Set in an idyllic village, Ramana Savari is the tale of a boy, named Rama, who is mischievous but adored by his single mother and grandparents. Rama and his friend Appu often head out to the forest, watching birds through binoculars or sit and play the mouth organ.One day when Rama’s father, Shivaram, suddenly sees him at the fair, he is reminded of how much he misses his son and how he longs to be back with his family. But will that wish come true?Verdant settings, no-frills narrative and honest performances make Ramana Savari a heart-warming watch. There are no unnecessary twists or turns in the plot. It is not an edge-of-the-seat narrative.While the style of storytelling feels timeless and artsy, the songs (particularly the dance number) and the length of the film do fade the charm a bit. Ramana Savari can be the perfect watch for the those who want to roll back time, and indulge in the slowness of village life.
