3/5
The Tamil version is better directed, better acted, better edited, with music that's organically welded. The lines are sharper, the supporting cast and the main leads connected. Go to Full Review

While it's hard to see why Villain was so feted by the Japanese academy, the moody, social-realist vibe makes this worth a look. Go to Full Review

RAAVANANs incredible visual quality overwhelms everything. So much so that you can almost overlook all its detriments. But only almost. Go to Full Review

Rohit R @RT41221724 Feb 2 Under-rated Mani-ratnam movie See more Piyumika J @RT95578928 01/30/2025 One of the most beautiful tamil films I’ve ever seen. Far more better than the Hindi one. Chiyan Vikram is one hell of an actor. His raw emotions just flow through the whole movie. The way veeraiya depicts his love for Ragini is just brilliant. The scene where he’s on the boat and asking Ragini to stay with them is just beautiful. I loved the ending. The last song naan varuvain is so good and captures veeraiyas pain beautifully. Veeraiya is one of those characters whom will live in your heart for a long time. Aish looks breathtaking as always with little to no makeup. What a great cinematography. Hats off to Mani Ratnam sir.
