Nice review...

I believe there is an underlying theme in the movie about "victor's justice" that Mani tried to break.

Mani also questions the belief

"if Deva does something, it must be right" -- and he asks as... "really?"

Excellent movie!

sorry, couldn't disagree with you more. makes me wonder whether we are referring to the same movie.
VERY good effort tho on the review, just goes to show each has its own taste.

If you hoped (like me) Mani Ratnam would improve on his film making, move away from usual stereotypes, and be bold enough to challenge ingrained stereotypes, forget all about it when it comes to Ravan(an)!

In his lately well-established trend, he chooses not 1 but 2 well-known stories and fuses them for his storyline! The film is thus a peculiar tale of Ramayan(a) meets Veerappan and the utterly unoriginal plot and role portrayals flit from one story to the other.

Combine this with 'tableau' like scenes, ultra theatrical unconvincing dialogues, 2 dimensional uninspiring characters, cringe worthy acting and ill timed comedy for the most part, and unremarkable music.

There is some obvious symbolism of characters (Karthik / Govinda as Hanuman, ‘Veera’s 2 brothers for ‘large’ Kumbakaran(a) and ‘wise’ Vibheeshan(a)), scenes (array of stones where Ragini calls out to her husband akin to bridge built by Ram(a) to reach Lanka), dialogue references (number 14 depicting Ram(a)’s banished years in the forest) and colours (ill-reputed black for ‘Veera’ and auspicious white / yellow / red for ‘Ragini’).

The only redeeming features were the beautiful scenery of Kerala and Aishwarya's costumes!

What a disaster! He couldn't have done worse if he'd tried...

2010-05-20T02:05:34.529+05:30

hi guys please don't misunderstand my comments. I am person who watched movies selectively after hearing peoples comments.

But I made a mistake by watching this movie in the first week.

firstly i would like to tell the director and script stuffed that you have a good future in TAMIL and TELUGU film industry, please don't spoil the malayalam film industry by making movies like this. Please understand the unique culture of Kerala before making a malayalam movie.

Secondly, Mr Mamooty, you have a very good reputation as an actor, but you have failed to keep up your reputation.Your performance in this movie was pathetic,its all the same formula which you have used in all your so called ''comedy'' movies.

Prithviraj also was quite ordinary.you had performed well in 'puthiya mugham ' but that does not mean you should selected only action oriented roles.

Its time for the senior actors (all superstars) in malayam to be selective in choosing movies.

PLEASE COME UP WITH MovieS THAT REPRESENT THE CULTURE OF KERALA AND THAT CAN BE WATCHED BY FAMILY AUDIENCE.

Nowadays Malayalees approach to films are degraded. They are looking for only these type of films. If the producer wants his Money back, he need to do this type of films. Otherwise his condition will be pathetic than the so called classic films.

If you are a producer and spend money, you will also try to get our money back and profit, then we look for standard classic films.
