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.

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.

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.
