~Worth Watching~
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 (the director) 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 like Sinu (Arjun Ashokan), Benny (Asim Jamal), and Sayed (Chemban Jose) 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 hilarious in a role without forcing it.
Sinu was the most awkward person ever, he was smiling nonstop, gazing into space, and freezing in the middle of activities. He was soooo creepy
—It was great to have a good sense of who the friends were: their laziness, boredom, unhygienic habits, and love for volleyball.
All the actors stepped up their game and showed us what it was like living in their house. No one overpowered anyone and even a superstar like Soubin Shahir (playing the main role) 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. We were left with many unanswered questions which we suppose will be addressed in part 2?
The main point of the story was clear: refrain from being excessively curious and meddling with obscure practices.
What started out as simple fun for the friends 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, then facing the consequences.
But, what next? The storytelling took a common approach and finally, there wasn’t much to hold on to after watching
