The plus point of the movie is cinematography, acting and the last 15 minutes . It's okay and goes with the film smoothly. A note on the music - AR Rahman is not at his best.but cannot say it was bad. The characterization is so weak we never get time to realize the good has turned evil and vice versa or is it because it was so obvious from all the promos. And those 15 minutes is the only part in the whole movie that show "some" shades of Mani Rathnam direction. Second half proves better because of the short stint of Priyamani on screen and the final 15 minutes of the movie. By the interval time we feel exhausted at all that has happened but still we realize nothing has moved along. The screenplay and dialogues penned by Suhasini Mani Rathnam does not show any ease or effectiveness probably because the story line is weak. But all this taken, at the end, we find the story to be clichéd and hope that the screenplay would have been better. Priyamani with her small cameo has given a memorable performance. Prabhu and Karthick have utilized their time on screen portraying their characters with ease and subtlety. He has given a nice performance along with the other big names. Prithiviraj as the tough cop has really matured into a fine actor. It is a wonder we see such talent and beauty together and that is Aishwarya Rai though her beauty is not of any relevance in the "plot" she has scored with a good performance. His performance is one of the highlights of the movie and which makes it watchable. Vikram is like a vengeful monster who has kidnapped wife of the God-like figure on earth to settle a personal score. They have given one of their finest performances. The acting of Vikram and Aishwarya Rai has to be applauded. It seems like the crux of the whole movie lies on the camera work. The new Mani Rathnam has not provided anything interesting in this movie. Style alone cannot pace a thriller forward. The old Mani Rathnam had style and substance in his direction but now what remains is just the style. His direction has not proved anything with this movie. This is not a bad film but it is clearly not what I expected from a Mani Rathnam film. But watching this film with the same enthusiasm I felt robbed off all my money I wasted on the tickets. There was a time when I watched Nayakan, Iruvar, Roja, Dalapathy all with great enthusiasm and what I received from these movies were really great satisfaction as a movie buff. The story moves on when the monstrous Veera starts a liking for Ragini. The rest of the story revolves around the Dev trying to rescue his wife with the help of Gnanapraksham (Karthick), a forest guard. But soon something happens (revealed only in the second half) that makes Veera so revengeful that he kidnaps Dev's wife, Ragini (Aishwarya Rai). To assist him there is Singarasu (Prabhu) and Chakkarai (Munna), his brothers. He rules with his own laws and methods and this angers the police but are unable to do anything to capture him. SP Dev (Prithviraj) is on the look out for Veera (Vikram), a notorious tribal lord, a Robin Hood for many. At the end of the movie, after witnessing the glorious work of the cinematographer, especially the climax scenes, we sense something missing altogether and the truth beckons on us that there is no credible storyline to the whole affair. Coming back to the story, we find nothing new added to the epic except for the fact that the good has now turned evil and vice-versa. Santosh Sivan and Manikandan have so effectively captured the beauty of the southern forests in the most mesmerizing manner. What moved the movie along was the cinematography. But watching the movie, I realized the story was never the center of attraction neither the direction of the maestro. That is what I expected when I went to watch Raavanan. Dalapathy starring Rajnikanth and Mamootty is the finest example. We know Mani Rathnam can handle epics quite easily and can twist it quite interestingly.
