Raavan
is
not
a
story,
it
is
a
world.

Dev
falls
in
with
Ragini,
a
spunky
classical
dancer
who
is
as
unconventional
as
him.
They
get
married
and
he
takes
up
his
new
post
in
Lal
Maati,
a
small
town
in
northern
India.
A
town
where
the
world
of
law
is
not
the
police
but
Beera,
a
tribal
who
has,
over
the
years,
shifted
the
power
equation
of
the
place
from
the
ruling
to
the
have-nots
of
the
area.
Dev
knows
that
the
key
to
bringing
order
to
any
place
is
not
to
vanquish
the
big
fish;
in
this
case
-
Beera.
In
one
stroke
Dev
manage
to
rip
open
Beera's
world,
and
set
in
motion
a
change
of
event
which
will
claim
lives,
changes
fortune.
Beera,
injured
but
enraged
hits
back
starting
a
battle
that
draws
Dev,
Beera
and
Ragini
into
the
jungle.
The
jungle
which
is
dense,
confusing,
scary.
And
in
this
journey
they
must
confront
their
own
truth.
A
journey
which
will
test
their
beliefs,
convictions
and
emotions.
Emotions
which
are
as
scary
and
confusing
as
the
forest.
The
forest
becomes
the
battleground.
The
battle
between
good
and
evil,
between
Dev
and
Beera,
between
Ram
and
Raavan.
But
when
the
lines
dividing
good
and
evil
are
blurring
fast
whose
side
will
you
take.
When
hate
turns
to
love
and
the
good
starts
looking
evil.
Which
side
will
you
battle
for?
Love
is
the
battle
that
nobody
wins
but
everyone
must
fight.
Even
this
Raavan.
