Just 3 days to go for the much awaited movie of the year, Raavanan and Raavan. The star cast boasts of some of the biggest names of Indian cinema which includes Abishek Bachan, Aishwarya Rai Bachan and Vikram which shows why this is the most awaited movie of the year, but the reason behind so much expectation atleast for me is the director, Maniratnam. He is been one director who explores in to different subjects with every movie. Starting from Mounaraagam till Guru, all his movies were different in theme, story and the screen play. Its not just the stories and screenplays but his ability to bring out the best from each of his technicians makes him stand apart. One cannot distinguish who the better actor was in Mounaragam. If you feel Karthik’s cameo was the highlight of the movie, then Mohan’s performance was subtle. Who would have dared to cast two of the biggest names of southern industry, Rajinikanth and Mamooty. If that is not enough, take the case of Anjali which deals with the life of a mentally disabled child. What will happen if this guy joins hands with the greatest actor of our generation, Kamal Haasan. The result would be Naayagan, one of the greatest movies of all time. After working with likes of Ilayaraja,Rajinikanth and Mamooty, who would be ready to work with newcomers? This man believed in his story and screenplay and the result was Roja with Arvind Swamy and Madhubala, both new comers to the film industry and also marked the entry of A.R.Rahman in to the world of cinema. The kind of subjects he has handled, I bet no one would have handled in their entire career which sets him apart from other directors. This is why Raavan and Raavanan are eagerly anticipated. It’s been a month since the music was released and still topping the charts. There is no parallel for this man. He is a genius and very few can make it to elite list of directors and he is the one. So viewers be ready for Raavanan (Raavan) and am sure your money will not go to the drain. It would certainly be a movie worth watching.
