<span class=normal>Raavan Music Launch<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>It couldnt have got any bigger than this. Lets say this in Mani Ratnam style then - It couldnt have got any real than this. Yes, the Saturday evening saw the best ever music launch for an Indian film to take place on the Indian soil - <a href=../../../../../broadband/video/Movie-Promos/v0GVxy67/3/Teaser-1-Raavan.html target=_blank>Raavan</a>. It was a musical extravaganza packed with live orchestra, vocalists, dancers and chorus, and with maestros presence in the form Gulzaar and A.R. Rahman, the music launch can aptly be described as Epic.<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Mani Ratnam<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>We were seated and waiting with bated breath for the curtains to lift and see the launch take place. But to everyones surprise, we see a beautiful figure walking towards the centre of the stage in a white saree with red and golden borders announcing the quoted World of <a href=../../../../../movies/audiolisting/14148/index.html target=_blank>Raavan</a> launch. Welcome Mrs. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in and as Raghini in Raavan. A perfect host for the evening, she was the one to talk us through the epic journey discovered by the entire cast and crew with the captain of the ship, Mani (as they all love to call him) was right in the middle of the crowd watching his ship sail through the thunderous applause that evening. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>But first was Raghini to have described her side of the story. In her words, Mani puts us through the toughest of situations. So we were welcomed by the leeches, snakes, tough terrains and then he shouts - make it real. Thats Mani for you all. She further adds, Working with Mani isnt just a pleasure and a challenge. It is much more than that. The first time I was briefed about Raavan was when I was dancing in the rain song in Guru. Who wouldve thought that Mani was fielding Raavan in his head while making Guru?</span>
