Oh Bhama Ayyo Rama Movie: Showtimes, Review, Songs, Trailer, Posters, News & Videos
Review: Oh Bhama Ayyo Rama, directed by debutant Ram Godhala, attempts to weave a gentle romance with deeper emotional undercurrents. The film opens on a bright, breezy note, where the chemistry between Suhas and Malavika Manoj feels organic. Suhas is reliably grounded, while Malavika, impresses with charm and sincerity as the free-spirited Satyabhama.
Ali offers well-timed comic relief in small bursts, without overstaying his welcome. Anita Hassanandani, Ravindra Vijay, Babloo Prithiveeraj, Moin Mohammad, Sathvik Anand and Harish Shankar round off a supporting cast that performs earnestly, though without bringing anything particularly new to the table. Radhan's music complements the film's mood, with its melodic appeal. Visually, the film is clean and polished.
The film's biggest strength lies in its intention: to explore how love can be a catalyst for healing and growth. But its execution is uneven. The tonal shift from romantic comedy to emotionally heavy drama isn't handled with the finesse it requires. The screenplay begins to drag in the second half, with narrative detours and emotional beats that lack nuance. The climax, though well-meaning, feels too convenient and underwhelming.
In the end, Oh Bhama Ayyo Rama is a film that works in parts. Its performances, music, and premise are engaging, but it falters when it tries to go deeper without the narrative precision to support it. As a debut, it shows promise—but the storytelling could have used more polish.

Varun Badola on playing an alcoholic, unreliable father in Itti Si Khushi; says ‘I had to first forgive the character to play him on screen'
Actor Varun Badola is all set to make a powerful impact with his upcoming show Itti Si Khushi, even before its official launch. The recently released promo of the show has already struck a chord with viewers and industry peers for its sensitive portrayal of resilience and emotional complexities within a broken family. In Itti Si Khushi, Varun plays Suhas Divekar—a character that challenges the usual image of a father. Suhas is charming yet unreliable, loving yet emotionally absent. He drowns his guilt and pain in alcohol, complicating his relationships with his family. It's this deeply flawed but relatable character that intrigued Varun and tested his skills as an actor. Opening up about his process of portraying Suhas, Varun shared, 'If Suhas had been a straightforward character, just an alcoholic and good-for-nothing, it would've been easier to understand and portray. It's very easy to make such a character look like a villain. But the brief I received was very clear: no matter what he does or how he behaves, Suhas must remain lovable. That's where the complexity lies, and that's what made it so exciting. ' He further added, 'One wrong step and Suhas could easily come across as negative. To keep him endearing, you have to accept him as he is. And as an actor, somewhere deep inside, I had to forgive him first to play his character onscreen. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Beyond Text Generation: An AI Tool That Helps You Write Better Grammarly Install Now Undo That's not easy.' Revealing the emotional struggle behind playing Suhas, Varun admitted, 'With every scene I read, there were moments I found myself disliking him, questioning his choices. And honestly, out of all the shows I've done, this is probably one of the most challenging roles I've taken up.' Concluding his thoughts, Varun said, 'Suhas is a beautifully written character, and I truly hope I do justice to the role.'
