Ram made his acting debut through his home production,
Athithi directed by
Bharathan. The film received mixed reviews and performed poorly at the box office, with his performance garnering mixed reviews. Deccan Chronicle noted "Debutant Nikesh Ram with his unkempt looks fits the bill and is convincing in a negative role". A reviewer from Behindwoods.com noted "Although the cause of his part is well served, spotting expressions in Ram's face seems to be a hard task". Silverscreen.com's reviewers wrote that Ram "looks the part in dark shirts, chinos and thick-rimmed glasses, but is unconvincing otherwise. His lines sound contrived and forced and don't sound like someone trying to scare the daylights out of you". Ram appeared in a cameo role in
Vishnu's
Velainu Vandhutta Vellaikaaran (2016) . His first Malayalam movie released on 25 May 2018 titled
Mazhayathu directed by
Suveeran. Ram is acting as hero in this movie along with actress
Aparna Gopinath. The Times of India mentioned his acting as "Nikesh Ram puts on a decent performance as a stubborn husband and a doting dad". Mangalam News Paper said "Nikesh Ram did a good job and he could easily satisfy the role of Venugopal in the way it is required Ram starred in
Michaelpatty Raja (2021) directed by Francis S, who was an associate for director
S Shankar. ==Filmography==
