The main problem with Romancham is the lack of engaging narration. More time is taken for character introductions, and the main story actually begins at the 45th minute. The entire first hour is very bland, and it needs a great amount of patience to watch the film. The scenes about the spirit board are boring. This part isn’t funny or exciting at the same time. After having watched the impactless proceedings for one hour, one would generally expect the plot to take a significant turn in the second hour. But there isn’t anything great that happens regarding the plot in the second half too. The actor’s performances and their antics become the saving grace, but it is very evident that the plot is wafer-thin. Touted to be a horror comedy, the movie doesn’t have any horror elements as such. The ending is left abrupt, only to have a sequel to the film. The editing is bad, as the film moves at a snail’s pace for the most part. Such an unneccerly hyped movie....
