Tagged as the modern-day Ramayana, Raavanan
seems like a justifiable
replica in terms of the storyline. The fourteen-year vanavaasa period of Ramayana shrunk to fourteen days
appears remarkable. With brilliant cinematography, commendable acting and music being the pluses, lack of fine tuning looks like a major drawback. The forest dweller setting taken on purpose, ineffectively tries to reveal the quality of life of the people. Is the director attempting to focus on yet another issue, like the Babri masjid affair of
Bombay, Kashmir problem of
Roja, the Lankan spotlight of
Kannathil Muthamittaal ? May be not. Being one of the much spoken films of the year so far, it is time to wait and
observe the impact this trilingual release has created.
Thats an upright and honest review despite the conditions in which it was watched on screen.
