Raavan- Directed by Mani Ratnam, is the most aesthetically film made till date. And this might put the commercial audience's faces frown.
Raavan is quite a short film of 2 hours and 10 mins, yet it seems long and twisted.
in the first half of the film, the story doesn't really move further, yet the exotic scenes keep you engaged through out.
And in the second part, one wants to see, if the film is set into real story, yet the film moves slow with some kicks and fights here and there. However the whole story sums up into the last 25 minutes of the film. these last 25 minutes has so much been put in to it, that if one see's these 25 minutes, then one has seen the complete Raavan, except for the aesthetic part of the film.
Though the film is slow, its a pie tart for the art lovers. Since Santosh Sivan's Photography is not just exotic, but totally mind blowing. The background score is very fresh and engaging. Aishwariya is very beautiful, and one wants to see more of her as Ragini. Sanyasachi's Costumes has given the character, the exact look.
A.R Rehmans music is no wonder magical, its lounge as well as foot tapping.
Behne de, and Ranjha sets you in fantasy, at the same time Thok de killi, sets your spirits high.
However Khili Re, was not required in the film.
The slow motion sequences are simply well done.
Ravaan still scores 3 and half stores from my side.
All for Santosh Sivans Photography, Aishwariya's beauty, Background score and A.R Rehmans music.
Only, one big flaw, is that the last minute of the film.The climax could have been better, watch it to know it.
