Raavan_Raavanan

The most awaited film of the year,From India’s finest directors,huge star cast,AR Rahman.. but still Raavanan was disssssapointing.

Just as Thalapathy the Rajini starrer, was a takeoff on Karna’s story set in modern times, Raavanan/Raavan is.

There are two things that standout in the film.One is vikram’s acting and the other is Santhosh Sivan’s camera.

Though Vikram’s character seems to be inspired from the ‘Joker’ played by Heath ledger in The Dark Night, it is impressive ,a lot better than AB.

Santhosh Sivan’s camera is outstanding in capturing the exotic locales .The angles , lighting and the scene where ‘dev’ burns the faces in the newspaper cut-out,does worth a mention.

Other than these there are no other stuff worth mentioning about.Karthik /Ravi kishen have been wasted.Prabhu/Govinda have done their job.

Prithiv Raj is commendable.Priyamani,though comes only for 10 min ,is impressive and plays surpanakai’s character.

Aish does look gorgeous but the close up shots makes her age get noticed.!

[Tamil Version].The only time i heard whistles(thanks to chennai crowd) was when our infamous Ranjitha appears on screen.I seriously dont know what she was doin in the film.Comes only for 3 shots Max.

Ar Rahman failed to impress. One bgm sounds good.The song Usure Poguthey aka behene de has been wasted and comes in the most unimportant time of all.

Mani’s screenplay is gud as usual, but fails to bring out the multi layer’d relationships, which he normally does with ease. The climax is good but expected.

Peter hein’s stunts are goood. The climax fight in the bridge worth mentioning.

There’s just one difference between Raavan and Raavanan, but that’s a major one and that is Vikram.AB fails to impress and so the whole movie is boring.

So the bottom line is Raavan_Raavanan_Mani_Aish_Ab_Vikram_prthivi_priyamani_karthik_Kishen_prabhu_govinda_

_SanthoshSivan_Arr_ORDINARY.

vikram and santhoshSivan= Extraordinary… everything else just ordinary and Nothing new… Raavanan..!

Raavan - 1.5/5

Raavanan - 2.5/5

Ps: I’m a Manirathinam fan.
