TEN HEADS

TEN MINDS

A HUNDRED VOICES

ONE MAN

Did such a man ever exist...?

Was he just a myth... or metaphor...?

Is Raavan the line that divides Good from Evil...?

Does our understanding change when we look from the opinion from the opponent's perspective...?

The bond between the Hunter and the Hunted - between the Captor and the Captive seems to be a bond of do or die...?

The tension between opposites often seems so electric, that it is isolates them from the rest of the world, leaving just the two - All alone...

Are Ten Heads better than one...?

Is there a Ram inside Raavan? And a Raavan inside each of us?!

- Mani Ratnam
