This movie is the collaborative effort of hundreds of background team i.e. excluding the on-screen actors. And so the the 'alleged' crime of a single actor in a movie mustn't be the the reason for the refusal to watch a movie. Adding to that, this movie is not a typical Dileep film, but the kind of character he really portrays - serious, a kind of genre he rarely dives into - not comedy and a response he rarely gets - a good one, jk. The first first half of this film is overlayed with a political atmosphere while the post-intermission sequence is sprinkled with finely-tuned pieces of suspense which I personally admired (especially the climax's twist). All this together forms an intoxicating recipe and director Arun Gopy does more than enough to ensure Ramaleela doesn't fall off the precipice it was placed in. P.S. I'm not gonna rate it. You've got review sites for that.

Very inspirational to watch as a Liverpool fan. For the average viewer, still an uplifting biopic of a man in love with his club and city. 4/5 recommend. Side note: The regular football fan would mock his decisions of staying at Liverpool, but this film shows his love for the club and his desire to lift the Premier League trophy for them. So sad to see that he didn't fulfill that. Even sadder to see that he was so close and he blamed himself for it because of his 'slip'.
