But then does Bobby need to just make a movie for them? If that’s his goal he achieved it with 50% accuracy. For fans, it doesn’t matter if the characters have a backstory, if the scenes have a proper emotional core, all they need is their hero to be shown in a specific way and when they get it, they enjoy. For an actor, it is important that he proves himself at every given point but for a director shouldn’t story be the first priority?īobby loses his grip of narration after an interesting take off. Except for his performance and prowess to show off that he can handle three different characters at the same time with great ease. NTR himself did that in Temper, so what new does Jai offer? Nothing. But in TFI, it is a masala commercial mixture that works out very well at the box office. In a perfect world, a wronged man turning towards the positive end of the spectrum after years of negativity is a great story idea.

Here the director tries making the antagonist as pure evil and also, wronged man at the same time. Maybe all the triple role films need one character to be negative and another two positive. Also, Ajith’s Varalaaru had a similar point. He takes the story points from Krishna’s movie Raktha Sambandham (1984), where one of the two siblings feels oppressed and suppressed by his own father and brother. So, in a way, Bobby tries to represent Ramayana in his small Jai Lava Kusa but the characters he writes are just caricatured sketches rather than fully realized ones. In Ramayana, Bharata and Rama looked similar, so Kusa in the place of Lava tries to rule, the Lakshmi.
So, a half-baked representation of Ramayana and Ravana is what we see throughout. Also, there are two Sita’s here and Ravana aka Jai, while abducts one, tries to force himself on another. Still, when one says, Jai is Ravana and Lava, Kusa are Rama, Lakshmana, we just end up laughing. But doesn’t use him well enough.Īlso, Narada who misleads Ravana so that he does all the misdeeds is represented slightly in Posani’s character. Here Bobby tries to make, Sai Kumar the guardian angel, indirectly Shiva who tries to show Ravana his true purpose. He is an egoist but that is at the later stage. Ravana is not just a simple man who thought power will solve his problems. He is seen as a god among the Asuras because his pain is just and he had blessings of Lord Shiva because he believed everyone deserves an equal chance to live and prosper. He lost in the hands of Karthaveerya Arjuna, Vaali when he underestimated their strength but he won against a fully loaded army of Devathas with a handful of Asuras. He is a man who fought more with his talent and mental skill than his body strength. His hate towards them makes him a scholar and a man who has an unbelievable mental strength that translates to his body as well. But he doesn’t become a ruthless man just because of that. As Jai, Ravana is also oppressed by his own brothers, Devathas. So, what is Ravana? Why Bobby’s version is dumbfounded representation? Bobby tries to emphasize on Ravana’s rebellious side. In a strange sense, Mani Ratnam tried to say Rama and Ravana, both are just equally ruthless in completing their duty. Similarly, in Ravanan we see Beera’s rebellion is with those who oppress and police try to work with them. They took pride in what he is and also accepted his shortcomings. He is loved by his countrymen, loved by his wife and sons. He is not just a man who tried to rule with Iron Fist. His story and screenplay had too many loopholes but Beera as Ravana is more apt representation of what Ravana is for Asuras. Mani Ratnam tried to interpret Ravana’s character in Ravanan and we have to say that it is the best on-screen adaptation of a character. It just doesn’t blend at all with the intensity of Jai’s character and Bobby should receive as many brickbats as we can throw at him. The oppressed and suppressed feeling that you get after watching a great live performance go to the doldrums due to lack of proper story and puranapul screenplay. This lyrics correctly depicts my frustration on the director and the story writers after watching Jai Lava Kusa.
