Today I watched Ravanan and my verdict is that it’s a Santosh Sivan movie which should be clearly enjoyed in a big screen not @ home. Santosh Sivan’s cinematography is @ it’s best and has captured nature @ its best.
I have already mentioned it’s a cinematographers movie and the story line purely based on Ramayana with a little twist for the current age, lets get to the story. Although it’s a know story line and trying to repackage it is quiet hard, but Mani Ratnam has already did this kind of repackaging in a successful way for movies like Thalapathi, Iruvar but this time it wasn’t up to the mark.
Pros:
- Cinematography.
- Supporting Cast, be it Karthik, Prabhu, Munna, Prithiviraj and Priyamani do their limited roles perfectly.
- ARR BGM’s.
- Vikram’s acting, not his best though, reminds me of pithamagan.
- locations.
Cons:
- The most important, you jump in to the movie @ the beginning itself , there is no concept of building up the story. Unless you have the patience to watch the second half, you will be wondering why the hell I came to this movie and wondering if there is any story in the movie.
- Suhasini’s dialogues. Sujatha is really missed in this department, he could have pulled off the movie.
- Zero comedy, this movie is a total drama. So most people looking for a masala flick, should really stay away.
- ARR songs, as if he was sleeping while composing some songs.
The first Con I believe is the reason for all the bad reviews and spreading a bad review about the movie.
Don’t expect a Mani Ratnam movie, then you can enjoy it in theater.
BTW my friends who watched the previous show mentioned it was worst than Aasal movie (all time crap), so I went in to watch a movie worst than Aasal. May be that’s why I liked the movie
