Raavan is the latest composition of the camera-pen of the well-known filmmaker Maniratnam. The director has interpreted the epic The Ramayana and has depicted the fight between Raavan and Ram in a modified way with a little touch of feminism. At the end of the film the audience fall in love and become sympathetic to the tragic end of the character of Veera starred by Abhishek Bachchan. Veera is the replica of Raavan. He is the enemy of all the police force or in other words Veera is the symbol of revolution against the authority or the Government itself. He is the sole ruler of his own world and has his own way of justice in his region where he is the lord of all things. Veera makes his own rules just to survive from the unfair deeds of the policemen. The authority has created its own biggest enemy who is just un putdown able. People love him and respect all his decision and never mind to plea in front of the police so that they can release all the charges against Veera. Maniratnam has designed the character as the extreme lover of Sita, Ragini starred by Aishwarya rai is this film. He does not harm the woman or even never tries to disgrace her. At the end of the film, Veera brings the truth in front of everybody that he is the savior of the backward class people though his method is against the law of this country.
Somehow we can equalize the story with the tale of Jungle Mahal in recent time. Kishenji has his own rules and method of revolution against the Government though his way of showing disgust is completely out of the law. In opposed to Veera, Kishenji targets the innocent and simple people just to give a hardcore shivering to the Government. He also pours all of his hatred to the security force and the policemen. The same terror and the same struggle for ideology are happening in the real world. There is a little difference between the reel world and the real world. On the screen, Maniratnam has ended up with character of Veera along with his region though he is not so malice. In the reality we can just hope that there will be a quick end of the fight between the Maoists and the government in which no body but the innocent people are suffering and loosing their relatives on sudden deaths. We may have the end of this struggle but the question still remains whether the end of Kishenji and his region will bring a true end of the revolution against the various injustice and misdeed of the Government?
