Imagine watching a movie just for the lead actor, now that is exactly how the movie Ravanasura serves you. This overrated motion picture sure garnered praise from the audience for its seemingly action-packed sequenced screenplay.
Although presented through a feeble storyline, the movie director Sudheer Verma played his pawns right by directing “mass maharaja” Ravi Teja in a villain avatar that eventually escalated film fanatic anticipation towards the movie.
The movie plot:
The film starts as a routine commercial drama that soon phases into a thriller. The lead actor Ravi Teja enacts the role of Ravindra, a junior lawyer who works in a law firm under his crush, Kanaka Mahalakshmi, played by Faria Abdullah. But the actor appears to be frivolous and underperforming when it comes to his job and character. Now the director lays the ground for his typical hero background to charge.
And just like any other popcorn movie, the lead actress, Kanaka Mahalakshmi poses as the actor’s love at first sight. Seduced in love, the actor Ravi Teja is found goofing around the lead actress on both a personal and professional level. But the big break is in cue, when a senior actor named Sampath who acts as Kanaka’s father, Vijay Talwar is seen being caught up in a murder scandal. Kanaka addresses the issue and requests help from the lead actor. The later scenes proceed to Ravindra taking up the case turning this lopsided scenario into a thriller one.
The actor Hyper Aadi who plays the character Babji shares his fair stage presence by adding a humorous side to the tale. Then the film advances to add some captivating scenes but somehow the director rushes in through the interval which ultimately misses out on explaining some key factors. The director sprints to finish the second half sequences and ends with a predictable flashback. The audience at this point fails to emotionally connect with the actor’s grievances which ultimately makes the storyline a laughing stock.
Review:
A Ramayana shade of the trio: Lord Ram, Sita, and Ravan is added to justify the film’s title. Despite its miscarried storyline, the story felt appealing due to the lead actor Ravi Teja’s performance who was singlehandedly capable of delivering unpredictable emotions enchanting fans. Another impressive outlook was Harshvardhan Rameshwar’s background score, Karthik Kannan’s cinematography, and Naveen Nooli’s editing which progressed well with the film.
Ravanasura could pose as your one-time watch solely due to the spot-on casting of a versatile actor such as Ravi Teja.
