Malayalam blockbuster movie ‘Romancham’ which was made on a very small budget and earned over 50 crores in Kerala has been released on Disney + Hotstar recently. It is dubbed into Telugu too and it only comprises of character artists who were given interesting roles. It is quite amazing that no filmmaker in Telugu wanted to buy the remake rights of this super hit film. It is a simple story that happens in 1997.
Seven bachelors live in a rented room outside the Banglore city. Barring two people who have a job and a business respectively, all the others are jobless and go to interviews and get rejected all the time. Jeevan (Soubin Shahir)sees a board that calls spirits at a friend’s home and tries to do the same with his friends too. They summon a ghost named Anamika and she answers their questions by movie a tea glass. The friends get scared and tries to go into their rooms. Some unexpected things happen and Jeevan gets admitted in the hospital. No one sees the ghost but only Jeevan sees it.
The story takes an interesting turn here and it leads to an amazing ride. The movie totally happens in a house of three rooms. There are very few outdoor scenes and the makers would have spent nothing more than a crore. Simple comedy and clean horror were dealt in a very able manner. People who like a lot of drama may not like ‘Romancham’ but it is a time pass film and it shows that you can a film like this and become successful too.
