Thrilling and dileep acting is good. Dileep is a wonderful actor songs are good vijayaraghavan acting another level what i. Thought was the big release and the collection very happy for that the collection was so much earn for malaylam industry industry going on.
Ramleela might be the perfect example of how a brilliant screenplay and a mediocre technical brilliance mixed with a bit of exemplary acting can achieve. Arun Gopy might have just incubated the sole hit of all the Diwali releases so far.
Ramleela stands on its base as a strong film even though the viewers might feel the shaking of such a base during the long runtime. With a strong opening theme song and a vividly brilliant color grading early from the film, Ramleela had already shown technical brilliance with a steady flow of good dialogues and a efficient casting. Dileep has got another role that he could justify as a actor, rather than a comedian. Dileep has been used to his core, proving valid emotional responses and a producing a mesmerizing presence on screen. Kalabhavan Shajon has also done his part well, keeping close to a mild basic combo with Dileep. Apart from the leads, all other characters were given sufficient amount of screen value, a topic that might touch every Malayalam film of all time.
Ramleela's plot was a carefully thought and executed material. It does have its flaws and backs but ultimately, the film reaches to the point where the criticism doesn't matter to the story, only to the screenplay. Sachy has done a marvelous job at keeping the pieces together and winding the clock until the time has come. With some late additions to the ongoing plot, Ramleela might lag on some end but keeps to its theme as a Political thriller. The 1st Half was so better than the 2nd. Even though i felt that the climax twist was beautifully executed, it lacked a sense of excitement that should have flown through us ; it was expected a mile across. Until that point, with a lot of gibberish thrown at us, i really thought the film had gone out of hand. Its transition from a giddy old Thriller to a unexpected 90's style innocence proving victim was profoundly dumb. Apart from the major part of the 2nd Half, Ramleela is beautiful as beautiful it needs to be.
In the end Ramleela is a complete package for a family or for a evident film enthusiast. With nail biting sound direction and a remarkably ensembles cast, Arun Gopy has succeeded in creating a Diwali Blockbuster.
Final Verdict - 7.4 / 10
Shaped Too Heavy !

Shaped Too Heavy !
From the opening credits to the climax Ramaleela was a political drama through and through. Sachi and Arun Gopy did a great job of setting the stage and introducing the characters. Each character with their own agenda, ideals and backstory in a political backdrop effortlessly pulled me into the story and kept me invested. Seeing Dileep in a serious role was refreshing and the performance of veterans Siddique and Vijayaragavan added significant depth to the characters.
The dark underbelly of the political world was portrayed brilliantly and I liked how Arun Gopy showed the ideological differences of two major parties including their flaws. It was a fest of rivalry, power plays and master strokes. They kept increasing the stakes up until the inciting event near the interval, by this time I was thoroughly engaged.
By the second half the story takes a turn towards an investigative thriller. However, saying that the investigation part was lacking would be an understatement. Somewhere along the way the thrill was lost too. The police DYSP, instead of trying to solve the case was watching the show like a housewife. I mean come on Mr. Devassy, who in the right mind would allow the accused to solve his own case?. I get that the writer was trying to show how the media influences the public and thereby has a hold in the political arena, but everything felt so obvious and forced, it was borderline annoying. The climax which was supposed to be a head turning twist did not pack that much of a punch. People would have seen that coming a mile away.
Ironically, the MC who is supposed to be the good guy employs media manipulation to facilitate his own needs. Isn't there any hope for people wishing for honest politicians?.
After all is said and done, the movie did keep me entertained through the run time.

The movie named Ramaleela directed by Arun Gopi was a excellent political based as well as its shown a power of a common man. In the play Dileep in and as Ramanunni who faced civil war in his family and he compelled to do opposite so. Finally we all could understand what it was and why? We can understand that only if we watch until to end. Any way its a great movie which can offered by the actor Dileep since long time
