On the outset, it is the battle between Rama & Raavana which poses to be a combat of good vs evil. However, a perfect conclusion can never be drawn that Raavana is an evil force as mythology doesn’t convincingly approve of the same and so does The Villain.
The movie emphasizes the fact that despite Raavana being a person with a negative shade, he had his own share of positive asuspects of a good person which cannot be brushed aside. There is mother sentiment, a small hero-heroine episode and a bunch of songs which a general commercial cinema would consist of.
