Description: Raavan, released in 2022, is a Bengali film that stands out for its intense action sequences and graphic violence, reminiscent of South Indian cinema. While the movie showcases impressive production values, including sophisticated action scenes, makeup, and aesthetics, it may not appeal to those who prefer lighter content. The film lacks a compelling narrative and strong dialogue, which could have enhanced the overall experience.
The story revolves around two parallel arcs: Ram, a media studies professor who falls for his student Rai, and Raavan, a ruthless vigilante who spreads terror. Jeet, the lead actor, dominates the screen, effortlessly portraying both roles. However, his portrayal of Raavan overshadows his performance as Ram, making the latter seem unconvincing. The first half of the film, focusing on Ram and Rai’s dull romance, feels lackluster, while the second half intensifies with gripping action sequences.
A recurring line in the film, “If Raavan starts practicing forgiveness, Ramayana will have to be rewritten,” lingers even after the credits roll. The police, led by tough officer Jahan, face the daunting task of capturing Raavan, despite disapproval from her senior, Rajiv. With its high-octane action and dramatic moments, Raavan is a film that caters to fans of hardcore action and thrillers.
