Raame Aandalum Raavane Aandalum(RARA) follows the story of a man who has lost his bulls whom he fondly refers to as his own kids. After much struggle, this story catches the eye of the media. Is he able to find his ‘kids’? The story here is well intentioned and heartwarming although it does give you a ‘Peepli Live’ feel. A side plot featuring an old man is the same as the one in Peepli Live and it does follow a similar template as well with the main plot. The screenplay is decently well penned. Although it is able to extract humour and the right amount of emotions in certain parts but the lack of depth particularly in the second hour is what doesn’t allow the film to shine completely. The opening sequence is able to show the demarcation between the influencial people and the common man. The backstory is also pretty interesting and it definitely makes you invest in the drama. The situations that are created are quite heartwarming as you feel the bond that the protagonist and his wife share with the animals. And so it does make you curious as to what happened to them. It is this sole thread that the writers needed to latch onto as opposed to so many issues that were touched upon in the second hour. The second hour is not boring or drab but the word I would use is scattered. Somewhere the essence of the film was lost in the second hour by touching upon an issue too many. This culminates into a feel good yet simplified and convenient climax that leaves you with a mixed feeling. Overall, an average screenplay but definitely watchable.
