Reva will trigger your wanderlust and will immediately make you rush to the gorgeous locations around Narmada river. Those who have read the book would agree that the major portions of the book have been taken care of. Though the movie is very verbose and characters speak way more than they should.

One of the good things about Reva is it hardly makes us feel that it’s an adaptation of a book. Here too, there’s a sari-clad young, educated & beautiful girl (Monal Gajjar) and voila, Daya Shankar Pandey, too! But unlike Swades, here our protagonist makes peace within himself rather than solving problems of ‘Gaaonwallas’. In other words, imagine Shah Rukh Khan of ‘Swades’ walking around the Narmada. Reva tells a story of the transformation of a young man from USA (Chetan Dhanani) from a rude non-believer to ardent Narmada devotee. Approx 140 minutes long movie Reva has many moments to cherish and some things which could have been taken care of. But in a pleasant surprise the director duo Rahul Bhole & Vinit Kanojia has taken the risk and made a movie ‘Reva’ from Dhruv Bhatt’s novel ‘Tattvamasi.’ The novel published more than a decade ago is already hit and had won a prestigious award as well. Thus unlike Hollywood, Indian filmmakers rarely touch books to make a movie. One, will he be able to do justice to the original story and the writer? Two, whether the movie stand independently from the book? The makers in India don’t prefer this double-edged sword. The maker has to deal with two major questions. To adapt a book into a full-fledged movie is a risky business.
