Raavan starts up with the most heard soundtrack (Beera)used to show film credits n cast..the very first scene in the movie & Ragini (Aishwarya Rai) is kidnapped by Beera Munda's (Ahishek) men..Next 45 minutes we just keep watching a tom & jerry rat chase with Aishwarya's husband & Beera Munda sending each other warnings & messages..in between we see an unwanted comedy superimposition in form of Govinda(for old time's sake chichi, if u act like this..better stop acting & concentrate on politics only)..Ravi Kishan, Priyamani team up as Beera's bro & sis..Both are just average & have weak roles..Ravi Kishan almost plays the same role of a psychic mean guy he played in Luck last year.. Till the first half ends Abhishek Bachchan develops a fetish for Aishwarya & even Mani Ratnam's brilliance coupled with their real life chemistry fails to transform or depict this fetish as love.. 2nd half is even duller with Aishwarya screaming & running..some unreal fight sequences & an unrealistic climax where Beera is shown as a nice guy & 'Good Screws & Double Crosses Evil' theme totally freaks you out & makes u wonder why you came 2 watch this movie...why Aishwarya Rai starts weeping & crying over a Beera's Death is beyond understanding & laughable... Mani Ratnam gets a poorly 3/10 for direction & forced song sequences... Abhishek Bachchan gets a paltry 4/10 for trying to be Ravana..trust us Abhi 'ARVIND TRIVEDI IN DOORDARSHAN"S RAMAYAN was a far better act than your supposed super show here! Aishwarya gets a minimal 2/10 for not being up to the standards we expect from her... Govinda 0/10 & sir please stop acting & stay at comedy circus! overall movie rating 1/10...if they had tried a little more...it could have become an average film...right now its a poor poor show...unwatchable at once!
