Watching Raavan, similarly, is no laughing matter. Initially, you are dazzled by the amazing visuals, the haunting background score and characters that show promise. You wait expectantly for dream merchant Mani Ratnam to weave his magic.
But it never happens. You just sit there, bewildered, then disappointed, and then just waiting for it to end. After an interesting set-up, that of Beera (Abhishek) abducting Ragini (Aishwarya), the wife of police officer Dev Sharma (Vikram) and Dev's pursuit of the outlaw, the film deteriorates consistently in a manner you don't expect it to.
Okay, so the plot takes a leaf out of the Ramayana's most memorable chapter. Raavan abducted Sita, wife of Lord Rama, which resulted in a battle that ended with Rama vanquishing the ten-headed demon king.
