ramji londonwaley review

Dayma also succeeds in striking the right balance between humor and melodrama. The brand of humor is not the David Dhawan kind, yet it manages to makes you laugh at the right places. The toilet paper part as also the sequences involving the undergarments are humorous.

Vishal Bharadwaj's music is okay, partly because the songs haven't been promoted to the optimum. Cinematography [Ravi Varman] is eye-catching, especially the aerial view of London. Dialogues [Madhavan, Sanjay Dayma] give the film that extra sheen.

RAMJI LONDONWALEY belongs to Madhavan completely. It's a master stroke from the accomplished actor yet again. He conveys so much through his expressive face and eyes and that's where the actor triumphs. Samita Bangargi is a revelation. If the actor looked completely at sea in her earlier outings, she gets it right this time around. She leaves a strong impression in the latter half of the film, handling the dramatic moments like a seasoned performer.

The film has a number of characters, but the ones who stand out are Raj Zutshi, Aditya Lakhia, Harsh Chhaya, Dayashanker Pandey and Akhilendra Mishra. Raj Zutshi is first-rate in a role that offers him ample scope to change colors like a chameleon. Aditya Lakhia may have a miniscule role, but his eyes convey a lot. Satish Shah steers away from his funny man image and proves his versatility in a different role. The lady playing the role of Zutshi's estranged wife is excellent. Amitabh Bachchan stages an entry in the last sequence and is sure to appeal to the die-hard Bachchan fans.

On the whole, RAMJI LONDONWALEY is a feel-good entertainer that gives you a positive feeling at the conclusion of the show. At the box-office, its future will rest on a strong word of mouth kind, although the clash of multiple films in a week and also the fact that NO ENTRY continues to be the first choice of moviegoers, will affect the business of RAMJI LONDONWALEY to an extent. An enjoyable film nonetheless!
