Director Nirmal Sahadev's Malayalam film Ranam, featuring Prithviraj Sukumaran, Rahman and Isha Talwar in the lead roles, has received positive reviews from the audience in the early shows.
Ranam, also known as Detroit Crossing, is a crime drama, which is high on action quotient. Director Nirmal Sahadev has written story, screenplay and dialogues for the film, which has been produced by Anand Payannur, Rani and Lawson Biju under the banners Yes Cinema Production and Lawson Entertainment. It has received a U/A certificate and its runtime is 2.16 hours.
Ranam movie story: Set in Detroit, the film is about wars between the gangs that depend on a code of silence. Aadhi (Prithviraj Sukumaran) is a mysterious getaway driver, who is trapped in a life of crime. He lives with this code of conduct and protects his friend Bhaskar (Nandhu). Hee meets someone who can potentially change his entire world. How he struggles for redemption forms the crux of the story.
Performances: Hero Prithviraj Sukumaran and antagonist Rahman have delivered brilliant performances, which are the highlights of Ranam. Isha Talwar lacks enough screen presence, but she tries to steal the show with her acting. Nandhu, Mathew Arun, Celine Joseph, Ashwin Kumar, Shyamaprasad and others have also done justice to their roles, says the audience.
Technical: Ranam has brilliant production values and music, picturisation, selection of locales, choreography of action and stunts and dialogues are the attractions on the technical front, add the viewers.

Loved #Ranam. A solid, engaging thriller with a brilliant immersive soundscape and breathtaking visual setting. Fantastic debut by Nirmal Sahadev. @PrithviOfficial is kickass, along with a superb Rahman, Ashwin Kumar, Nandu Chettan and a new actor playing the cop.

Madridista DQ @Dqmadridista
#Ranam Liked it.Vareity Attempt BGM & SONGS Decent enough casting & performance Slow paced but didn't felt any lag Technically brilliant but the story could have been better or strong. It's an emotional drama so the entertainment factor is missing. Rating : 3.25/5

#Ranam #NirmalSahadev made Ranam to express, Not to impress. Ranam is an imotional crime drama and dont expect an action packed crime thriller. DOP , editing and BGM was classy. People who approach theaters solely for entertainment will be disappointed. #amarreview 3.5/5

#Ranam Is strickly Avg-Blw avg one, poor story line and execution. Direction also weak. Prithvi as usually good with his looks, expected more Rahman and ashwin kumar.isha talwar worst choice. Overall dissapointed
Siva mohan @siva4mena
#Ranam detroit city and the sets are worth a watch but that isn't enough to be a memorable gangster thriller experience... Though missing several thriller movie elements like pace, dub in certain scenes, decent stories etc.. The visuals and bgm were top notch.. Rating-2.5/5

#Ranam is one of those movies that Malayalam cinema must remember, same old story for sure. The way it's made? It's just brilliant. Great sound. Amazing music and @PrithviOfficial owned the show! #IshaTalwar has also proved her metal as an actress and not an eye candy for once.

RANAM 1st Half Direction & Camera Song & Bgm Slow Pace With Electrifying Scenes. Glimpse Of Good Old Action Hero. Interval Scene So Far... So Good... Waiting For Second Half #Ranam @PrithviOfficial @Poffactio

Stylish making, kickass bgm! So far so good. #Ranam Interval
Forum Keralam (FK) @Forumkeralam1
#Ranam Interval A decent fare so far with good perfos from the lead actors. Terrific BGMs right from the go and Dop The pace of the movie might not cater to all. All rests on how the second half will turn out to be. Fingers crossed #Ranam Kind of an all Style but less of a substance movie. Second half didn't live upto the expectations and the build up. Climax was good but felt the pace was too slow for ones liking On the whole Ranam ends up as an Average Outing. Good Perfos from the lead actors. Top class BGM Dop and super rich production values are the plus. Kudos to Nirmal for the making wish he had a better script to support him Might suit for the multi audiences. Have to wait and see how others accept this one. #Ranam Have to give it to @PrithviOfficial for his vision for experimenting with the way his films are made and the effort that goes behind it A decent to good script to go along with it and we will be in for a treat sooner than later #Ranam
Friday Matinee @VRFridayMatinee
#Ranam - A cliche storyline has been executed here without that much of impact.Music ,DOP and Fights stands out but Director has failed in establishing an imoression for atleast one character.Overall,an Average fare
JEES SEBASTIAN @jeeskonnackal
Nothing more to say, dear @PrithviOfficial , our RAJU yettan you had the key role in this success. And of course director #Nirmal the show was in your hand and @actorrahman as always hats off for your performance. #Jakes_Bejoy I loved your the title song made by you team #Ranam✌

#ranam interval Prithvi shines in stylish avatar isha talwar play a mature role and rahman as badie is good Good screenplay Good 1st half✌..it has all elements of action love Waiting for second half. #ranam Second half starts slowly with high on emotions and then came into track..climax portions between rahman and prithvi was good..ok climax Good debut for nirmal Isha talwar role is good Verdict. A good watchable movie but couldn't live upto expectations..
