Ram Singh Charlie Movie Review : A Lovely Little Film About A Family Of Circus Artistes

Ram Singh Charlie Movie Poster

Ram Singh Charlie is a 2020 Bollywood Drama film, directer is Nitin Kakkar, and writter are Kakkar and Sharib Hashmi. the Star cast are Divya Dutta,Akarsh Khurana,Kumud Mishra,Farrukh Seyer,Salima Raza,Rohit Rokhade. But wants to be many things. The film is a celebration of the artist. Ram might be a circus entertainer but that doesn’t diminish his talent or the labor he puts into making people laugh. When people call Ram a joker, he protests. Because Charlie Chaplin was so much more. Ram does his job with unfailing sincerity and even tells his son, ‘Asli artist sab ke liye nahi, apne liye perform karta hai.’

The film is also a lament for a lost way of life. The circus isn’t just a job. It’s a family. When it shuts, all the members from the owner to Ram to the clowns – lose their moorings. They find it impossible to fit into an indifferent world where their talent is disregarded. At one point, Ram tries to make money by donning a giant chicken costume. He also becomes a rickshaw puller, racing through crowded streets while his head swirls with images of his beloved circus.

The story is set in Kolkata. The city has been evocatively captured by DOPs Subranshu Das and Madhav Salunkhe. We see the urban sprawl as Ram sees it – expansive, uncaring, brutal. You might find echoes here of Bimal Roy’s 1953 classic Do Bigha Zamin, in which a poor farmer, played by the brilliant Balraj Sahni, tries to salvage his ancestral land and his family by becoming a rickshaw puller. The circus scenes might remind you of Raj Kapoor’s Mera Naam Joker. Ram Singh Charlie is also steeped in nostalgia for the simpler joys of the circus, which has now been replaced technology and a hurried pace of life.the film would be released on 28 August 2020.

Critic's Rating : 3.0/5

Ramsingh Charlie Review :

Kumud Mishra has the entire film to himself. His delicate methods are matched to perfection by Divya Dutta The circus comes and goes but life goes on: that was the takeaway from G. Aravindan's 1978 Malayalam classic Thampu. Nitin Kakkar's Ramsingh Charlie may not say as much but it employs a similar metaphor to highlight the struggles of an out-of-work circus performer.

Not that Ramsingh Charlie is anywhere near the league of Aravindan's timeless marvel of cinematic purity and documentary authenticity. But the Kumud Mishra-Divya Dutta starrer, streaming on SonyLIV, is a wonderfully unconventional Hindi film in its own right.

The supporting cast contributes handsomely. Akarsh Khurana, playing the hard-nosed businessman who kills the circus in one fell swoop, is terrific. Salima Raza as the empathetic Masterji, Farrukh Seyer as the friend the male protagonist makes in the city and Surendra Rajan as the violin player are all in their elements.

Ramsingh Charlie is mounted on a modest scale but it anything but it is small. It has layers that run deep and its sweep is excitingly expansive.
