Oh Bhama Ayyo Rama Movie Review: A quirky rom-com weighed down by tonal misfires
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.

Main yeh manta hoon ki humaara ek naatak hai, Ram Naam ke naatak mein main Ravan ka kidaar nibha raha hoon. (Personally, I believe that whatever God has planned for you will find its way.

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Ashutosh Rana said, 'Mera apna yeh manna hai ki jo cheez aapke prarambh mein, aapki tamaam bhaag mein bhagwan ne likhi hogi woh apne aap pahunch jaati hai. Aap sirf ek jagah par baithkar, dhairyapurvak pratiksha kijiye. Pratiksha aur dhairya agar sahi staan par ki jaa rahi hoon toh fal bhi hoti hai. Toh main yeh maanta hoon ki aap kya sochte hai?

(I personally believe that whatever is meant for you—what God has written in your destiny from the very beginning—will find its way to you. You simply need to sit in one place and wait patiently.
