The temptation is understandable, for, this film too is about the circus that ensues when a villager suffers from a trouble related to farming (we will get to that later). This film too speaks of the systemic apathy towards the problems of those perceived to be insignificant. The title of this film itself is a commentary on the longstanding neglect of those in power. Rama? Ravana? Does it even matter, the film seems to ask. And yet, where a film like Peepli Live manages to be consistently poignant and funny and bitingly satirical, RaRa feels like a pale imitation in every way. The commentary isn’t deep enough, the jokes not funny enough, and the sentiment not moving enough. And this really is the problem with RaRa, which despite the occasional sharp line and the occasional funny takedown, remains a victim of simplistic writing.Read at source

Raame Aandalum Raavane Aandalum
The film begins with a farmer, Kunnimuthu, going to the police station to lodge a complaint. The constable chases him out after he realises that Kunnimuthu had come to file a report of missing a pair of bulls, Karuppan and Vellaiyan. The bulls are like children for Kunnimuthu and his wife, Veerayi. Veerayi's father gifted the bulls during their wedding four years prior. Since then, the cows have been like their children, and the couple cares for them more than their own lives. Kunnimuthu's friend, Manthini, looks for the bulls along with him, but to no avail. Once, reporter Narmadha comes to the village to file a documentary, and Manthini helps her. In the process, he finds Kunnimuthu being charged with trying to steal bulls, when in reality, he was searching for his bulls. Narmadha rescues him and learns of it. She decides to help them with her channel. Kunnimuthu reveals that the bulls went missing the night he shamed a minister on stage. The minister had borrowed the bulls, staging them to be given as gifts to farmers. When the minister's men beat the bulls to bring them onstage, Kunnimuthu attacks the minister and takes the bulls away, revealing that the presentation ceremony was not true. Narmadha realizes that the minister had his men abduct the bulls. She sensationalizes the issue, and it gets total Tamil Nadu media coverage. The minister panics when he realizes the bulls are sold.
