Engaging Premise Hindered by Weak Execution
Intriguing Plot Setup:
“Ranam Aram Thavarel” introduces us to Shiva, a face reconstruction artist aiding the police in solving crimes involving disfigured victims. The discovery of body parts in burnt boxes sets the stage for a gripping investigative thriller.
Compelling First Half:
The film’s initial half captivates with its intriguing developments and focused storytelling. The pacing builds anticipation, leading to a promising setup for the unraveling mystery.
Disappointing Second Half:
Unfortunately, director Sharief struggles to maintain the momentum in the latter half. The plot loses its coherence, leaving gaping holes in logic and failing to provide satisfactory answers to crucial questions. This undermines the overall impact of the narrative.
Solid Performances:
While the execution falters, the cast delivers commendable performances. Vaibhav impresses as Shiva, showcasing versatility in his role. Tanya Hope portrays Inspector Indhuja with conviction, while Nandita Swetha shines in a brief yet impactful role as a mother.
Missed Potential and Message:
Despite a valid social message, the film falls short in its delivery. The director’s inability to effectively tie up loose ends detracts from what could have been a compelling investigative thriller. “Ranam Aram Thavarel” remains a missed opportunity, overshadowed by lapses in logic.
Verdict:
“Ranam Aram Thavarel” promises intrigue but fails to deliver due to its disjointed narrative and lapses in logic. An investigative thriller that falls short of its potential.
