Romans is a 2013 Indian Malayalam-language comedy thriller mystery film directed by Boban Samuel.

[6][7] The film is produced by Arun Ghosh and Bijoy Chandran under the banner Chand V Creations.

[8] The film stars Kunchacko Boban, Biju Menon, Nivetha Thomas, Lalu Alex and T. G. Ravi..

The core plots were inspired from 1989 American comedy film We're No Angels, directed by Neil Jordan.

Poomala is home to a famous century-old Latin Catholic church which had been closed for years.

The men find luck on their side as their doings end up having positive effects and strengthening the belief of the townspeople.

Shibu locks him in a room and runs away, but Achankunju frees Akash (initially believing that it was a ghost).

He poisons the Vayanayappam, a food which the priests eat during the ritual, thus making it look like a curse or a mysterious death.

The police inspector Vetrimaaran, who has been hunting the duo since their escape, tells the men that he knows what they did in Poomala and as a reward, their punishment will be reduced.

The end credit scenes shows two men in Santa Claus costumes celebrating Christmas with the elderly.

Romans released on 17 January 2013 in 74 cinemas across Kerala,[1][2] receiving positive response from critics.

The film was a notable commercial success at the box office and ran for over 100 days in theatres.

[12] A critic from The Times of India wrote that "A comedy revolving around two fraud priests, Romans works to an extent, courtesy Biju Menon and a tale that does not fail to flutter if not create a storm".

[13] Smitha of One India gave the movie 3.5/5 stars, stating that "Romans is a comic caper and you will have plenty of reasons to laugh your heart out!

"[14] IndiaGlitz gave the movie 6.5/10 stars, concluding that "Romans is targeted at the massive number of spectators who relish zany capers.

If you are a member of this group, it's double the fun and guffaws this time; almost sure in leading to another commercial hit.
