    Yet Another Chafing Comedy Thriller!

    Romans seemed to be entertaining with the posters and cast promising high. But, in fact, it turns out to be a typical comedy thriller which you can both predict and not predict at the same time. Not much of intrigue is produced as the film advances.

    Boban & Menon are good but I loved Menon's humorous dialogs than Kunchacko's. Cast performances is average whereas the direction is sloppy. The story, as I hear is borrowed from Hollywood, doesn't charm because it gives you the impression of dozen of fools being fooled by two godly men. With lots of plot holes & mistakes, Romans turns out to be more of a clichéd thriller than comedy towards second half. 180 minutes of running time, & I exhausted most of my coke & popcorn. You will get tired of the usual humor, dialogs and screenplay. With an array of unanswered questions, Romans disappoints. And the inclusion of love factor is just not done. Yes, it send the chills towards the end, but you feel robbed as the balance between comedy & horror is poor and the foundation is decrepit.

    BOTTOM LINE: Not much of a great story; neither it is a comic caper. But watch it if you are a fan and love cheap humor accompanied by slapstick.

    Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

    Effective with comedic elements

    The film Romans is a cinematic work belonging to the comedy-drama genre, directed by Boban Samuel.

    The narrative chronicles the situation in a village where a church has been abandoned due to a lack of priests. The church has been surrounded by rumours and myths. Two men who had absconded from police entered the village. The villagers believed that these two men were priests who had been sent from Rome and that they were seeking a safe place to live. They feigned well as priests, but they had to overcome the myths created by the villagers.

    The film's primary mode is comedy, and its climactic scenes are particularly engaging.

    In conclusion, the narrative was of an average quality. However, the direction was effective in incorporating comedic elements. The performances were also noteworthy, and the musical numbers were particularly commendable.

    Nevertheless, the implausible scenes and deficiencies in the narrative render the film only moderately engaging, justifying a single watching.
