Going into your negatives, Dev tortures Priyamani's husband is just to show that he is not scared of Veera at any cost even Veera's brother in law has been sent with one handed carrying the part that was cut in the other by Veera himself. <br /><br />Dev killing sakkara is a trap to bring Veera to him for a revenge i,e where he can kill him. Don't think abt raagini because only in the previous scene he decides whether it is Veera or Raagini and finally lands up with Veera.<br /><br />Talking abt relationship because of immense love on Dev only Raagini decides to jump from the cliff instead of Veera killing her conveying that she belongs to Dev and only he has all the rights on her. Again Veera and Raagini, the relationship is perfectly shown where Raagini pities for Veera but not falling in love with him. <br /><br />This is my thoughts. As a whole it is again a worthy mani movie.Kishorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671563038630156632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101696972614159949.post-1672305212335023482010-06-25T20:37:26.113-07:002010-06-25T20:37:26.113-07:00I can appreciate few of the highlights and low lig...I can appreciate few of the highlights and low lights said, blame on my bike. It got punctured and landed half an hour late. :)<br /><br />Cinematography awesome and din realize it was suhasini dialogues until now. now I miss Sujatha. Ranjitha, yes she was a hit.<br /><br />Nice post!Vijeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155433751670204131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101696972614159949.post-13495444674603401122010-06-24T07:57:43.172-07:002010-06-24T07:57:43.172-07:00Good one da Arun..rightly said, lack of picturizat...Good one da Arun..rightly said, lack of picturization when it comes to relationships. Ragini tends to fall for veera which is not picturized in a typical maniratnam's way who is definitlely a specialist in picturizing relationships. <br /><br />@prasad: definitley veera-ragini type of relationships are not dying these days, they are thriving :))) just kidding..<br /><br />i felt the number 14 used too many times..14 years, 14 hours, 14 days, lot of unnecessary references to number 14,obviously referring ramayanam..Ragini is a bold but sort of feminine character.rohini's voice was more 'maleish' for that character, some softer voice would have been apt.rough voice need not convey boldness or agression for a female.movie was too much predictable esp last scenes.though the story is known,when ravanan abducting seethai is justified,when ravanan can save raman in a fight,then why not show a slightly different ending or same ending with different screen play.i also felt positioning of songs were slightly inappropriate.esp usurey pogudhe is a stunning song,very intense,but comes in the movie when vikram just starts liking her.too early... many 'could have made better' type of scenes as well.as rightly said, a decent once-watch movie when seen as a non-mani one.all these are seen as negatives only because its a mani movie.the question still remains.. when will we get to watch a spotless,well made, good tamil movie.. again who knows? people might have seen nayagan as what we see ravanan today and ravanan may be next generation's nayagan :)vikkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086237740944178412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101696972614159949.post-81519913762851043802010-06-24T02:33:26.358-07:002010-06-24T02:33:26.358-07:00@Prasad,

Mani is really good in bringing that one up in d screen. Killing sakkarai is totally acceptable coz dev is little bit confused here as also portrayed by kambar in kamba ramayanam !<br /><br />to ur negative 3 : there is no bonding between veerya n ragini ...thts wat mani wanted :) well this is modern day ramayan :) relationships r dying man....thts wot i observed :) not like good old days !<br /><br />well i totally agree with ur -ve 4.<br /><br />Well i saw this raavanan movie as kamban portrayed ...there is nothing positive abt dev in the second half coz kamban did not see ram as GOD !<br /><br />Final comment: u need courage to handle such an epic today ! Mani handled brilliantly well coz modern day ramayan will be like this in terms of bonding/relationship !Ragavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07451167338945407876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101696972614159949.post-61171890668224649742010-06-24T02:20:08.603-07:002010-06-24T02:20:08.603-07:00U've reflected my thoughts thala..
one other d...U've reflected my thoughts thala..<br />one other drawback is the too obvious relevance to the Epic & to frequent referrals to the same..<br />In Thalabathy or Roja, one need to find the subtle marks to relate the movie to the corresponding epics, but in this one, every other scene has a naked/obvious/intentional relevance..<br /><br />And yes I too feel Dialogues were a major let down..கலைவாணன்https://www.blogger.com/profile/04261906004330884237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101696972614159949.post-87128306360110759832010-06-23T05:25:06.111-07:002010-06-23T05:25:06.111-07:00Echoing srihari's thought that almost all the ...Echoing srihari's thought that almost all the negatives that you have mentioned finally bottles down to dialogues. I wont completely blame suhasini here, mani has a part too :).<br /><br />Don't forget suhasini wrote dialogues for iruvar too which is till now one of the best of mani's films.santoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730722297225844073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101696972614159949.post-56295309455990934062010-06-23T04:36:45.055-07:002010-06-23T04:36:45.055-07:00Nice review & intersting read.. all the drawba...Nice review & intersting read.. all the drawbacks are because of one reason "the dialogues".. Otherwise the rest of the drawbacks would become void..<br /><br />Infact i realised that the visuals were just stunning/astonishing that sometimes we forget to listen to the dialogue or to the BGM.. e.g. the scene where Dev puts his cigarette bud to the photos, when Veera will be talking on the tape.. i just forget to listen to the tape because the screen captured me on the visual front..<br /><br />and last not but the least, Ranjitha had a greater audience among the viewers than Vikram/Aish.. any screeen presence of her was never short of a claps..Sriharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14993341107695126161noreply@blogger.com
