Mani Rathnam’s romanticism becomes villain for this movie. The only soothing effect is that Mani Rathnam released the audience in right duration but didn’t rubbed the heads with his narration for 3 long hours. The movie publicized with huge hype and it’s even said that it got 3-4 times of investment much before its release. Big star cast right from Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, Prithviraj, Karteek and Prabhu increased expectations. And even the news about the presence of Ranjitha (Nityananda sex scandal fame) also made many heads turn towards this film.
The film is Mani Ratnam’s version of Ramayanam. Here Rama is a Police Officer and his wife is Seetha. A dreaded outlaw is Raavana. His sister is Surpanaka. Veeraiah aka Veera and his brother (Prabhu) live in a jungle near Nallamalla forests. He is feared and loved by local folk. Police are on the hunt to nab him. One day, Veera kidnaps Raagini (Aishwarya Rai), wife of a Superintendent of Police called Deva (Prithviraj). Veera has a personal score to settle with Dev and the cops whom he believes is responsible for his sister Vennala’s (Priyamani) custodial rape and subsequent suicide. During her 14-day hostage, Ragini iscovers that her ‘Ram’ is no God and her abductor ‘Raavan’ is not really rakshasha.
Prithvi Raj is ok and Vikram steals the show. Aishwarya Rai is marvelous in her chudis, lecherous in sleeveless and angelic on a whole. Karteek is ok as Hanuman. Prabhu is ok as Kumbhkarna. Ranjitha has a brief presence.
