Movies: Why did 'Raavan' flop?

There has to be something really flawed about a film which is based on 'Ramayana', has Mani Ratnam at the helm of affairs, stars the Bachchan couple, boasts of music by AR Rahman and has the Who’s Who from the technical department, to crash at the box office. Why exactly has 'Raavan' not worked with the audience? * Boring narrative? Everyone understands that 'Ramayana' was about the triumph of good over evil. As an audience you are prepared to see what is going to unfold. But pray, why make it all so boring? This is where 'Raavan' falters because a one dimensional storyline just doesn't translate into a two hour film, which could hold your attention. All one gets to see is every actor in the film getting wet in the jungle and slipping or running through the rough terrain.
