Raavan Reviews

The filmmaker seems inspired by so many things at a time that he forgets to retain his own USP. There is no punch in the script which doesn’t rise above clichés, no tenderness in the love between Dev and Ragini and no depth to Ragini or Dev’s character as they come across as silent spectators to Beera’s eccentric antics. The ten facets of Beera’s personality too doesn’t stand out.

The film moves you only when Abhishek and Priyamani come to picture. Both actors act superbly and infuse soul into this otherwise lifeless drama. Abhishek walks away with the main role and does a good job as he gets into the skin of his character very well. Wish his character would have been written better.

Ash holds one disgruntled expression on her face throughout and so does Vikram.

The film can be watched for its brilliant cinematography by Santosh Sivan and V Manikandan. Jungles, waterfalls, rains...have never looked so beautiful in a Hindi film before nor has a de-glam Ash in an extreme close up.

Music by AR Rahman is mesmerizing. Behne De, Ranjha Ranjha and Beera Beera are tracks that grow on you and are capable of being listed in Rahman’s all-time hits.

Outfits by Sabyasachi go perfectly with the theme of the film.

We assume Mani Ratnam went through a writer’s block this time around which is natural for creative geniuses of his calibre. We hope he regains his brilliance that gave us Roja, Bombay, Guru and Yuva.

The story makes you delve into the psyche of Beera who considers himself to be the sole owner of the lush flora surrounded with gushes of backwaters and swift flowing lakes and ponds, doing things which are morally justified but stand against laws!

Veer, the cop tries to over-shadow Beera’s supremacy over such activities by threats. Beera’s anger boomerangs Veer by abducting his wife-Ragini. The story moves on with streams entangled with revenge and love, lust and betrayal. Along with the wrangle between the two protagonists, we also can have our eyes stuck at the spectacular tussle between a wife’s mind and a women’s heart!

As the caption of the Movie reads-“Ten Heads, Ten Minds, Hundred Voices and ONE Man”… is aptly justified in regards to its story line as well as to the epical name with its stunning depiction of the different flavors of the human aspects!
