Its astonishing to see a writer of Ranjiths stature touch such deplorable depths as he does in Loham, with a screenplay that almost makes a mockery of the one hundred and forty minutes of running time that the film has. With a story that is literally non existent, Loham is a whole lot of commotion signifying almost nothing. When Jayanthi (Andrea Jeremiah) lands in the city of Cochin, looking for her missing husband who is a customs officer, she hails a cab and makes an acquaintance with a cab driver who is a charmer all the way. Raju (Mohanlal) as he is called, even makes her dosas and bowls her over with his chutney that transforms her opinion of him.
