Back Home after watching this years most anticipated movie Raavanan(Tamil,Vikram,Prithviraj,Aishwarya Rai),Mananged to get tickets for the noon show itself.After a long gap,I am a writing a Movie review here.

Raavanan,can be said as the movie for which Maniratnam efforted the most in his career,had an attack before the shoot and after all the long time period of 2 years, Raavan(Hindi) and Raavanan(Tamil ) was able to release in India in 2k+ theaters

Plot( No spoilers,Read On)

Raavanan is the story of the  revenge of Veera(Vikram) against Deva(Prithviraj) who was responsible for the death of Veera’s sister (Priyamani).Veera Kidnaps Deva’s wife Raagini(Aishwarya rai) and the story advances.The movie is a mere adaptation of Ramayanam and Vikram,Prithviraj,Aishwarya Rai,Karthik can be considered as the representation of Raavanan,Rama,Seetha and Hanuman(But Ramayanam is not fully adapted,just has the mere traces in characters and storyline )

Performances

Vikram delivered a mind blowing performance as Veera,he was convincing Physically as well as Performance wise.Hopefully this should the best performance of Vikram till date.

Aishwarya Rai( looked beautiful and sexy)  and Prithviraj would  just pass on performance wise.Priyamani was short but delivered top notch performance.

Why should you Watch Raavanan?

So why should you watch Raavanan? As the promo trailers indicated the movie is visually top class,Photography was being amazing.All the jungle,waterfalls was being taken brilliantly,I wondered whether these places were there in India or not!Lots of scenes especially the hanging bridge scene in the climax  took my breath away.

Positives

1.The movie is a 2.10 hours of visual Feast,you will be glued on to the seats ,eyes wide open just because of the beautiful Visuals taken by Maniratnam,Santosh Sivan and Manikandan.

2.Vikram is at his best,Dialogue Delivery and physical getup makes him perfect for Veera.Prabhu and Priyamani was also good.

3.Songs done by A R Rahman is not great but good to hear.

What didn’t work for Raavanan?

1.The script lacks Completion or Perfection,The intimacy between Veera and Ragini didn’t work that well.

2.Climax could have been much better(Lots of options were there for the climax)

3.Ar Rahman movies always contained great background scores  and  Raavanan rises out as an exception.

Verdict

Dont mind the inital reviews,Just go for Raavanan and you will get 2.30 hours of Visual treat.

3.8/5

(It much deserves 4 star,but the climax, even though not bad could have been better.So 3.8/5)

NB: And the fans association attacks continues(Was not able to hear anything for the first 10 minutes.)

വി എസ് വചനങ്ങള്‍

Today morning an  idea struck on  to my mind, suddenly got on to my blog editor and started writing.

About some famous quotes of the most funny Chief Minister in India(May be of world!)

പൂച്ച കറുത്തതാണെ‍ലും വെളുത്തതാണെ‍ലും എലിയെ പിടിച്ചാല്‍ മതി

His famous words to K Suresh Kumar,the officer who was in charge of the Moonnar Operation.And he made his clear intention in the Moonnar Agenda and thereby got a heroic image(Some  efforts were taken by Kp Rajendran but  VS got the entire credit.

ഭദ്രാനന്ദന്‍ കിദ്രാനന്ദന്‍

You all might know Swami Himaval Bhadranandan,The man who became famous within 2 or 3 hours(Incidents in police station),Even though a nutty rascal,it was an insult to him.

മാധ്യമ സിന്‍ഡിക്കേറ്റിനെ ആക്ഷേപിക്കുന്നവര്‍ തന്നെ അതിനെ ആശ്രയിക്കുന്നു

This time it was againts his co-partner Pinarayi Vijayan.Pinarayi came against the media with the  words Madhyama Syndicate and VS responded as the above quotes or he said pinarayi is depending the media itself to publicize his opinion Madhyama Syndicate.Both of them got banned from the

Polit bureau  as a result!

അതിനൂതനമായ Pendrive സാങ്കേതിക വിദ്യ

You all might know about the  man ,i dont know his name who tapped the results of SSLC through his pendrive and as usual VS responded to this act.

“അതിനൂതനമായ Pendrive സാങ്കേതിക വിദ്യ”

This was the definition given to a Pendrive by VS.Even small kids know the working principle of a Pendrive and what all components are there in a  pendrive.. hehe.it was okay if he said this 7 years before

ഞാന്‍ ഒരു പഴഞ്ഞ്ജനാണ്

This time i think he is right!
വെറുക്കപെട്ടവന്‍

One of the most controversial word uttered by VS.The real estate giant Faris Aboobecker was called so by VS,later Faris came on to the stage and trashed VS and the other CPM ministers ,His style and Frankness was wonderful and  he got the youth support (VS again turned into a fool!)

Shave  ചെയ്യാതെ താടി വന്നപം സ്വാമി ആയി

Two shots in one trigger (one  to Himaval bhadranandan(i’ve mentioned above) and the next one to the Notorious Santosh Madhavan in the same speech.

പട്ടി പ്രയോഗം

“If that wasnt the Home of Sandeep no one including a dog will come there”

The Latest one and this time- a tragic experience to the comic man.Very good words to console a man who is in the agony of losing his son.It  was too pathetic and we all saw  how much a CM can go down.

Hold your breath lot more stuffs to come from this 85 year old -man get ready to laugh and die…
