shobana'M' shobana

Maya Ravan, an attempt made to narrate, The holy ethic 'Ramayanam' through dance. "chinnama chillakamma", "sasivadane" and few more songs along with rock and roll dance, seems although totally not relevant to ramayanam but were merged into the play in an awesome fashion. Shobana has put herself in around 5 characters. Almighty only would know how much she might have put fight to make such a priceless show.

Ravan role was played by Shobana. Her performance was just nothing less than perfect. Ravan, a demon emporer, whose characterization was god level. The start was a 2 minute performance by Shobana during titles. Well, it took us ample time to recognize this celebrity. Need to admit that she has grown sideways a little. Later, there were many people taking over the stage. At one point of time we thought there were serious changes in the story. But as time flew we realized that masala is added to make this good old story much more interesting.

A few dialogues "u old donkey","sita bhabhi","ram ji","you die" seemed awkward,nevertheless the show engaged us every moment.Shobana was on stage almost all the time mesmerizing the audience with her spectacular moves,in short a well composed balanced dance.not to mention about the stage decorations it was just perfect with those lights.Believe it or not,The audience were so immersed in the show that at the end Shobana herself said the performance ended.Finally Shobana's "Show"ghanam.

Sita, whoever she is,i became a fan of her in the first look.Of course Shobana did her best,my eyes were somehow stuck with this chick.Hope who all saw it will agree with this.By the way whoever hasn't seen,beleive it or not, she is everyone's dreamgirl.

P.S: In sanskrit Shobanam stands for very good!!
