ReviewThough Raavana Kottam has an interesting plotline and fitting background score that maintains tension, there is little to redeem the no-nuance script. The film falls into a trap of cliches while trying hard to give a hot take on caste discrimination. YouTube ScreengrabIn one of the opening shots of Raavana Kottam, you see Bose (played by Prabhu) at the door of his house with nine other faux heads. The heads are actually photos hung in Bose’s house and belong to various leaders like Dr Br Ambedkar, Muthuramalinga Thevar, late Ltte chief Prabhakaran, Periyar, and Subhash Chandra Bose, among others.
