At last, I got an opportunity to watch Ravanan. There were so many reviews and so much analysis done on this movie, I thought I better watch it before I get hear another crazy analysis or a review dissecting this movie.
The movie was engaging throughout, but for some reason, I just couldn't get it. Mani Ratnam, one of the big and talented directors in Indian cinema left me wondering what the hell he was trying to say! The dialogues were so outdated that I felt like I was back in the 80s again. I don’t think the actors themselves understood what the movie was trying to convey. The movie was beautiful like its actress Aishwarya Rai, but had no life like the actress, who really did her best to emote and just couldn’t; Drawing analogy to Ramayana literally!!! Seriously!!? The less said about the background score, the better.
Some folks seem to be analyzing this movie so much that it will leave Mani wondering if he really did think of the things these folks seem to be thinking he did. God and Mani are the only two people who know what they were trying to convey and whatever that is, I am depressed that I wasted 2 hours of my time. I fast forwarded some songs to cut the viewing even shorter and even that didn't help :-(
Note: Here’s a funny parody on Ravanan. Enjoy!

As far as Endhiran’s music is concerned, I just have 2 questions:
Why Rahman (ARR)? Why?
