Ravan! - Page 2

Re: Ravan being one dimensional

This post is really not a criticism of the actor...clearly, he is very good...!

But it is incumbent on the creatives to tell the actors at what level they need to pitch their acts so there is overall synergy...!

The issue then is with the writers and the director...!

The accent is actually fine, since it fits the geography. I am sure he will settle down.

As for the shades...I guess we will see that after he abducts Sita, in his scenes with Mandodari and so on...

...Or...They may not want to play around this particular dark character because the trp crowd is not going to accept it, for sure.

Chick...you know what, there is dichotomy right now that is not being underscored...he is a lecherous man and he is a devout Shiv bhakt...his bhakti does not seem different from his desire to possess a woman...maybe it is early days yet...maybe we will see the difference soon...

And the accent appeals actually...it is quite similar to what Ranveer Singh did with Bajirao Mastani...he gave Hindi a distinct Marathi twang to underline the geographic context...so clever casting from that perspective too, I would say!

Hey,

Hey,

I for one didn't take it as criticism of the actor but healthy discuss about the flaws in the scene.

Last night I was watching some of the on location videos of SKR and realize how the scenes are filmed in tiny fragmented bits. The actors have no control over how the end product will appear. They require a very skillful director to know the vision and the editors to put it all together like a puzzle.

Hello!

I felt the problem with that scene was more with editing than the actor playing Ravan. It was dragged a bit and didn't blend well.

Loved the contrast between the environment polluter who doesn't give any consideration to the land and the earthy, people loving environmentally conscious Mithila vasi! Loved the expressions of Janak and party as they watch the drama.

Re Kartik: really like him but he seems a bit green but feel he needs time to settle in the role. (Unlike Ashish who seems to be made for the role) His accent is something to get used to but I am liking the southern touch.
