K-Ramp Review: Kiran Abbavaram’s K-Ramp, co-starring Yukthi Thareja, got the much-loving publicity treatment as an actor’s own promotion claiming it to be “better than foreign-language love stories.” K-Ramp, which is directed by debutant Jains Nani, created curiosity since this bold statement was made and just before the release it was thrown into a small controversy. But did K-Ramp indeed pass these tall tests and redefine Telugu romantic dramas? This exhaustive review is meant to find out.
Kumar Abbavaram (Kiran Abbavaram) is a spoiled brat and the only son of a prosperous businessman Krishna (Sai Kumar). Although he belongs to a rich family, Kumar has found fun and luxury in the noblest of situations, completely unmindful of his father’s worries, so he trashes college, drinks beers at street-side bars, and annoys father dearest. As a final attempt to bring Kumar onto the treadmill of life, Krishna sends Kumar away on a journey to stay off with his in-law (Naresh) in the state of Kerala.
He joins a college over there and meets Mercy (Yukthi Thareja), a beautiful girl who rescues him from a nasty situation. What starts as their acquaintanceship soon blossoms into love. Just when things were looking beautiful for Kumar, an unforeseen twist springs in and changes everything for him. What would happen next? What is Mercy fighting within that she hides from her love? And will their love withstand the storm? These questions form the crux of the emotional drama called K-Ramp.
Director Jains Nani attempts a pure love story with some light humor and an ounce of tragedy poured in. It might sound engaging, but the director falters in the execution. The first half constitutes the entire introduction of a carefree hero who is dragged many scenes out and stretches the viewers’ patience. The track with Naresh adds no credibility and appears repetitively dragged out.
The twist at the interval stage is predictable but has interesting moments. While the second half has its ups and downs, one major upside is its emotional strength and chemistry between Kiran and Yukthi. Vennela Kishore’s brief presence brought in laughing and liveliness, standing out as the comic relief. Fairly emotional climax holding skillfully but not so memorable. Good technical aspects, including cinematography and production values, but editing could have been abbreviated.

First half quite dragged

Weak songs and background score
Predictable twist and lag scenes
Poor character casting (Ananya’s overacting being in the forefront)
Although K-Ramp tries to deliver a heart-touching romantic drama, it becomes an uneven ride. Kiran Abbavaram and Yukthi Thareja do shine, yet the done-to-death storyline, slow pace, and not-so-consistent screenplay drag down the film. Some brief comedy by Vennela Kishore simply could not uplift an otherwise mediocre hour and a half.
