Mani Ratnam replies to Big BÂs comments on ÂRaavanÂ
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,June 23 2010]
Mani RatnamÂs latest ÂRaavan may not be clear to the common audience but connoisseurs of quality cinema had lapped this up. It might be boring for so called new age critics whose understanding of cinema is limited up to ÂHousefull and are awed by underwater shots of a film like ÂBlueÂ; who have no idea or donÂt accept the fact that cinema is also a medium that tells a story of the prevalent times and itÂs a mirror image.
Genius filmmakers have reflections of the society in their cinema and ManiÂs ÂRaavan is the interpretation of ÂRamayana in todayÂs times, many have not accepted that Ramayana can be told in such a way and their ignorance is finding unreasonable reasons for their lack of understanding.
Mani says, ÂEverybody has the right to express his opinion, Amitji should have conveyed me whatever he wanted to say, he has my cell no, anyways am bothered about the opinions of the rasikas and rasikas everywhere had appreciated it.Â
Yes we agree, with Mani ÂRaavan is a movie which tells how Indian cinema should be by tomorrow.
The movie is brilliant in every aspects and the editing is top class.
ItÂs high time that Bollywood & its ipod generation critics need to grow up asap.
