CID Ramachandran Retd SI

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.

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.

This is indeed an immersive seat edger and a major game changer for Malayalam movies. From now on, probably most of the investigation/killer movies are going to be benchmarked based on this one. Pretty much everything about this movie, right from casting till direction is overly impressive. The sound design and music gets my special attention since it created a "never before" feel among Malayalam or maybe even other Indian language movies.

Shajohn from the first scene to the last. And a very nice simple tale which is gripping and thrilling. He excels with his screen presence. Has grown so much as an actor over the years.

I enjoyed this movie for its simplicity and clean story telling. No other industry can even think of making a movie like this!!!

Every other character adds well to the narrative. Suspense thrillers especially of the investigation type need to have a tight script and good narrative quality. This movie does well to capture that essence. Shajohn's ease with acting and his measured performance elevates this plot a great deal.
