Here's a short pointer to you before you buy the ticket. This review may be lost in the ocean of views which the public will put forth in a few days. Anyway, here goes. Did Raavan reach our expectations? Not even close. Actually, it's miles below a average movie. Oh yes, it was colorful like many of our friends suggested. Eye- pleasing visuals, rocking music or crisp editing need not make a movie watchable. Looks like this movie is a towering example of my point. You need to have a flawless script, where the characters in the movie are elevated to many layers. That should imply that Raavan is absolute nonsense. It is a pessimistic point of view of an epic.If someone can highlight few less eminent incidents in the epic 'Ramayana' like the Soorpanaka chapter or Rama's inherent doubts, just to make Raavan great, it is blasphemy. Evil blown out of proportion. And please; these views are not less 'intellectual'. When someone twists facts to fit one's theories, even Ayn Rand or Nietzche won't pacify with them. Do yourself a favor, do NOT watch Raavan. Forget that such a movie ever released and carry on. P.S. Mani Rathnam, here's an advice. Please retire gracefully or watch your beautiful films again a hundred times.Man,you let us down.
