I will not compare Raavan with Ramayana beacause, Ramayana has great characters which cant be compared. Coming to the Plot of Raavan, Beera (Abhishek) a Leader of some downward caste and hates police men and starts punishing them like anything.
On the Process, he kidnaps the Wife of local SP Dev (Vikram) and her name is Raagini (Aish).
Dev starts the search for his wife, on the way he gets the help of Sanjeevani (Govinda) and will he succeeded in getting her wife back makes the rest of the story.
Even though story is simple, Maniratnam makes his mark in narrating it. Cinematography by Santosh Sivan and Manikandan are extraordinary. we cant see these kind of visuals in a normal Indian Cinema. Locations are outstanding with thick forests and large waterfalls. Music and Background score by A R Rahman are excellent.
Coming to the performances Aishwarya has more scope to perform and she did an outstanding job. Abhishek did a good job as Beera, he has peculiar mannerism like "Bak Bak Bak...".
Vikram and Govinda are good in their roles. Priyamani gave her best in her role, even though her role is limited but the key role for the movie.
Highlights :
1. Performances of Aish and Abhi
2. Cinematography
3. Music
4. Locations
Don't Expect a movie before seeing it, cause everyman has his own thinking..but finally, only one man will direct the movie.
My Rating: 3.5/5
