'Romans' mixes every known genre into its cinematic cauldron, to churn out a heady cocktail. There is romance, comedy, suspense, action, horror etc. The film easily stradles all these diverse areas. Throughout the entire film, the comic elements have been sustained. This liberal coating of humour is the film's USP. With the hit duo, Kunchacko Boban and Biju Menon providing the laughs, 'Romans' does deliver what is expected of it.
The suspense-horror part adds to the thrill. 'Romans' centres around the escapades of two thieves played by Biju Menon and Kunchako Boban. The duo escapes from the train in which they are being transported to a jail. They end up in a village along the Kerala- Tamil Nadu border. There they trick the innocent villagers into thinking that they are priests ordained from Rome.
The "Romans" have the time of their lives there.
The audience are taken for a joyride through their comic capers and antics. The warm soupthey are in thickens with unseen forces making its presence felt. During all this, the comedy does not flag. The suprise revelations and the unfolding of the mystry forms the rest of the plot.
'Romans' perfectly articulates Biju Menon's comic timing and underscores his ability to performa comic character solidly. His pithyand spontaneous statements are a treat. Kunchacko Boban, introduced as a romantic hero, has given a commendable performance. Niveda Thomas whose role in the movie is a forgettable one, has done what is required of her. Nelson has performed well creating many unforgettable comic situations in the first half. Others like Lalu Alex, Vijayaraghavan, Kochu Preman, T.G.Ravi has done well.
Boban Samuel, the film's director has given the viewers a fairly decent fare. Script and dialogue by Y. V. Rajesh is upbeat and plugs most of the loopholes. The Kodaikanal locale, the old church and the thriller part have all been deftly captured on screen.
