Watch Raavan For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Thank you Mani sir, for giving such a landmark movie!!! This is a must watch for people to understand the downfall of an ace director!!! What did Maniratnam think while writing the script??? Are the people so ____ to accept such a thing??? And the lead off-screen pair was a big big miscast, they suited well in Guru, but in this, gone baby, gone!!! The weird make ups of the tribal people were not at all impressive. Vikram was almost fine in his role, but his Hindi accent was still a problem... Govinda was overacting at most of the places... Nikhil Dwivedi and Ravi Kishan were OK-OK... Priyamani was below average.The movie boasts of excellent cinematography, which is the sole grace of the film... Even the music by Rahman is average, 'Khili Re' was the only impressive track....Mani sir, how could you think of such a creation after the classic 'Guru'???? Damn heck downfall!!!On the whole, just one question. "Mani sir, enna kodumai sir ithu...???"Thats it, and for the sake of a rating, 3.5/10

It's very unsettling a feeling when a movie drags and drags without taking the story ahead. I had no great expectations after having seen the trailer. Something in my heart told me this one's not working. The first hour in the theater pretty effectively proved so. It was going nowhere. The crux of the first 60 minutes is really just Beera (Abhishek) kidnapping the police inspector's wife Ragini (Aishwarya) and ill treating her. Why? You have to sit and endure (i.e., if you manage to last) until the second leg of the movie to find that out. No exaggerations here, but I saw people leave the theater within the first 45 minutes. It may have been a filmmaker's delight -- the cinematography, the performances, etc. -- but the audience really steps in for some sort of entertainment. Accepted that filming certain shots must have been really tough, but nobody sits out there and wonders what went behind making the film. It's the film we're interested in. The stuff I had to endure, though, made me wonder (there was loads of time to think :D) what was going on in Mani's mind while creating this masterpiece (read: junk) The second half was relatively a breather...for it finally gets to the story. If you like forests, rivers, cliffs, mountains, (130 minutes well spent), watch Raavan! http://eatpraylovemovies.blogspot.com/2010/06/raavan.html

3 points for mani ratnam, thats all.I Wonder how much money big B paid to cast his son, he got zero talent to work with names like Mani ratnam. Yeah he can work in stereotype comedy flicks to entertain the masses or in a side role! I mean c'mon, we are talking about performers not just hillybilly artist like abhishek, how long will he be casted under big banners and fail, how long will his fathers fame will support him to get casted in big roles.If it was not directed by mani ratnam, I would've not wasted my 10 minutes to watch 55 minutes of this crap. Bollywood got some big actors like Shahrukh Khan and Amir khan, then why abhishek ? This is the first time any ratnam's movie have disappointed me .... I even have accepted Salman khan for this role lololol .... thumbs down for such selection of amateur artists in such a big banner movie!

Prerequisite: Must have watched the movie Raavan. As Mani (The Director) puts it, this is a story between the hunted (Ragini), the hunter (Beera), and the haVED (Dev). The movie clearly shows that in the eyes of Ragini, the opinion about Beera is a continuum, moving towards positive shade. But what is the limit of this continuum? Is it mere affection towards Beera or something more? How does Dev's portrayal travels in Ragini's perspective? Does Dev carry "the lovable husband" tag always until the train/trick scene? Although Dev has a negative shade* even before that, we need not assume that Ragini be aware of it, as she was purposely (read cleverly) avoided in/about those instances. So, to answer the key questions above, here is an interpretation of the climax where Ragini waits for and meets Beera. In this scene, Ragini's intent to meet Beera is to clarify/question what Beera said to Dev and why. Beera gives his version of the bridge fight. In the fight, Beera has an upper hand and could have killed Dev, comfortably. He knows that Dev could come back and get him later. But for Ragini's sake he saves Dev. Valuing Ragini more than his life. On the other hand, Dev has been depicted in getting Beera through any means, including by manipulating Ragini. Among these characteristics, obviously Beera is expected to stand out in Ragini's heart. That is the moment of love, the one curbed by Ragini for Beera until, which is emphatically expressed by her in Beera's words, "Buck Buck Buck Buck, Buck Buck!." So, here is where Mani shows that the pendulum (Ragini's dilemma) swing towards Beera. Eventually Beera gets killed, in spite of Ragini's effort to save him. To sum up Beera-Ragini love, when Bee"RA"ends, "RA"gini begins. So, the limit of the continuum is the opening up of the flood gates of LOVE by Ragini towards Beera through "Buck Buck Buck Buck, Buck Buck!".This movie is definitely worth my "Buck Buck Buck Buck, Buck Buck!". So, please check it out in theatres.***** Scenes depicting negative shades of Dev: 1. Hari, the mediator gets killed by Dev. 2. Jamuni's husband when pleading for life (hand) in excruciating pain, being tortured by Dev, than being offered help. 3. Dev's continued association with Hemanth, although the latter is responsible for Jamuni's rape.Some Nu(is)ance allusions to Ramayana? 1. Raptor in Ragin's boat: Garud? 2. Bridge, Ram-Sethu bridge? Dev/Ram/Sethu/Vikram Bridge?*END*
