Raavan’s appetite for action overwhelms Ram this time
You have got seen such movies earlier than and you’ll watch related movies in future, particularly in case you are a fan of south cinema. What you have not seen although is the blood and gore and virtually impeccable motion sequences in a Bengali movie. At the very least in latest occasions.
Evidently, Raavan is an costly movie and the subtle motion sequences, make-up, aesthetics and track sequences replicate that. However this movie will not be for the faint-hearted. It celebrates the type of unfiltered violence one will get to see in south blockbusters. It has flying automobiles, thrilling chases and full-on motion. What it lacks although is a convincing storyteller and dialogue author, who may have made the journey a little bit extra satisfying. One recurring dialogue might linger even after the movie will get over: “Raavan khhoma kore ditey shuru korle Ramayan abar notun kore likhte hobe (If Raavan begins practising forgiveness, Ramayana must be rewritten).”
Raavan is Jeet’s movie and naturally he takes up lion’s share of the display time — generally as media research professor Ram (unconvincingly), and generally as vigilante Raavan. Jeet champions Raavan with the make-up, hair, contact lens, costume and motion.
On display, we see two parallel storylines – Ram falling in love along with his pupil Rai (Lahoma Bhattacharya), and Raavan happening a brutal killing spree, making life hell for the police drive. Powerful police officer Jahan (Tnusree Chakraborty) will get the duty of capturing Raavan, although her senior officer Rajiv (Shataf Figar) disapproves.
The movie begins with a bang with the introduction of Raavan. Nonetheless, with Ram and Rai’s bland romance, the primary half of the movie stays by and enormous uninteresting. The comfortable household lifetime of Ram additionally appears to be compelled. In truth, Raavan’s presence on display eclipses Jeet as Ram. Alternatively, Jeet pulls off the character of ruthless Raavan with elan. He virtually units the display on fireplace each time he makes an entry. Consequently, the second half turns into gripping with the high-decibel motion peaking.
Whereas motion is the power of the movie, the romance seems to be fairly underwhelming and the comedy is insufferable. The characters of Kharaj Mukhopadhyay and Biswanath Basu are unconvincing and pointless. Lahoma seems to be fairly on display however she fails to make any type of impression along with her dancing and performing expertise, which matter on this style. Tnusree and Shataf look dashing as law enforcement officials, there isn’t a construct up for the police drive. Other than these two, the drive seems to be unprepared and unintentionally humorous. Other than Raavan’s character, that’s curated with care, no different character, even the bunch of unhealthy males, has obtained any consideration from the makers.
All in all, Raavan is for individuals who love motion and have an urge for food for violence. Such brutality will not be usually seen within the Bengali movie spectrum. The technicians and combat masters have carried out an excellent job. Therefore, even when Jeet as Ram fails, Jeet as Raavan won’t allow them to down.
