Now
that the dust on Raavan(an) has settled,
everybody is clear on what it gives and
what it misses. While Vikram’s acting
has been appreciated by many (I some how
feel that it did not match his “Anniyan”
performance), there is a mixed reaction
about Aishwarya's acting as Sita. I am
yet to see the Hindi version and cannot
comment on Abhishek's performance.
A film is always a director medium of
conveying thoughts and ideas. In Raavan(an),
Mani Ratnam planned to convey the entire
story through visuals and small nice subtle
acting from actors to give wonderful experience
to the users. Visuals, no doubt are one
of the best in recent times. But somehow
I feel that Aishwarya could not make much
an impact as Sita. Agreed that she has
acted well, but she could not make us
to completely absorb into the character
and make us forget that she is indeed
acting. Perhaps she is too beautiful,
and what strikes the viewer is her beauty
and that eclipses everything out.
Here are few actresses, whom I would have
chosen or given a serious thought for
the role of Sita.
Konkana Sen
Who will ever forget her role as Mrs Iyer,
travelling a long distance alone with
her child on a bad day in Mr and
Mrs Iyer? Her simple village
girl beauty

with eyes that could emote well and can generate a
sympathy amogst the audience. If you haven’t
watched Mr and Mrs Iyer, do watch it. Her dilemma
after her interactions with Rahul Bose is very good
and takes the movie to a higher level.
Padma Priya
She is one of the actresses who has the ability to
deliver well on roles that demand more. She can convey
happiness and pain easily and can make audience feel
the same. I consider her body language and acting
in “Satham Podathey”
as best (did not get a chance to watch Pokkisham).
In the first half she delivers the mixed set of feeling
after the disappointment in her marriage. That is
something very subtle and formed the crux of the movie
(and the best part of the movie).
Vidya Balan
She is one actress I am including in the list just
by my instincts. Apart from her debut Parineeta, I
have not seen any of her films. Neither she has done
any serious roles demanding wide array of emotions
nor she has delivered top notch performance in any
of the movies. But I some how feel that she could
do that role of Sita with ease, confidence and charm.
Above all she can have good on-screen chemistry with
both Vikram and Abhishek than any of the other two
actresses mentioned above.
