Forget Raavan...I know my review wasn't a total positive one.....but for this one...I AM GONNA GIVE A THUMB'S UP!.....rather TWO thumbs' up!!!! The movie Raavan wasn't made for Hindi...it was an out and out Tamil film.....the dialogs...the performance and the songs.....was totally perfect in the Tamil one... Unlike in the hindi version where abhishek Bachchan sucked as BEERA & so did Vikram's HINDI fail to sync with his expression......in Tamil......VIKRAM rocks as VEERA and PRITHVIRAJ never looked better....wow! awesome performance by everyone....even Karthik Muthuraman, prabhu & Priyamani played his role smartly.... The music sounded very much perfect & so were the dialogues able to catch the imagery of d viewer.... The Hindi version fails coz of 3 reasons - Abhishek's over expressive under-acting Vikram's poor Hindi dialog delivery Dialogues that aren't powerful enough The Tamil version clicks coz of - Awesome dialogues Prithvi

Its a fun wedding song...that's got every drumbeat in the world to go along with it.....you can feel your feet move dhig..dhag.....do! Starts with a trumpet/shehnaish rythm (the tamil version uses a nadaswaram instead of shehnai)......slowly followed by drums being beaten mercilessly to give that thumping sound of a perfect tribal wedding bash!.............and u so wanna dance to it!.... The song is sarcastic ballad on the age-old Indian satire of the Indian groom and his last night as bachelor....where he is compared to a Goat that's being groomed for slaughter...:P.....lol...thats what is the condition of a groom on the eve of his wedding! After tying the knot of matrimony he's doomed to b bound for life....kiddin! (nothing like that...well...I hope so...;)...) The video...is as energe

The excitement around Raavan stimulates as the official website reveals a synopsis of the movie. According to the site :- Raavan is not a story, it is a world. Beera Munda - Undisputed, Unlawful, Untamed Dev Pratap Sharma - The Punisher; the Law, the Righteous Ragini - Conscience, Beauty; Music Dev falls in with Ragini, a spunky classical dancer who is as unconventional as him. They get married and he takes up his new post in Lal Maati, a small town in northern India. A town where the world of law is not the police but Beera, a tribal who has, over the years, shifted the power equation of the place from the ruling to the have-nots of the area. Dev knows that the key to bringing order to any place is not to vanquish the big fish; in this case - Beera. In one stroke Dev manage to rip open Beera's world, and set in motion a change of event which will claim lives, changes fortune. Beera, injured but enraged hits back starting a battle that draws Dev, Beera and Ragini

You saw the Hindi version....now sit back...n get ready for the tamil version of Raavan....... RAAVANAN......Vikram dons the role of Veera.......the man with 10 minds.....a hundred names.................... The best part of the teaser is the ending...where Vikram exclaims...." PATHU THALAI.......RAAVANAN"......(10 heads....raavan!) somehow...I feel that Vikram's VEERA would be much more energetic than Abhishek's BEERA........

Its pathetic Its ok.....average stuff Its awesome!    REFLECTIONS A very soulful track that can haunt you for days and nights....Karthik's silky voice leaves u nowhere...but surrendered! U will go weak in the knee.....beautifully rendered along with Mohammad Irfan....well... the begining of the song has been chosen as the theme for Raavan's official website ....so that makes it even more enthralling....gives an idea of a serious track themed around grief..... the track has a very south indian feeling to it. ...and the Metal breakthroughs really make this song sound Unorthodox and full of SOUL......................I saw the trailor of the track yesterday on television...WOW!....even more enthralling....I mean....It had the feeling of a Hollywood blockbuster to it....kinda INDI-GOTHIC!.....a deadly Abhishek eloping a wet Aishwarya t
