Strictly One Time Watch,Thats what all can be said about this Mani Ratnam's Venture.
Frankly speaking,Raavan does not live upto the expectations.
Abhishek tries really hard to portray the role of the evil but somehow is not so convincing.
Aish does not seem to be scared by Abhi's behaviour.
The script is not so engrossing in the first half but yes the second half is definitely more watchable than the first half.
Vikram falls flat.
Govinda should have avoided the role.
A.R.Rahman is totally wasted.
Overall Raavan can only be watched due to its breathtaking cinematograpy and wonderful ambience.
Thats all and I dont find any other strong reason to watch the movie.
