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.

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.

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.

CID Ramachandran Retd SI follows the line of a policeman investigating his crime post-retirement. The film takes its own sweet time to establish the characters and plot. Once the film switches to the investigation part, it keeps the viewers engaged not just for a bit but till the very end. Each new finding is a new turn in the investigation route. It is quite rare to have something refreshing like this in the tried and tested field of crime drama. And very satisfying to have a story that doesn't rely on predictable storyline.

Shajon was very convincing as the policeman who never rests.

If it had a better promotion and distribution, it would have been considered another gem of the year for malayalam cinema.

Would support if this turns out to be a series or a sequel.

Great film.

Writer Director Sanoop Sathyan has a bright future.
