Re: [arr] Ten reasons to watch Raavanan!
Indian Express review gives RAVANAN ( Tamil version ) 3 stars compared to 2 stars for Hindi version. That probably speaks a lot about the lead actor VIKRAM.

Re: [arr] Ten reasons to watch Raavanan!
I just got home from the movie. Loved it. Thanks to all the reviews, I went in merely with the expectation of seeing a Mani Ratnam quality film and I was more than happy with what I saw. Go watch it. Like someone said earlier today, it is a treat for your senses. The background music was Amazing. My favourites were the Beera theme ( operatic and grand ) and Jaa re ud jaare.
