Role Models is an absolute laugh riot and major credit for that goes to the support actors Sharafudheen(especially) and Vinayakan. Fahadh Faasil in the lead impresses with his dual personality and also does adorable dance moves in the superhit song Thechille Penne(the only other time I enjoyed a song like this was Appangalembadum in Ustad Hotel). Namitha Pramod as Fahadh's love is talented and effortlessly manages drama scenes. The director of the movie Raffi also makes an appearance here and is almost neck and neck with Sharafudheen and Vinayakan with his comedy. Renji Panicker also gets a neat role as a clueless father of Fahadh who's desperate to ensure that his son leads a normal life. The movie seemed to trivialise homosexuality even if the scenes shown were intended to be comical. Besides that, I felt the scenes towards the end where Fahadh attempts to woo Namitha were a bit too lengthy and could have been trimmed. Still, I felt the movie is an entertainment worth the ticket price. They say laughter is the best medicine and Role Models provides you just that.
