A modernized tale of the Hindu Epic Ramayana, it put me at awe how well an age-old mythical story was transcribed into current times. Hats off to the director Mani Ratnam – such a magnum opus was possible only by a director of his calibre. Like always I don’t want to let out too much information, but to provide just a synopsis – Raavan is a story of Beera (Abhishek Bachchan), a voracious leader of a village clan that has been ill-treated by police force and ignored by the general Government. Owing to the continuous oppression, he decides to kidnap Ragini (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) – the wife of DSP Dev (Vikram). To find Beera, Dev and team have to penetrate the dangerous and labyrinth of a jungle for which they use the skill and support of eccentric forest officer Sanjeevni (Govinda). What follows is a cat and mouse game of chase. Can you see the similarities between the characters of Raavan and Ramayan? Very clearly scripted and executed. I am not a big fan of either Abhishek or Aishwarya Rai, but I must say Raavan is one of their best work. Even though the role of Beera has been portrayed loudly by Abhishek, it doesn’t feel out of place and is very likable. Aishwarya not only does what she’s best at, which is looking pretty – but she does it in spite of hardly any make up. To top it all, she gives a very memorable performance as well. You feel for Ragini’s helplessness and hurt. Vikram has done well as the stern, no nonsense DSP. Govinda’s role has shades of comedy and is fun to watch. These powerful performances have been backed well by Ravi Kishan and Nikhil Dwivedi as well. Cinematography is breath-taking. Santhosh Sivan has once again proved his mettle considering that the locales were not very inhabitant friendly!!! Special effects are effective. Music by A.R. Rahman might not be like his usual chartbuster kinds but is highly situational. You will be forced to hum the music while walking out of the theatre. But Raavan has its share of flaws as well. First half of the movie moves at a sluggish pace, taking full speed post interval. Cinema-goers who enjoy music, dance and masala might find Raavan a bit boring. Also, the sudden transformation of Dev’s character from the loving doting husband to the suspicious male chauvinist is nothing but sudden!!! Bar all that – Raavan is nothing but a treat for authentic cinema lovers. I would give it 4 stars on 5. So what are you waiting for? Go get your movie tickets and sit back and enjoy a great piece of art.

Truly speaking I didn't like it, this movie lacks entertainment value, same old revenge story,while watching this movie I felt like it was better to watch rajneeti again rather than wasting 30 dirhams on this,first half is a complete let down the story unfolds little better in 2nd half but still it lacks the punch in fact I felt like real raavan was police who rapes raavan's sister and raavan kidnaps police officer's wife to take revenge but falls in love with her! Also I felt something strange regarding print of the movie which feels blurred at times although cinema was good here in Dubai I think people will go to watch with high expectations but they will be disappointed like what happened with kites big hopes but content was lacking, the only little better thing in raavan is music by a r rehman but songs also come in patches overall a disappointing fare !

The movie is decent, the first half is really very pretty to look at on the big screen and has been shot amazingly well. Must really appreciate the DOP infact there are two and must give them all the accolades of making this film look so amazing. But except that the first half was kinda dull with no story movement, and the second half the story moves ahead but falls flat as the movie turns towards the end. The only conclusion I can say is that this is the new age Ramayan with sita falling for raavan but with result of never being with him.. abhisheks acting is amazing but if compared to Yuva or Guru not that amazing. aish is good. i felt vikram was useless. ravi kissan was nice. govinda wasted. my verdict : NOT FOR MASSES. more like DIL SE and YUVA not like Guru

I am back after watching raavan and raavanan. Sorry to say i am bit disappointed watching the movie.Nothing great about the movie. Good cinematography. Acting wise Raavanan Team scores over Raavan Team. Raavan will be looser at the Bollywood Box Office but Raavanan will be sure shot winner at Kollywood Box Office. You don't get the feel in the hindi dialogues but tamil dialogues was good. ACTING COMPARISON VIKRAM SCORES OVER ABHISHEK AS RAAVAN/RAAVANAN AISHWARYA WAS OK AS RAGINI PRITHIRAJ AND VIKRAM ON PAR AS DEV KARTHIK BETTER THAN GOVINDA PRABHU DYNAMIC THEN RAVI KISSAN OTHERS NOTHING WORTH TO SAY ABOUT

ARE u a drama freak than this movie is for you.it gives the film of a drama.the movie starts on the high and dark note.but its great to watch the performaces.it explains the ramayan in a modern way.whats great its on raavans point of view.ragini gets the most screen space both with dev and beera.but the best is yet to come its dev the scene stealer.the south indian star is fit and well versed in hindi quite unexpextedly.go for this movie and u wont be dissappointed.
