Raavan - Dee gives this movie a thumbs up.
The trailers shows a very slick production with melodious music, along with an outstanding cast in terms of Abhishek, Aishwarya, Vikram & Govinda.
FYI there are 2 versions of the movie -- a Hindi and a Tamil version. There is not much difference in script except the hero and villian are interchanged. Abhishek plays Raavan in the Hindi version while Vikram plays the dutiful husband only to swap roles in the Tamil version.
In the past, the winning combination of Mani Ratnam & A R Rehman has given us some magical movie and music moments (Roja, Bombay, Dil Se etc). Abhishek Bachchan added to that winning combination gave us movies like Yuva & Guru. If the past is any indicator, Raavan will please the audiences.
A R Rehman lives up to his reputation and once again gives us a musical score that grows on you the more you listen. I definitely loved 'Beera' & 'Behene De' a lot.
Aishwarya looks ethereal and beautiful. Abhishek looks rugged and strong. Vikram, who is a successful Tamil actor, makes his Hindi film debut, turning in a solid performance.
Based on the trailer, the plot line, the outstanding cast and the associated buzz with this movie, I would give it a thumbs up but would keep my fingers crossed that it meets our heightened expectations.
Psychic Dee or PD is our Predicting Diva who has a great knack for predicting fate of movies by just watching the trailers.
Here's our disclaimer though ....
Our psychic Dee sees the future of movies in brilliant bright but brief flashes and has no power to influence the outcome in reality. Because future is not set in stone take PD's Revelations with a grain of salt. PD or the site has no affiliations with any movies and are not responsible for their debacles and failures.
