CID Ramachandran Retd SI

I watched CID Ramachandran Retd. SI on Manorama Max today. The film follows the story of a retired policeman with 33 years of meritorious service, who, unable to step away from his field even after retirement, starts a detective agency. The movie revolves around one of the investigation cases he takes up.

Kalabhavan Shajon plays the title character, and the character is brilliantly portrayed as one of the standout characters in the film. Shajon gives a full-fledged performance, while the supporting cast, including Anumol, Baiju, Sudhir Karamana, Premkumar, Shankar Mahadevan, Aziz Nedumangad, and Pauly Wilson, along with several new faces, contribute well to the story. I was also thrilled to see my dear friend Shijin Sivankutty in the film-I'm so happy for him, and I hope he gets more great roles!

While the film shapes up as a solid investigation thriller, I felt the screenplay could have been tighter. There are elements that feel unnecessary, such as the subplot involving the hero's daughter's love story, which could have been trimmed. The editing, too, could have been a bit more crisp. However, these issues don't detract significantly from the overall experience.

It's unfortunate that this movie, which hit theaters earlier this year, didn't get the success it deserved. It seems the promotion was lacking.

Nevertheless, the movie is now streaming on Manorama Max, and I recommend giving it a watch. I'll definitely head to the theater for the next Sanoop Sathian-directed film!

CID Ramachandran Retd SI does a better job showcasing the sadness of a retired cop trying to cope with his sudden plain life than the whodunit investigation. It was refreshing to see some good writing around a cop film here, which is basically about the cop starting a PI business in his retirement. The build-up is fantastic and has some novel elements, keeping you guessing at every turn. Though most of the plot involves some convenient writing, I enjoyed working on the clues with my family as we watched it. It's the final exposition that reduced the impact the film should otherwise have had. Nonetheless, a neat thriller with an ever-good Shajohn.

A Well-Made, Tight Thriller / 9 Stars out of 10.

As a veteran police officer, Shajon has done it so realistically!

Kalabhavan Shajon starrer 'CID Ramachandran Retired SI' has been released without much fanfare. This movie is a good treat for those who like thriller movies. For those who enjoy suspenseful films, this one is highly recommended. Kalabhavan Shajon's outstanding performance is the film's main attraction. As a veteran police officer, Shajon has done it so realistically. The movie gives a really good thriller experience on a small budget. It can be honestly said that Sanoop Sathyan has approached the film with a hands-on approach without any constraints of a newbie director. Within the first five minutes, the director has managed to convey to the audience the character's sincerity towards work and expertise in case investigation.

This movie had very few shows in my town when it released and I missed the theater run due to the lack of shows. It would be great if the creators put more effort into promoting their films. Without proper promotion, the movie might not reach its intended audience, leading to poor performance at the box office. The same thing happened with Ranjan Pramod flick ' O baby'.

The movie had a good start and maintained the pace thorughout the running time. The production design was also apt for the movie.

Shajohn was exuberant throughout and his performance deserves applause. He is a great actor and we need more serious roles from him. Expecting to see more good movies from him in the future.
