I can't see any reason why raavan can be watched more than once. ungripping plot, misuse of songs (oh terrible - mani is gradually becoming second to Rakesh.O.Mehra in this aspect), lame screenplay all add up to making raavan just another movie. commendable BGM, very good cinematography and some good performances are the only convincing factors in the movie. overall, i'd rate this movie as one of mani's average works. atleast, yuva/AE and guru was inspirational. i can see hardwork but raavan is so shallow.
