Ringmaster Malayalam Movie Review

Ringmaster BOX OFFICE

When you analyze the recent track record of Dileep's last few films, they were money spinners at the box office but they received generally negative feedback from critics. Films like Nadodimannan and Sringaaravelan did good business at the box office but were panned by critics & reviewers and that includes me as well. Ezhu Sundara Rathrikal was also a dud but that was a movie in a different genre other than comedy.
So naturally I pegged my expectation level to the very minimum before entering the cinema hall. May be that's why I could enjoy Ring Master, the new film of Dileep directed by Raafi. Humour and comedy is once again the backdrop of this Dileep-Raafi film but the way of presenting the humour does not go overboard or does not go to a level that irritate the viewers. For family audiences and for all being for a festive treat Ringmaster is definitely worth a watch.

Scripted by the director himself, Ring Master has Dileep enacting the role of Prince, a dog trainer and the film narrates the bonding between Prince and Diana (a dog).

The direction is old school comedy but loud and non-veg comedies are very limited to make a decent watch for everyone. The backdrop of a dog story and the bondage between man and the loving animal is a change from the recent trend of stories we see.

On the acting side, Diana the canine super star in the film hogs the limelight along with the other dogs Tobey and Lissy.

Dileep as usual it’s a safe role for him that he does well these days while Keerthi was also ok in her portrayal of the blind girl. Honey Rose has nothing much to perform while Shajon, Aju Varghese and Suraj handled the comic department with ease along with Dileep. Vijayaraghavan, Pakru and Ranjini forming rest of the supporting cast.

Music by Gopi Sundar is on the positive side with the animated song Dogs Own Country that has dogs making the dancing steps being a visual treat.

On the whole, this logic less popcorn entertainer is good for a watch if you don't give too much prominence to the story side. My rating is again a 3 / 5.
