Raam is a 2009 Indian Kannada-language romantic comedy movie released in 2009 directed by K. Madesh starring Puneeth Rajkumar and Priyamani,[1] who making debut in Kannada cinema.

[2] Ram, a final-year B.E student studying in Bellary comes to visit his joint family in Mysore during his vacation.

She calls her friend and is informed that it takes fifteen days for her visa to be processed.

He tells her to stay in his house by lying to them that she is an orphan and Shastri who is Ram's family friend brought her up in his ashrama.

While Ram's parents come and in disguise as Dollar Dinesh who is Chicago Chandrashekar's brother and asks for Pooja's second uncle's son for their nonexistent daughter.

Ram's last uncle comes as Swiss Bank manager and lies that Pooja's father had taken a loan of 150 crore.

After the marriage they learn the truth and regret their mistake and ask Pooja for forgiveness.

There is nothing special in Hari Krishna's songs, except for Hosa Gaana Bajaana and Neenendhare Nanage Ishta.

[4] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "The first half of the film is entertaining but begins running in circles soon after.

Krishnakumar’s cinematography and the competitive spirit of Priyamani (who sometimes resembles a serious Jyothika) all make ‘Raam’ work.

True film buffs make no distinction of language and will definitely enjoy ‘Raam’, who rams the viewer hard, leaving behind only two of Harikrishna’s tunes".

[5] A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "It is a treat to watch Puneeth's brilliance in dialogue delivery and expressions.

Srinath, Arun Sagar, Sharath Lohithashwa, Doddanna, and Sundararaj excel.

Raam is worth a watch if you can forgive the dull moments that arrive early on".

[7] The movie opening was not good compared to previous Puneeth's films but picked up after three days.

The movie had massive houseful boards in Bangalore, Mysore, Davangere and Bellary.
