Raavan .. Pak pak pak pak pak pak

Watched Raavan yesterday. Mani is not the same director as before. This is no positive compliment. Poor editing , lack of clarity in the portrayal of characters ,bad narration and other factors... BGM was not soo very impressive too.. except for cinematography.

Scenes in the starting where Aishwarya jumps off the cliff, that , i felt i saw the same thousand times in the movie. Slow motion footage of she raising up from water was like a photoshoot for a super model. Abhishek seemed like manipulating and convincing the audience that Beera is a ten headed, ten faceted person. No naturality in action as can be expected of a Mani ratnam movie.

Govinda's role wasn't appreciable. Whether it was the best way to deal that kinda concept or the initially , seemingly wonderful script ended like that after complete shoot and post production.

Funny, some people who have high regard for Mani Ratnam saying , "U dunno how to watch a Mani Ratnam movie" :-)

Thing is whatever be the movie every audien leaves theatre with some kinda feeling: Happy, sad, anger , disgust, inspiration , screw the film, waste of time and money like that. I felt nothing. Dev shooting Beera, Beera dead, thats all thats it. Now audience, movie's over you can leave now.

Baagi's inspiration

I'm starting this blog after baagi posted her take on vedam. I too have my take on movies, music, people, situations etc., bla bla bla...

This sounds cool to me (may not be to few!!!)
