Raavanan - Tamil : Movie Review


Movie : Raavanan

Cast : Vikram , Aishwarya Rai Bachchan , Prithivi Raj , Prabu Ganesan , Karthik Muthuraman , Priyamani

Director : Mani Ratnam

Music and Background Score : A R Rahman

We didn't have any such plans to go to the movie, as my roomie's bro was in town we planned to go any flick and found no tickets available for any flick in bookmyshow.com

It was heavily raining in hyderabad on friday night and dunno when they opened the show for 10:15 p.m in Prasads , we booked ticket for Raavanan right then.

Due to heavy down pour , no cab was available, to try the luck we waited for auto's , no one was interested to travel 20kms to Prasads from our place. At last we got into a bus @ 9:30 and reached mehdipatnam @ 10 after 10 mins struggle we got into an auto and reached our seat at Prasad's Screen 2 @ 10:30p.m.

OMG first 15 mins of the flick already gone.Veera song is done, Ash was kidnapped and she has dialect with Vikram and flies off from the cliff.

Usserae Pogudhae starts playing.. man kudos to the cinematographer for picturising and visualizing the scenes.Awesome location and camera men has done their best.

Songs and background score is cool. Vikram lived as Veeraiya and the way he falls in love with Ash , whom he kidnapped to kill is well said.

Dunno why the director has concentrated more on Raavan and not in Ram (Prithivi Raj), he loses the stage to the performance of Raavan and Ash.

Prabu's innocent angry brother character is well played. Karthik at some places overacted and stood up to the character Hanuman.

Ranjitha gets a loud applause compared to the lead stars, blessings of Nityananda :P

Priyamani's character is not so touching and she has done her part well though given very limited scenes to perform.

Vikram,MACHO MAN, the well built Raavanan, steals the entire show. Though negative has a positive within. He has done his part well still his moves are not that power packed.

Ash, Gorgeous Sita, steals the show and the heart from Raavan, brilliant performance,excellent moves.

Prithivi Raj, Ram , highly duty consious, loves to kill Vikram beyond rescuing Ash.

Vairamuthu, ARR - splendid work.

Mani Ratnam - not an usual Mani's Flick, a good flick beyond the holes in logic and story line, a different flick as usual but not that touching as his earlier movies.

Though there is lots of logic missing in the movie, everyone has done their part well.

Gotta see the movie in hindi to check out Junior Bachchan's Performance.

Gotta check out whether which Raavan is best , the Raavan from the South or North ;)

Also , the telugu version "Villian" , coz telugu people doesn't like sad ending (or) hero being killed , now who is the hero :-|

NOM : Veg Sandwich @ Prasads, sucks:P
