RAAVANAN a big hit in film festivals

Mani Ratnam has just returned from Venice after receiving the 'jaeger-le coultre - glory to the filmmaker award' where his RAAVAN & RAAVANAN won him much appreciation and a standing ovation from the 600 strong special delegate audience. He is also the sole Indian to ever be awarded this prestigious award.

But looking at the impressive lineup of invites from international and prestigious festivals for the films it's clear that RAAVAN and RAAVANAN is a critical hit worldwide.
