I saw Raavan much later than the rest of the world and actually came out with different opinion than the rest of the world. It is one of the most spectacularly shot movie I've seen in Indian cinema (after Dev D i guess)
I tried hard but could not call it a bad movie as much as i tried to agree my friends opinion. The storyline was definitely aimlessly drifting and slow for the most part. It would have been a brilliant one if the weaving of the story was more seamless and less drag. As it is the viewers, would know the basic plot of the movie before entering the movie halls.But the endearing crazyness of Raavan;s character was a treat.
I was so glued to the screen due to sheer magic of photography created by Santosh Sivan. Kudos to the creative team and directors of cinematography and photography. The scenes with Aishwarya stuck in the tree after falling from waterfall and her slow drop to the waters was breathtaking and simply beautiful.
Even in the storyline there are patches of brilliance.. and the new take on Ramayan where Raavan doesn't look like a villain to even the Sita character..
A couple of things we'd remember from the movie... very well written characters by Ratnam... Abhishek Bachhan's superb acting... Govinda's overacting.. and the unforgettable... absolutely Spectacular photography and just BEAUTIFUL cinematography
As total impact 6.5/10
