Nikhil Dwivedi Critiques Mani Ratnam’s Raavan: “A Missed Opportunity”

Actor Nikhil Dwivedi didn’t mince words when discussing Mani Ratnam’s 2010 film, *Raavan*. He expressed his disappointment, calling it a “badly-made film” and questioning the narrative choices.

“Bizarre Storytelling” and Underutilized Stars

Dwivedi’s main critique centers on what he perceives as “bizarre storytelling.” He feels the film failed to capitalize on the talents of its lead actors, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. He believes their potential was largely untapped, contributing to the film’s overall shortcomings.

A Film That “Did Nothing For Me”

Ultimately, Dwivedi’s assessment of *Raavan* is blunt. He stated the film simply “did nothing for me,” suggesting a disconnect between the director’s vision and his own expectations as a viewer.
