K-Ramp Movie Review

Telugu360 Rating: 2/5

Story:

Kiran Abbavaram plays Kumar, a spoiled brat who performs miserably in EAMCET. His wealthy father pays a hefty donation to get him admitted into an engineering college in Kerala, where he goes along with his friend. There, Joy Mercy (Yukti) saves him from an accident, and their friendship soon turns into love. However, Mercy suffers from PTSD and cannot tolerate anyone who lies to her – this quirk becomes the core driver for the film’s comedy and most of its narrative.

Analysis:

K-Ramp opens in the familiar Kiran Abbavaram style – a carefree youngster spending time in local bars and ignoring studies. The college sequences that follow fail to deliver the intended humor, leaving the first half flat and uneventful. The film finally gains some momentum post-interval, when comedy arising from the heroine’s PTSD reactions works effectively for about 30 minutes. Beyond that, however, the story lacks emotional depth – the romance feels superficial, and the sentiment doesn’t land, though emotional resonance was never the film’s main goal.

Senior actor Naresh’s track comes across as cheap, though it may appeal to some mass audiences. Murali Goud as Mercy’s uncle and Sai Kumar deliver decent performances in their parts.

Performances:

Kiran Abbavaram gives an earnest performance, but the weak writing doesn’t make full use of his potential. Yukti suits her role adequately, while Vennela Kishore shines in a few scenes. The hero’s sidekicks, however, add little to the film.

Positives:

• Post-interval comedy (around 30 minutes)
• Kiran Abbavaram’s performance

Negatives:

• Dull first half
• Crass humor
• Weak songs

Verdict:

K-Ramp fails to live up to expectations. The comedy works only in parts and feels loud and outdated. It’s a one-time watch at best for those who enjoy mass-style humor, while others may want to skip it.
