Director: Chandrakant Singh

Rama Rama… is one lousy drama directed by debutant director Chandrakant Singh. There's no head or tail of what goes on for two plus hours on the screen.

Although it falls in the comic genre, the laughter does not come too often. So just expect some aimless smiles on some extremely aimless episodes.

Santosh and Shanti – a small-town girl – are an unhappily married couple. Why and what makes their relation troubled, is a secret which the director never reveals. Santosh feels Shanti is not the one for him, and he keeps imagining his wife in every other female he spots.

The equation is no different between Prem, Santosh's boss, and his wife Khushi. Prem, a 'good' husband but Khushi is a rich and very demanding lady. She has her own world, where the colours of the walls are painted in fantasy.

Then there are the Khuranas, who enter and exit every now and then.

The script is meant to highlight the complexities of marriage and how various couples, or rather odd couples, fight… and then kiss and make-up!

But it doesn't convey anything it was designed to. There are times when certain episodes drag endlessly or seem stagnated, thus killing the flavour completely.

The screenplay is poor.

The storyline is so pathetic that various scenes come out as sheer waste of time.

The actors too are disappointing. Rajpal Yadav seems to be trapped in the character he played in Main Meri Patni Aur Who… BUT he delivers nothing close to it.

Nor is he his usual funny-self – as he comes out to be in his other side-but-substantial roles!

Aashish Chowdhary delivers an overdose and Amrita Arora is too dramatic.

Anupam Kher is hardly there. I wonder what makes this great actor take up such ungreat role. Rati Agnihotri too is wasted.

Neha Dhupia scores the maximum marks. She shapes her character with great ease and is worth a watch.

Cinematography is decent but as far as editing is concerned, the scissors should have been used at the right places… to tighten the loose script.

Music is definitely not noteworthy and neither are the songs.
