CAST AND CREW1 of 2Production: Lakshmikanth
Cast: Ajay, Jennifer
Direction: Ajay
Screenplay: Ajay
Story: Ajay
Background score: R Sivan
Cinematography: VK Ramraj
Ravana Desam, directed by and starring Ajay Nuthakki, talks about the Sri Lankan Civil War and how a group of Sri Lankan Tamils decide to move away from their war-stricken land, in the hope of a better future as refugees in neighboring Tamil Nadu. Their journey is one that doesn't go according to plan as the group has to encounter nature's fury, even as their own bodies start to wilt under the primitive conditions.
The first half is mostly devoted to setting up the situation in the land with the LTTE on one side, the Sri Lankan Army on the other side and the pitiable Tamils who are in a 'Catch 22' situation. The voice-over in the intro credits sequence and at a few other points in the movie, is purposeful. The dialogues which point to the hopes and aspirations of these Tamils, just like any other normal layman, are on the mark and sum up the movie’s intentions.
The film is not meant for normal entertainment as such, but it is ultimately the effort put in by the crew and the director's motive which deserve a round of applause.
There are a couple of songs in R.Sivan's music which are montage sequences and they don't rise above the ordinary. The background score plays to the dramatic and dreary nature of the content.
