Good investigation thriller 👌
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!
