Raavan and Raavanan - The Modern Day Interpretation of Ramayana

The day before yesterday I watch Raavan and yesterday I watch Raavanan.

The movie ends with Veera falling to his death- however in the extended credits of the central website- it shows that Raagini left Dev- realizing that Dev had no love for her- but used her as a pawn to glorify himself. It al...so shows that Dev was promoted- but his life became miserable as policemen began sniggering openly at his manhood (that his wife would leave him for a terrorist and that she wanted to save a terrorist).

As he travels by train to his new posting- the eunuch (Vaiyapuri)- arrives and makes a fuss with Dev, and in the chaos empties his pistols magazine. Then Singarasan (Prabu) arrives as a sweet seller with a loaded pistol hidden away (implying that Singarasu is going to kill Dev).
The end credits were deleted owing to possible controversy over the fact that Raam would be killed. However the DVD may have these extended credits.

‘Raavanan’ and 'Raavan' is inspired from the Asokavanam episode in Ramayanam. It is a modern day version of the episode where Raavanan kidnaps Sita and keeps her in Asokavanam. Later Raman ventures to save his wife and bring her back.

Broken down in spirits as his happiness is completely lost through his close blood relation, it’s turn for him to retaliate. It is just as you expected as Beera kidnaps Raghini only to find the justice in his own way.


The movie is an ancient story of Ramayana. Mani Ratnam did it with a new attempt and he also make the movie EQUAL to Hollywood movies. HATS OFF To MANI RATNAM!!!
