Raavanan
Cast: Vikram, Santosh Sivan, Aishwarya Rai
Jean reviews
Raavanan, one of the most awaited films of the year! Directed by Mani Rathnam,
Raavanan has released to a lot of expectation. (The film has also released in Hindi as
Raavan).
His verdict: Watch
Raavanan without expectations. Watch it for what it offers and do not look for what you want!
The story: Veera (Vikram), as Raavanan and his elder brother Singam (Prabhu), younger brother Sakkarai (Munna) live in a tribal village. Veera runs his own local government and his followers trust his decision as the final word. He is the strength and identity of the tribe. He is loved and respected by everyone in his community so much so that they are ready to lay down their lives for him!
Dev (Prithviraj), is the special task force Superintendent of Police, along with a forest guard (Karthik) is on the hunt for Veera. His wife Ragini (Aishwarya Rai) accompanies him on his mission. However in one such capture-Veera operation, Veera's sister Vennaila (Priyamani) is captured by the special task force and raped in the police station.
Bitter over the humiliation, Veera kidnaps Ragini and keeps her hostage for two weeks. What happens next is what makes up the movie.
Technically the film has many plus points, the main attraction being the amazing camera work by Santosh Sivan. His shots, angles and presentation are superb. The final fight between Vikram and Prithviraj is very different, with picture-perfect top angle shots and camera movements.
Mani Ratnam has sketched his characters amazingly. Hats off Santosh, you’ve done a splendid job! A R Rahman’s music is classy. Watch it for Mani Ratnam’s direction, Vikram’s performance and the beautiful locations!
