Raavan is a 1984 Indian Hindi film.
In the Indian epic Ramayana, Vishnu assumes the human form of Rama to end the rule of demon king Ravana, an occasion celebrated among the Hindus as Vijayadashami to mark the triumph of good over evil, and burn giant effigies of Ravana, his son Indrajit, and brother Kumbhakarna. In the distant village of Agar, the villagers gather together to burn the effigies of only Indrajit and Kumbhakarna, and let Ravana's alone. The elder of the village explains this unique custom to a news reporter about the love of a woman Ganga (Smita Patil) for a cruel man named Ravana (Gulshan Arora), and how she went about to change this Ravana into a Ram.
