Raame Aandalum Raavane Aandalum

What is "Raame Aandalum Raavane Aandalum"? It is a movie about a villager who has lost his bullocks, the events leading to it and the aftermath. The movie has a brilliant plot but gets mired and bogged down by touching too many issues. Sticking to the plot could have produced a gritty watch.

The movie is quite engaging till the intermission. The second half veers away and tries to carry too much on the shoulders without being able to do justice to everything. Comparisons can't be avoided, as the political mockery and media spectacle has been seen in (similar) movies such as Joker.

What really sets this movie apart is the production and the cast. The cast does a fantastic job, especially the appatha(s). Makes me wonder if these people are actors or were taken from the nearby villages. Cinematography and sound capture a bare bones village exquisitely. The characters are well developed that even the village wastrel does a brilliant job of still sleeping at the chavadi though there is a funeral procession and band playing right next to him. The political and media circus make for a funny watch. The resemblance to certain politicians is obvious.

The movie is definitely a good watch. Though it tries to be too many things, it can't be dismissed.

Simple & beautiful movie with strong social massage...not to be missed...all the cast have done their part ver well.

A movie poster And trailer was good but while watching whole movie really disappointed.. More unrealistic scenes ruins the nature of the movie like engineers wanted board in tea shop and protogonist guy against for ladam for his cow.. A poor village couple faces struggled after missing their 2 male cows...they have more emotion with those cows..soo they try to find out at any cost.. Once watchable..!

The film's strength lies in its portrayal of the characters. The actors do a respectable job here, and the dialogue sounds authentic enough to not notice any goofs.

The story is simple, and doesn't beat around the bush.

Overall, its worth a watch.

good village drama with nice political message... Not as enjoyable one as "mandela" but this one has its own moments... The first half is so authentic and enjoyable one... the second half lost its originality and move on to the movie masala... not fully but bit noticeable... One time watchable village drama....
