Ramabanam marks the coming together of Gopichand and Jagapathi Babu under the direction of Sriwass.

The trio earlier delivered a decent family entertainer titled Lakshyam (Target, 2007).

Ramabanam’s basic plotline is meaningful. The director’s intention that both good food and happy families are needed for a better society is appreciable.

Entertainment

But the setting that Sriwass chose, the routine treatment, and the formulaic presentation make Ramabanam miss the target.

Entertainment

Gopichand carved a niche for himself in the industry as an action hero. This is why he banks on “action” in all his film.

A fresh treatment and new-age characterisation would have made a lot of difference to Ramabanam. Hope Gopichand realises this and gets updated.

Entertainment

Coming to other actors, Jagapathi Babu is good in his elder brother’s role. Kushboo is fine as Gopichand’s sister-in-law. Dimple Hayathi has a limited role and is okay.

Entertainment

Barring a couple of songs, Mickey J Meyer’s music is average. Editor Prawin Pudi should have trimmed the movie further.

Entertainment

Ramabanam is a typical Gopichand movie. It’s clean and sensible but routine and formulaic.
