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.

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.

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.

As a veteran police officer, Shajon has done it so realistically!

Kalabhavan Shajon starrer 'CID Ramachandran Retired SI' has been released without much fanfare. This movie is a good treat for those who like thriller movies. For those who enjoy suspenseful films, this one is highly recommended. Kalabhavan Shajon's outstanding performance is the film's main attraction. As a veteran police officer, Shajon has done it so realistically. The movie gives a really good thriller experience on a small budget. It can be honestly said that Sanoop Sathyan has approached the film with a hands-on approach without any constraints of a newbie director. Within the first five minutes, the director has managed to convey to the audience the character's sincerity towards work and expertise in case investigation.

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.
