Pan-Indian saga with epic sweep, intense emotion and gorgeous images.

Artful but not arty, Mr. Ratnam, whose films include Dil Se and Guru, delivers the goods.

Not unusually for a Bollywood movie, Raavan combines beautiful photography, over-the-top acting, cheesy special effects and musical numbers that stretch things out well beyond the two-hour mark.

Ratnam's pace is steadfastly brisk, and his film is replete with dizzying camerawork, myriad complications, violent mayhem, broad humor, usual musical interludes, a cliffhanging climactic confrontation and a finish that strikes a note of poignancy.
