A man who comes crossways as bad and menacing can be worshipful in experience.Bad starts seeming fortunate as in the covering of Beera (Abhishek Bachchan).
Beera hides in the dull forests from where he orchestrates his felon activities against the police,a la Veerappan.He ruthlessly kills the policemen and loots their instruments.Going by Beera’s sharp hunting skills and knowledge of the jungle, even the police is now scared of the dangerous outlaw except for SP Dev (Vikram).

Beera kidnaps Dev's wife Ragini (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) and takes her to the jungle. Dev takes the forbear of a rummy biome safety (Govinda) in impose to get game his woman.

Raavan is a film made with good intention, beautiful music and mind blowing cinematography.Mani Ratnam does the modern adaptation of Hindu mythological epic Ramayana with a twist.

Inspired by Vidya Balan’s Bhool Bhullaiyya,Ash screams from the bottom of her lungs when she speaks.The two,screaming at each other when not climbing a rocky mountain or jumping off a cliff.

The dialogues are highly uninspiring.Raavan is no Mani Ratnam signature film at all.There is no punch in the script which doesn’t rise above clichés, no tenderness in the love between Dev and Ragini and no depth to Ragini or Dev’s character. 

Abhishek and Priyamani,both actors act superbly and infuse soul into this otherwise lifeless drama.Abhishek walks away with the main role and does a good job as he gets into the skin of his character very well.

Ash holds one discontented language on her face throughout and so does Vikram.

There is brilliant cinematography by Santosh Sivan and V Manikandan.Jungles, waterfalls, rains...have never looked so beautiful in a Hindi film before.

Music by AR Rahman is mesmerizing.Outfits by Sabyasachi go perfectly.

The most talked about movie has finally hit the screens in three languages.
