Romans Malayalam Movie Review:
It is the story of
two thieves who escape from a train while they are being transported to
jail. They reach a village lies between
Tamil Nadu and Kerala. There, they disguise themselves as two priests who have
been ordained from Rome. The story takes a same old twist there and the rest is
somewhat predictable.
Biju Menon and Kunchacko Boban, who are the leading cast,
have done a commendable job, but failed to raise a poor script from the pits.
The pair has good chemistry on the screen. But the pretty heroine is just like
a piece of cucumber on the dish, as in many other movies. She, Niveda Thomas,
doesn’t have much to do in the plot. Her character is easily forgettable.
Romans is far better than Boban Samuel’s debut movie,
Jayasurya starrer Janapriyan. But not something holds the spectator. The pair which worked well in
Sugeeth’s Ordinary, has a capability to
pull the audience to box-office. Especially Biju Menon has an identity of a
promising versatile actor. That’s why Romans is getting mixed responses. People
come to watch, what their favourite stars does in this new avatar. But the climax is commendable. It really tries to poke the blind beliefs of human beings. People always need somebody to adorn as god. Even if it is a thief or murderer, they don't care. Then why there is a case against Biju Menon & Kunchacko Boban? People are not sensible as we think. That's it.
Even though Romans is a mix of pointless humour, age old
adventures, clichéd story line and a predictable flow, we will get some moments of fun. When comes to the box-office verdict, Romans
fall in to the category of an average movie. You can watch it once for Biju Menon & Kunchacko Boban.
