K-Ramp Review: Kiran Abbavaram's masala flick is loud, lacks soul, and has limited appeal

K-Ramp Story

Kumar Abbavaram (Kiran Abbavaram) lives life on his own terms, enjoying every luxury that comes with being the son of a wealthy businessman, Krishna (Sai Kumar). Worried about his son's lack of discipline, Krishna decides to send him to a college in Kerala, hoping a change of environment will set him straight. There, Kumar meets Mersi Joy (Yukti Thareja), and love blossoms between the two. Just as their bond deepens, Kumar discovers that Mersi is battling a serious disorder. What steps Kumar takes to help her is the basic story of the film.

K-Ramp Review

K-Ramp has been written and directed by Jaina Nani, a memer and social media freak. He has taken the same old formulaic story and set it in Kerala. A rich brat leading a luxury life, falling for a girl, and helping her solve issues has been showcased in many films before. But the only difference here is that it is written aptly for Kiran Abbavaram, who is taking rapid steps in reinventing himself with each film. 

To date, he has done only soft roles with a bit of action here and there. But in K-Ramp, he plays this loud, in-your-face rich dude who is all over the place. The manner in which his character is designed is the USP of the film.

However, in making this work, the story and emotions take a backseat. There is heavy usage of curse words, added only to make things look different. In the process, the film feels stretched and bland. The first half has some humour, but the story goes nowhere.

The way the heroine's disorder is introduced is good, but apart from that, things do not work much. There are so many routine scenes that one gets exhausted counting them in the first half. One gets the feeling that Kiran Abbavaram made this film only to showcase himself as a mass hero. While his performance is good, the rest of the film is disappointing.

The second half has a few good moments, but the drama feels forced again. A senior actor gets an interesting role, but it looks and sounds a bit cheap at the outset. There is no denying that K-Ramp is made for the front benchers, but even for them, things feel over the top.

Kiran Abbavaram gets a solid role and delivers well. The loud character somehow suits him, and he gives an honest performance, making him the major highlight of the film. Yukthi Thareja is also impressive and delivers a sincere performance. Vennela Kishore is okay in a key role, but does not evoke the usual comedy fans expect.

The camerawork is underwhelming. Despite being set in Kerala, the backdrop is hardly utilised, making the film look simple and routine. The dialogues are bold and over the top in various scenes. Editing is okay, and so is the production design. Director Jaina Nani seems to have had only one thing in mind: showcasing the male lead. 

Though the female lead gets a solid role, the film is largely male-centric. K-Ramp is the kind of film one should watch without expectations and go with the flow, as there is nothing new showcased here.

K-Ramp Verdict

On the whole, K-Ramp is an out-and-out masala film that is over the top and lacks emotional depth. There is passable comedy in the second half, but the weak story and exaggerated performances make this film one with very limited appeal.
