Romancham (2023)
6/10
A balanced dose of comedy, tension, and mysticism
8 April 2023
Thank you to the makers of Romancham for the extreme laughter in this film! The doses of comedy, tension, and mysticism were well-balanced!

DELICIOUS

-Sooo...We were hesitant to watch Romancham due to the Ouija board game at the center of the story, but it ended up being more of a thriller than horror which was appreciated.

Jithin Madhavan successfully built up the tension at adequate times and knew when to switch to humor. Each scene was intentionally executed to get us through the narration and new characters were added at the appropriate interval

-Give it up to Arjun Ashokan🤣🤣There's no way you can forget him! This is the first time Arjun was amusing in a role without forcing it.

-It was great to have a good sense of who the friends were: their laziness, boredom, unhygienic habits, and love for volleyball. No one overpowered anyone and even a superstar like Soubin Shahir gave others the spotlight 👏🏿

-Mystery was all around in Romancham: mystery in the wall poster, the increasing number of rats, Sinu's true identity, etc.

The main point of the story was clear: refrain from being excessively curious and meddling with mystical and obscure practices. What started out as simple fun turned out to be biting more than they could chew

BLAND

-Romancham was deflated by the screenplay's lack of progression. We were presented with friends playing Ouija and facing the consequences. But, what next? The storytelling took a common approach and finally, there wasn't much to hold on to after watching.
