaram (played by Jagapathi Babu) in childhood. In Kolkata, Vicky becomes a gangster and falls in love with Bhairavi (played by Dimple Hayathi). When Vicky returns to his hometown, he discovers that his brother is being threatened by GK (played by Tarun Arora). The movie explores the reasons for the rift between GK and Rajaram, and how Vicky gets involved in the conflict.
Gopichand’s performance is impressive, particularly in the action sequences and song sequences where he looks stylish. Jagapathi Babu has a well-written character and delivers a powerful performance, overshadowing Gopichand in emotional scenes. Dimple Hayathi and Khushboo have limited screen time but give their best.
The movie has some successful comedy scenes, thanks to Get-up Srinu, Satya, Vennela Kishore, and Ali, who provide impeccable comic timing. The emotional scenes, interval sequence, punch dialogues, and songs are also enjoyable.
However, the movie’s story is not new, and there are some irrelevant characters, such as Kushita, who do not contribute much to the plot. Some scenes feel outdated, and the movie fails to establish the villain’s character, resulting in boring face-off scenes.
Sriwass’s direction is good, but a more engaging story could have been written. Madhusudhan Padamati and Abburi Ravi’s dialogues are impressive and cater well to mass audiences. The cinematography and music are satisfactory, and the production values are high.
Overall, “Ramabanam” is a regular commercial movie with no significant new elements. The action scenes, Gopichand’s performance, and some comedy scenes are the movie’s only highlights. The outdated story may disappoint some viewers, so it’s best to keep expectations low before watching.
