Mani Ratnam’s latest ‘Raavan’ may not be clear to the common audience but connoisseurs of quality cinema had lapped this up. It might be boring for so called new age critics whose understanding of cinema is limited up to ‘Housefull’ and are awed by underwater shots of a film like ‘Blue’; who have no idea or don’t accept the fact that cinema is also a medium that tells a story of the prevalent times and it’s a mirror image.
Genius filmmakers have reflections of the society in their cinema and Mani’s ‘Raavan’ is the interpretation of ‘Ramayana in today’s times, many have not accepted that Ramayana can be told in such a way and their ignorance is finding unreasonable reasons for their lack of understanding.
Mani says, “Everybody has the right to express his opinion, Amitji should have conveyed me whatever he wanted to say, he has my cell no, anyways am bothered about the opinions of the rasikas and rasikas everywhere had appreciated it.”
Yes we agree, with Mani ‘Raavan’ is a movie which tells how Indian cinema should be by tomorrow.
The movie is brilliant in every aspects and the editing is top class.
It’s high time that Bollywood & its ipod generation critics need to grow up asap.
