Mani Ratnam’s RAAVAN in Hindi or VILLAIN in Telugu is inspired from the Asokavan episode in Ramayana. It is a modern day version of the episode where Raavan kidnaps Sita and keeps her in Asokavan. Later Rama ventures to save his wife and bring her back.
He worked in the movie with the same team which also worked in his last film 'Guru' i.e. Santosh Sivan- Cameraman, Srikar Prasad - Editor and A R Rehman taking care of music.
Story goes as Dev (Prithviraj) is a tough police officer who is appointed to catch Veeraiah (Vikram). During the marriage of Veeraiah’s sister (Priya Mani), Dev attacks him and injures him. Meanwhile, Veeraiah’s sister gets detained by the police for interrogation, but gets gang raped by the police men. This irks Veeraiah who wreaks a vengeance against the police.
Dev was responsible for everything, Veeraiah kidnaps Ragini (Aishwarya), wife of Dev, to teach him a lesson. Dev sets off to the forest in search of Ragini and Veeraiah. A forest guard (Karthik) comes forward to assist Dev to capture Veeraiah. With the help of the forest guard, Dev was able to trace Ragini. Ragini, who makes several vain attempts to escape from the clutches of Veeraiah. A plus point of Veeraiah, he never harmed Ragini.
Vikram has been superb with his performance, next in line comes Prithviraj and Aishwarya Rai (Bachchan) who has also performed terrific. Priya Mani as Vikram’s step sister has done a commendable job.
This is not the story of Beera [Raavan] or Dev [Ram] or Ragini [Sita], they are representatives of human nature. Ram and Raavan sways between the opposite poles of human nature.
