Rafi plays the perfect role as a ring master(director) in his latest film Ring Master and gave seatbumps with the comedies and humping each time. With creary loop rings in his script. Any which way you look at it, you fail to unearth the enthusiasm that should have made the acrobatics easier on your muscles.
Dileep plays as a dog trainer named Prince, who is assigned with a task of caretaker of dogs at each house, when the owner is away. Prince does seem to have a way with the dogs as well as with a blind girl Karthika (Keerthi Suresh), who enter into his life.
There's pretty much little that merits the analysis here, and when I say the protagonist's dog and his leading lady (Honey Rose Varghese) have the same name Diana in the film, I presume it should unmistakably presume our assumption of characterisations over each dialogue.
But this doesn't mean that the film is devoid lots to laugh. It does dole out gags in abundance, and if you are the kind who would break a rib watching the antics that the man is up to, you might even think it's an wholesome entertainer.
If you are pet lover, the film left you confused. I couldn't for the life of me figure out if Prince was indeed a man whose heart bled for these delightful doggies. The reason being that in an attempt to bring in hilarity on all possible occasions, the writing makes you wonder if the man is pulling a fast one on you or if he really means business.
It's become usual for Dileep to act in films like this over a long while after CID moosa where he plays th character of CID with Dog to do this investigations of Goons, and its alarming the way these characters get moulded to cater to the supposedly existing target audience. I guess this viewer can should indeed exist, as the box office potential of films as these have proven time-by-time.
Dileep comes up with no fresh surprises in the film, as an actor. In fact, the role as has been said earlier is tailor made for the actor, and all that he has to do is to get that spiked hair intact, which he does admirably well for the ladies, I liked Honey Rose Varghese better in her character, precisely because her role is a tidbit more interesting than the one that Keerthi plays.
This is a huge cast without doubt, and there is Aju Varghese, Kalabhavan Shajon, Suraj Venjarammoodu, Ranjini and Guinness Pakru in key roles. We have been there, and seen almost every bit of it, and yet at times a smile or two does flash across your face.
There is nothing much to rave regarding the technicalities as well. Shaji does no wizardry with the camera, and Gopi Sundar comes up with a musical score that does add up a little fizz to the otherwise worn out state of affairs.
'Ring Master' clearly falls into the category of brainless potboilers, and if you have got a taste for the same, you might end up enjoying it. I for one, am definitely not looking forward to leave logic back home when I venture out to watch a film, which is why Rafi's 'Ring Master' is one silly show that I would gladly give a miss.
