CID Ramachandran Retd SI

The character of Ramachandran was well written. It's refreshing and Shajohn's performance is excellent. There was the needed subtlety and seriousness and the softer side of the officer at home was also portrayed well. There was a balance in his character that is rarely seen. There is no over dramatisation of scenes where he is offended by his former colleagues. He is quiet and accepts the reality as it is. There is no cliché tragedy associated with the life of a credible police officer, nor is he an alcoholic. He simply loves his job as is evident from the various instances seen throughout the film. Anumol and Karamana Sudheer also gave solid performances.

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

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 very neat investigation mystery thriller

This is definitely a worth watching murder mystery thriller. The thrilling tone is maintained right from the beginning till the end.

The plot is one hell of a one. Keeps us really engaged. And the plot is Retired police inspector Ramachandran investigates a case of falsely accused suspects in a rural area, uncovering lies, betrayal, and the real culprit to exonerate the innocent and restore faith in justice.

This is the end product of a quintessential amalgamation of all the individual and minute building blocks that makes a movie. Wonderful!

My rating is 9/10.

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!
