Well,the goras are loving it and so are the thinking audience in India. But the west media is totally swept by the striking images and the quality of filmmaking by our genius from Chennai Mr. Mani Ratnam.
The movie has got the rare distinction to be called as a ÂCritics Pick a distinction rarely if ever earned by an Indian film.
Leading American daily ÂThe New York Times hailed it as a ÂCritics PickÂ.
The world top entertainment trade publication ÂVariety and ÂHollywood Reporter too have praised the film that opened Friday on over 2200 screens around the world in 35 countries including US and Canada.
ÂRaavan has ÂBollywood glamour aplenty, with the lovely if occasionally dramatically challenged Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, BachchanÂs wife, playing the Sita stand-in, said the New York Times. ÂThe real star, though, is Ratnam, a talented visual storyteller who directs action crisply and fills the screen with striking images.Â
The reviewers in west are very much impressed by A.R. RahmanÂs Âexcellent score and ManiÂs way of strory telling.
Praising cinematographers Manikandan and Santosh Sivan, production designer Samir Chanda and editor A. Sreekar Prasad for serving ÂRatnam superbly with images, settings and vitality that take oneÂs breath away, the publication thinks Âsuccess is inevitable throughout India and with expat audiences.Â
ÂAnd that, folks, is entertainment, was the Times verdict.
Well the home land may not given such overwhelming support to Mani but its sure as mentioned in our Hindi review of the ÂRaavan that the movie is for the connoisseurs of Âquality cinema and the team should be happy that a film based on the most popular Indian epic ÂRamayana is getting immense praise from the west. A rare achievement which underlines the fact that you donÂt have to visit Korea or Iran or America to churn a quality cinema.
The Hollywood reporter has termed it as a ÂPan-Indian saga with epic sweep, intense emotion and gorgeous images.Â
East or west Mani Ratnam is the Best, we are proud of you Mani Sir.
