Role
Models
is
the
comical
entertainer
which
stars
Fahadh
Faasil
in
the
lead
role.
The
movie,
which
is
written
and
directed
by
Rafi
stars
Namitha
Pramod
in
the
female
lead.
Role
Models
is
produced
by
Vaishak
Rajan
for
Vyshaka
Cynyma.
Role
Models
Story
Gautham
is
a
workaholic
young
man
who
has
totally
lost
contact
with
the
outer
world,
including
his
parents
and
best
friends.
His
parents,
who
are
highly
worried
about
their
son's
nature,
request
the
help
of
his
college
friends.
The
friends
finally
convince
Gautham
to
go
on
a
mini
vacation
to
Goa
with
them.
How
the
friends
and
Goa
trip
help
Gautham
to
sort
out
his
problems
forms
the
crux
of
the
story.
Cast,
Crew
&
Performances
Fahadh
Faasil
As
Gautham
Fahadh
Faasil
has
nothing
much
to
do
in
this
poorly
written
role,
which
lacks
strength
and
clarity.
The
character
Gautham
also
has
some
striking
similarities
with
some
of
Fahadh's
earlier
roles.
Script
&
Director:
Rafi
Rafi,
the
writer-director
has
tried
to
discuss
too
many
topics
with
the
film.
But,
the
director's
attempt
has
miserably
failed,
as
it
has
only
made
the
narrative
extremely
messy.
The
comical
sequences
look
totally
forced
but
might
work
for
the
fans
of
slapstick
humour.
The
excessive
preachiness
at
a
few
portions,
a
certain
scene
which
ridicules
women,
the
unconvincing
twists
that
lead
to
the
climax
are
the
other
factors
that
kill the
show.
Namitha
Pramod
As
Shreya
Namitha
Pramod
is
simply
gorgeous
onscreen,
in
her
new
get-up.
The
actress
has
played
her
part
well,
even
though
she
was
provided
with
very
less
scope
to
perform.
Supporting
Cast
Vinayakan
and
Vinay
Forrt,
the
talented
actors
are
totally
wasted
in
their
under-written
roles,
but
they
score
at
the
comical
sequences.
Sharafudeen
is
at
his
usual
best.
The
rest
of
the
star
cast,
including
director
Rafi,
Renji
Panicker,
Srinda,
Seetha,
Harisree
Ashokan,
etc.,
are
fine
in
their
roles.

Shamdat

Cinematographer
Shamdat
Sainudeen's
beautiful
visualization
makes
Role
Models
a
watchable
experience.
Music
The
song
Thechille
Penne
might
have
emerged
as
a
great
hit
on
social
media,
but
hardly
makes
any
impact
in
the
narrative.
The
rest
of
the
songs
are
forgettable,
while
the
background
score
is
fine.
Other
Technical
Aspects
V
Saajan's
editing
is
not
up
to
the
standards,
as
the
narrative
lacks
clarity
and
looks
messy.
Sameera
Saneesh,
who
has
handled
the
costume
designing,
and
art
director
Joseph
Nellickal
deserve
a
special
mention.
Verdict
A
strictly
average
affair,
which
is
only
recommended
for
the
audiences
who
prefer
brainless
comedy
over
solid
storyline
and
narrative.
