‘RAM’ Movie Review: One Time Passable ‘RAM’ – Telugu Funda

‘RAM’ featuring Surya Ayilasomayajula and Dhanya Balakrishna as the lead actors, was released in theaters. This film, touted as an action entertainer, showcased Mihiram’s directorial prowess.

Surya, Dhanya Balakrishna, and Sai Kumar play crucial roles in this movie, where Ram serves as the director. The film hit theaters this Friday, presenting a story that embodies patriotic fervor. 

Plot 

Major Surya Prakash, portrayed by Rohit, is depicted as a patriot fighting for the country. He not only fights on the front lines but also influences his son Ram (played by Surya Ayilasomayajula) to join the defense forces. However, Ram, with aspirations unrelated to his father’s ideals, initially leads a carefree life with no interest in military matters.

The narrative takes a significant turn when Jahnavi (played by Dhanya Balakrishna) enters Ram’s life. Despite having no connection to his father’s principles, Ram finds himself in love with Jahnavi. The twist arises when Ram decides to venture into the same department as Jahnavi for the sake of their love.

The challenges intensify as Jaibi (played by Bhanuchander) and Riyaz Ahmad (played by Sai Kumar) become pivotal characters in the story. It is not only a love story for Ram, but also a tale of facing challenges posed by these characters. The plot revolves around the tests and trials that Ram undergoes, presumably for the sake of his love for Jahnavi. Whether he passes these exams or not adds suspense to the narrative.

Jahnavi, as a character, plays a crucial role in transforming Ram’s life. The film explores how love becomes a driving force for Ram, pushing him to change from a carefree individual to a dedicated soldier fighting for the country. The movie delves into the intensity of the activities planned by radical organizations in Hyderabad and how Ram confronts these challenges.

Performances

Surya’s performance in the role of Ram is laudable, showcasing his versatility as an actor. He convincingly portrays the multifaceted journey of his character, seamlessly transitioning from a carefree and jovial youth to a committed and dedicated soldier, which adds a layer of authenticity to his portrayal. His ability to capture the essence of the character’s evolution enhances the overall impact of the film. Surya manages to bring depth to the role, making the audience empathize with Ram’s personal and professional struggles.

Rohit, who plays the senior hero and father figure Major Surya Prakash, contributes significantly to the narrative. His portrayal adds an important layer to the storytelling, providing a strong foundation for Ram’s character development. The chemistry and dynamics between Surya and Rohit on screen likely play a crucial role in conveying the father-son relationship and the influence Major Surya Prakash has on Ram’s choices and transformation.

The inclusion of veteran actors like Bhanuchander, Sai Kumar, Shubhalekha Sudhakar, and others enriches the overall viewing experience. These seasoned performers bring their years of experience to the table, adding depth and authenticity to their respective roles. Sai Kumar, in particular, stands out with his impactful dialogues that contribute to the weight and gravitas of the narrative.

Dhanya Balakrishna, essaying the role of Jahnavi, leaves a lasting impression with her impactful performance. Her portrayal of the character adds substance to the storyline, and her chemistry with Surya brings an emotional dimension to the film. Dhanya’s ability to convey the emotions and complexities of Jahnavi’s character contributes to the overall success of her role in the narrative.
