Ravanasura

Except for some controversial dialogues and predictable twists (and terribly weak screenplay), there wasn't anything particularly bad about this film. It is watchable but NOT at all a family friendly movie!

Suspense gets revealed too soon (in early 1st half, and after that there's no suspense left in the film) Till then we get to see funny mass moments and some songs. For those who strictly want suspense movie, this might be a big letdown.

Highlights:

1. Ravi Teja's subtle acting in a negative shade and his screen presence

2. Songs - Pyaar Lona Paagal was fantastic! Others were forgettable

Drawbacks: Big let down is the screenplay and direction.

1. Weak, Terrible, and Tiresome Screenplay. The Suspense was revealed too soon.

2. RT's character arc - lazy attempt by filmmakers here. They want the audience to love the hero, so they give him funny scenes. Then they want to show his evil side, too much that you start hating him. Then they try to justify it with a pale half baked revenge backstory.

3. Second half could've been faster. The backstory of Ravi Teja could've been shown partly in the first half and partly in 2nd half. This would've been much better imo.

Final Verdict: Not at all a family friendly film due to the direction, nor a good film (bcuz of bad screenplay) but it is a one time watchable massala film thanks to Ravi Teja, Jayaram, and the film's sound department.
