Chandrabose (Prabhu), a respected villager in the Ramnad district, is the father of Sengu (Shanthnu). They live in a village divided into meltheru and keezhtheru, where it is clear that both groups are equal and coexist peacefully. The two most prominent children, Sengu (Meltheru) and Madhi (Keezhtheru), get into trouble as a result of Sengu's affection for Indhira (Anandhi). Raavana Kottam concludes on an emotional note about how politicians are exploiting villagers for their own benefit as the entire village burns and several people die in this conflict.

Raavana Kottam is nothing more than a very generic movie that doesn't really go into much detail about the actual issues that are presented to us. It just attempts to address the inner selves and feelings of locals that is generally one-sided for a specific segment of individuals. If they had stated that a small group of individuals from both sides are primarily to blame for the disruption of peace in the village, the film would have been much more successful. Raavana Kottam, on the other hand, subtly glorifies a few things that diverge from the main issue.

The central conflict is poorly constructed, and one aspect of it is that one of the characters is designed to be extremely naive when it comes to trusting certain evil villager elements. Assuming that that contention had been persuading and strong, it would have saved the film somewhat. The landscape of the Ramnad district is well captured, and several sequences in the second half are worth watching.

Shantanu has given an excellent performance and is doing his best to hold the film on his own. However, poor writing makes it difficult for viewers to maintain their interest. The other specialized viewpoints are nice enough for a film like this. The way Anandhi expresses and moves is very similar to how she did in Pariyerum Perumal, but she still does a good job.


In general, Ravana Kottam is a film that lacks depth and relies too heavily on a weak narrative.
