Raavanan


Last week I watched the movie Ravanan (Tamil). Though I wanted to watch the Hindi version due to lack of ability to understand Tamil, I really thought that watching Vikram as Ravan was better than watching Abhishek in the same role.

The movie, as everybody knows is highly visually appealing. Based on The Ramayana, the story is set in the modern day where Dev is an encounter specialist and Ragini, his wife. He sets out to capture Vira, who is a tribal Robinhood, and in the process, series of events lead up to the death of Vira's sister. Enraged Vira kidnaps Ragini and then the actual Ramayana starts. The movie brilliantly portrays the silent feelings of Vira and Ragini for each other.

The story line is very thin but yes, you really watch it to see the beauty of the shots. Vikram does portray a strong character and so does Aishwarya. Prithviraj looks good has definitely done a lot of homework and hard work for the character.

A one time worth watch at the theater for its visual treat!
