Ramabanam (Trans:Lord Rama's Arrow) is a 2023 Indian Telugu-language action drama film directed by Sriwass from a story written by Bhupathi Raja.
[2] It stars an ensemble cast featuring Gopichand, Dimple Hayathi, Jagapathi Babu, Nassar, Vennela Kishore, Tarun Arora and Sachin Khedekar.
Years later, Vicky is a renowned gangster in Kolkata under his adoptive father Guptha and falls in love with a girl named Bhairavi, who too reciprocates his feelings.
In retaliation, GK orchestrated the poisoning of a batch of food that was donated by Rajaram to an orphanage, rendering the children who consumed it hospitalized and fighting for their lives.
[6] Bhuvanesh Chandar of The Hindu wrote "Director Sriwass’ film fails in its attempt to ‘package’ a commercial entertainer, only to squander any potential its intriguing plotline had; to make matters worse, it also has queerphobic jokes.
"[7] Abhilasha Cherukuri of Cinema Express gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "While some aspects in the film clearly work against its favour, be it the three unmemorable romantic numbers shot in vaguely international locations or its unconvincing, miscast antagonists, Rama Banam also falters heavily due to its largely counterproductive approach of elevating its hero without enough conflict or consequences.
"[8] Srivathsan Nadadhur of OTTplay gave 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Ramabanam is a jaded commercial entertainer that is tolerable initially but loses izz post the intermission.
That's because it is indeed a shooting location and it looks exactly like one; the staging of scenes, by populating the frame with actors who barely utter a dialogue renders many sequences painfully artificial."
