Just came back after watching Ramaleela. Such a beautifully crafted film that's been made in a genre that's very tough to handle for any film maker/writer.
Arun Gopy, the director, has arrived and he has arrived like a master. Not even in a single frame he ll make u feel that this movie is done by a debutant director. I have always been a fan of Sachi ettan as a writer, but of all the films he has written so far, this one is my fav. Shaji Ettan has shot the film in such expanse and the magician Gopi Sunder's back ground score holds the film tight even in parts where it could have lost the grip.
Dileep ettan has portrayed Ramanunni with such a subtle performance with so much of control. After Drishyam, Shajon chettan once again bowled me over with his performance. Truly, this man is an asset to our industry. The rest of the cast including Vijayaraghavan uncle, Radhika ma'am, Prayaga and all the others have done total justice to their respective roles.
Ramaleela is going to be the biggest surprise this year would witness. All praises to Tomichan Mulakupadam to have the guts to release this film at this point of time.
Cinema is magic. It's beyond all of us.. Even beyond the abilities of those who create it. Period!!
Ranjith Sankar

Ramaleela - A stellar and confident directorial debut by Arun Gopy (who reminded me of Joshiy Sir when he is in fantastic form) with solid and strong screenplay & dialogues by Sachy, a fantastic cast with top notch performances and great work from the technical departments.
