Featured reviews
No proper dialogue written
Directional fail movie
Ravi teja how can accept this script
Pathetic performance in box office also
10 cr+ loss in share collection
Cast performance ---
Ravi teja acting classic as his mixtures of some old movie
Anu no screen time
Fariah & megha acted well , much screen time
But nobody's dialogue written in a good way
Slow paced movie
Some scenes we can't see with friends and family
That's big minus for collection of movie
Harika character is a twist but for that her screen presence is very less , it feels like director roped the actress only because she can give those scenes before interval.
I really liked the movie. The cast is very well utilized and portrayed. Story line is excellent. Parental guidance is definitely required. The motive is kept hidden and the utilization of key points of law is very good. All in all worth watching. I really liked the movie. The cast is very well utilized and portrayed.

Ravi Teja's Ravanasura is a revenge tale where he gets to play an anti-hero to commit several murders without leaving any evidence. Why is he committing these murders and what are his motives exactly, forms the story. As there is not much suspense left wrt the killer, the focus is more on creating the shock value with the lead character's anti-hero antics and controversial dialogues.
The twists towards the end range from decent to good, no doubt in that. But the lackluster screenplay doesn't allow the movie to raise above mediocrity right from the beginning. Ravi Teja plays to the gallery with his over the top antics but somehow it doesn't fit into this particular movie. How much ever implausible is the usage of prosthetics while committing murder, better writing would have aided the reveal in the third act. Ravanasura in the end is just another routine forgettable movie.

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.

Ravanasura attempts to make a bold statement with its intense narrative and ambitious storytelling. The film's strength lies in its audacious approach and the strong performances delivered by the cast. The lead actor's portrayal of the titular character is both compelling and layered, showcasing his ability to navigate a complex role with conviction.
However, the film struggles with several significant issues. Its length is a major drawback, as the prolonged runtime often feels excessive and contributes to a sense of drag. The narrative's attempt to evoke sympathy for the main character in the latter stages feels forced and unearned, given the extensive list of his transgressions. This shift in tone can be jarring, making it difficult to reconcile the character's past actions with the film's late attempts at redemption.
Overall, while Ravanasura shows bold ambition and features notable performances, its execution falters due to its excessive length and an inconsistent character arc. The film's attempt to balance intense drama with a sympathetic portrayal falls short, leaving it as a mixed experience rather than a fully satisfying one.
