Mass Maharaj Ravi Teja who is on top form with back-to-back successful films is back with the revenge drama, titled, Ravanasura. Let’s see how it fares.
Story: Ravi Teja who works as a Junior lawyer with Faria Abdullah will be forced to take up as murder mystery of Megha Akash in which Sampath and Megha’s father is accused. Coincidentally several murders take place at various locations in a horrifying manner. What is the key aspect behind the series of murder? Who is the main accused behind the series of murders? Forms the crucial crux.
Performances: Ravi Teja is highly impressive in his negatively shaded character. His body language and energetic screen presence perfectly suited the character. The experienced actor did cent percent justice to a couple of introduction scenes with this typical body language. Though the film has kick shades initially, Ravi Teja managed to pull it off with the multi-personal swag in him.
Sushanth is fine in his key character. Actors like Jayakumar and Sampath perfectly fit the given roles. So is the case with Anu Emmanuel, Faria Abdullah, Megha Akash, and Daksha Nagarka. Pujita Ponnada among others in their short yet impactful roles.
Other padding artists Srinivas Reddy are okay in their given roles as sidekicks roles.
Technicalities: DOP by Vijay Karthik Kannan is stylish as he presented the entire film on a lavish note. His frames are captivating and so is the case with the production design.
He presented night mood shots in an impressive manner. The music composed by Harshvardhan Rameshwaram Bheems Ceciroleo is alright. They both did justice to the music department with their work but the background score by Rameshwaran Harshavardhan works at parts due to limited appeal.
Editing work is adequate. Dialogues and stories provided by Srikanth Vissa are okay. Art Director D R K Kiran is apt to the scene proceedings.
Analysis: First half follows a regular template with a boring screenplay until the pre-interval point when the storyline starts to get interesting. The lack of a gripping screenplay and the lack of impactful scene order is the main reason behind the audience losing interest in the plotline.
Overall, Ravanasura is a strictly Below Par psychological thriller. The storyline is interesting with a few decent sequences and Ravi Teja does well in a negative type role but the rest is a let-down with a lousy screenplay and many scenes that leave no impact.
If you still want to watch the film, keep a check on your expectations, the film will end up as a one-watch due to Ravi Teja’s negatively shaded character and performance.
Verdict: This Ravanasura Mass Thriller!
Rating: 2.5/5
