Directed by debutant Jains Nani and featuring Yukti Thareja as the female lead, K-Ramp hit theatres surrounded by buzz—some of it positive, some controversial, but all eyes were on whether Kiran and the film’s team could deliver another festive entertainer. Storyline and Plot The film centers on Kumar Abbavaram (Kiran Abbavaram), a privileged yet aimless youth who falls head over heels for Mercy Joy (Yukti Thareja). His life takes a turn as Mercy’s struggles and a shocking revelation set off a chain of emotional twists. Kumar’s quest to solve Mercy’s mysterious issues forms the core of the narrative, blending romance, comedy, and moments of emotional drama. Performances Kiran Abbavaram anchors the comedy with improved timing and effortless delivery, generating genuine laughs, especially in the film’s first and second acts. Yukti Thareja receives a substantial role but offers a performance that, while sincere, may have benefited from a more seasoned actress given the script’s demands. Sai Kumar, as the hero’s father, leaves a mark in comic and emotional moments. Naresh’s poorly developed ‘Lover Boy’ subplot, however, feels out of place—despite his talent, the lines and treatment let the character down. Supporting actors like Muralidhar Goud, Ali, and Srinivasa Reddy provide sporadic comic relief, and while Vennela Kishore’s cameo has flashes of brilliance, several of his scenes could have been trimmed. Kamna Jethmalani's presence is fleeting and leaves little impact. Technical Aspects Cinematographer Sateesh Reddy Masam capably captures Kerala’s beauty, offering pleasant visuals throughout. The music, scored by Chaitan Bharadwaj, is serviceable but lacks a true chartbuster—a critical shortcoming for a modern rom-com. Editing by Chota K. Prasad leaves room for improvement, as repetitive sequences and an overly lengthy fight scene in the first half bog down the pace. Overall production values are functional but nothing out of the ordinary. Highlights and Drawbacks The film shines in its pre-interval segment and delivers solid laughs for about thirty minutes after the break. Kiran’s comic presence, in particular, stands out as a highlight. However, major drawbacks include the taste issues in Naresh’s comedy track, unnecessary hero glorification, forgettable songs, formulaic execution, and an overuse of strong language. The depiction of PTSD as a comedic trope might not sit well with all sections of the audience. Verdict K-Ramp offers a mix of fun and frustration, with enough lively comedy and improved leading-man charm from Kiran Abbavaram to keep some viewers entertained. However, outdated plot points, poorly crafted subplots, and crude humor prevent it from reaching its true potential. Family audiences, in particular, might be put off by the film’s liberal use of cuss words and certain…
