Biography

Ranganath Raveendran known professionally as Renganaath Ravee is a sound designer, supervising sound editor, and documentary filmmaker with extensive experience in the film industry. He grew up as a classically trained musician and an avid violinist. ^{[2] [3]}

To date, he has worked on over 150 feature films across eleven languages, English, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Ladakhi, Marathi, Nepali, Arabic and Portuguese. ^[4] His expertise extends beyond feature films to documentaries, short films, advertisements, and poetry installations. In addition to his work in sound design, Renganaath Ravee has also produced documentaries and a musical video.

He is also noted for his unique contributions to the intersection of art and sound. His poetry installation, which creatively combines sound, sculpture, and poetry, is the first of its kind in art history and earned him a place in the Limca Book of Records in 2015. ^{[5] [6] [7] [8]} He has used sound to interpret over ten poems written by distinguished poets from around the world.

Early Life/ Background

Renganaath Ravee was born on 5th May 1981 in Vypin, an island in West Kochi, Kerala ^[9] as the son of Raveendran O.B. and Rajaky N.K. From an early age, Renganaath displayed a strong aptitude for music. His parents recognised and encouraged him to learn the Carnatic violin. He began learning the violin at the age of eight, further deepening his connection with music.

With the desire to pursue music professionally, he sought admission to the Swati Thirunal College of Music in Thiruvananthapuram. However, his parents did not support his wish. Renganaath then undertook his pre-degree program at Cochin College, Fort Kochi and later graduated from Sree Narayana College, Varkala. He attempted post-graduate studies at Government College, Kariavattom but ultimately discontinued.

In 2002, during his graduation, he and two of his friends formed a music band that they initially named ‘Namaha’ but later changed to ‘The Hymn’. The band performed at clubs, events, and functions, and they eventually tried in vain to bring out a music album with 12 Hindi songs. ^[10]

During this time, Renganaath taught himself Western classical piano and guitar. Although he wanted to pursue music further, his band members did not share the same aspirations, leading to the disbanding of the group.

Later, Renganaath wished to study audio engineering at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune. Despite applying three times and clearing all attempts, he was unable to join the institute due to various reasons. Interestingly, later in 2010, Renganaath worked on an FTII diploma film directed by Kamal K.M. ^[11]

He believes that if he had not become a sound designer, he would have been a live musician or a violinist, staying true to his deep passion for music. ^[12]

Professional Journey

Renganaath Ravee began his formal training in audio engineering at Riyan studio in 2004, under the guidance of the renowned audio engineer, K.T. Francis ^[13] and also assisted him with live shows.

Later, in 2005, he joined K.J. Yesudas' Tharangini Studio in Thiruvananthapuram, as an independent sound recordist. ^{[14] [15]}

It was at this time that he got an opportunity to collaborate with National Award and Green Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker, P. Balan. ^[16] He introduced Renganaath to director Amit Dutta’s FTII diploma film, ‘Kshya Tra Ghya’. ^{[17] [18]} The film bagged the National Award for the best sound design by Vivek Sachidanand, ^{[19] [20]} the son of the famous writer, Anand. ^[21] This prompted him to take sound design seriously and thus he reached out to Vivek, and in early 2006, he moved to Mumbai to join Vivek's studio, Hashtone Sound Post.

In Mumbai, he worked on various Bollywood films and documentaries collaborating with notable figures such as P Balaraman, Hareendranath Dwarak Warrier, ^[22] Meghna Gulzar, ^[23] Sopan Muller, ^[24] Yasmin Kidwai, ^[25] Rajan Khosa, ^[26] Resul Pookutty, etc.

Renganaath Ravee's first feature film as a sound editor was ‘The Great Indian Butterfly’, an English-language film directed by Sarthak Dasgupta. His other notable works as a sound editor during that time were ‘Bhootnath’, ‘Dhoom 3’, ‘Luck’, ‘Agyat’, ‘Ladies vs Ricky Bahl’, ‘Bang Bang’, etc.

In 2007, Bejoy Nambiar won the Sony PIX reality show Gateway for the best filmmaker. Renganaath Ravee worked as the sound designer for the winning film, alongside Prashant Pillai, who composed the music. This collaboration marked the beginning of Renganaath's continued association with Nambiar in his future projects. Nambiar later introduced Renganaath to Lijo Jose Pellissery, another participant at the Gateway reality show. The discussions for Lijo’s film, ‘Nayakan’ began in 2008. The film was released in 2010 which marked Renganaath’s debut in Mollywood as an independent sound designer.

Renganaath returned to his hometown in Kerala in 2017 after his father’s demise. Since then, he has been part of numerous projects that garnered worldwide appreciation. Many of his films were showcased at prestigious international film festivals with some even securing distinguished accolades. Renganaath himself received notable honours as best sound designer and editor, including the Silver Crow Pheasant Award 2022 and Kerala State Film Awards 2016, 2018 and 2022.

Renganaath made his directorial debut with the documentary ‘Daveli’ in 2021 which explores the unique oratory cultural art form of the ‘Pandaram’ community of Central Kerala.

Collaborations

• Bejoy Nambiar
  Renganaath Ravee and Bejoy Nambiar’s partnership has endured through their collaborations in cinema and beyond since their initial meeting in 2007 when they came together for a 40-minute Malayalam short film ‘Rahu’ (2008), a sync sound project filmed in Kannur, Kerala. Later that year, when Bejoy Nambiar participated in the Sony PIX reality show Gateway, which hunts for India’s promising new directors, he became the winner of the show by creating the film ‘Soap’, with Renganaath serving as the sound designer and sound editor. ^[37]
  In 2013, the two reunited for the Hindi-Tamil bilingual feature film ‘David’, followed by their next collaboration on ’Wazir’ in 2016 which was a big-budget movie produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra starring Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar. Renganaath expresses his delight in being part of a Bejoy Nambiar movie, highlighting the creative freedom he enjoys when working with him.
• Lijo Jose Pellissery
  Renganaath Ravee’s debut in Mollywood was with Lijo Jose Pellissery’s directorial debut, ‘Nayakan’ (2010), which garnered critical acclaim for both its direction and sound design. ^[38] Since then, Renganaath has been a constant collaborator in all of Pellissery’s films. Their work together on ‘Ee Ma Yau’ earned them both the Kerala State Film Award, a film that Renganaath regards as Pellissery’s best work .
  One of their notable collaborations was in the 2019 film, ‘Jallikkattu’ where Renganaath’s sound design played a crucial role in amplifying the movie’s chaotic atmosphere. ‘Churuli’ was another movie where Renganaath’s work enriched Lijo’s mysterious storytelling, heightening its eerie and unsettling tone. His sound design was key to enhancing the atmosphere of Lijo’s Mohanlal starring, ‘Malaikottai Vaaliban’ and Mammootty’s ‘Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam’.
  Renganaath highlights that one of the positive aspects of working with Lijo is the ample time he receives to design sound without any undue pressure. He also praises Pellissery as a filmmaker with a clear vision for both visuals and sound, someone who is meticulous and ensures that every aspect of his films is finely tuned.
• Gautham Vasudev Menon
  On watching Lijo Jose Pellissery’s movie, ‘Nayakan’, Gautham Vasudev Menon approached Renganaath Ravee when he decided to experiment with the psychological thriller film ‘Nadunisi Naaygal’. Unlike Menon's typical films, which are known for their rich musical scores, this movie has no background music and songs, except for the sounds designed by Renganaath Ravee. A challenging project for Renganaath, ‘Nadunisi Naaygal’ was simultaneously dubbed and released in Telugu as ’Erra Gulabilu’ on 18 February 2011.
  Renganaath Ravee’s sound design expertise was also an enhancement to Gautham Vasudev Menon’s distinctive storytelling style in his 2012 movies like ‘Ekk Deewana Tha’ in Hindi which was the remake of the Tamil movie, ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa’, ‘Neethaane En Ponvasantham’ in Tamil (‘Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu’ shot simultaneously in Telugu) and ‘Ethirparatha Mutham’, a short film segment in an anthology film, ‘Kutty story’ (2021).
• Jayaraj
  Renganaath Ravee’s collaboration with Jayaraj, a seven-time National Award winner and multiple Kerala State Award recipient, has breathed life into several of his masterpieces. They first collaborated in 2010, on the film ‘Pakarnnattam’, starring Jayaram. Renganaath was part of Jayaraj's documentary 'The Rebirth', which received a Special Mention at the 65th National Film Awards in 2017. ^[39]
  Their partnership continued through ‘Veeram’ (2016), ‘Bhayanakam’ (2017), ‘Roudram 2018’ (2019), and ‘Hasyam’ (2020) from his ‘Navarasa’ series of movies. The movie, ‘Bhayanakam’ earned Jayaraj the Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay awards at the 66th National Film Awards in 2018.
  Renganaath also contributed to Jayaraj's short film ‘Shabdikkunna Kalappa’, a 15-minute adaptation of Ponkunnam Varkey's short story of the same name. Released on 1st May 2018, to coincide with International Workers' Day, the film was screened at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa in 2019, in the Panorama section.
• Jaideep Varma
  Renganaath Ravee first collaborated with Jaideep Varma on the 2008 Bollywood film Hulla, an adaptation of Varma’s novel ‘Local’ written in 2001. While Vivek Sachidanand served as the sound designer, Renganaath worked as the sound editor on the project.
  Following this, Renganaath contributed to Varma's feature-length documentary ‘Leaving Home’, which became the first documentary in India to receive a theatrical release. The film delves into the journey of the iconic Indian band ‘Indian Ocean’. ‘Leaving Home’ opened the Indian Panorama at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Goa in 2010 and won the National Film Award in 2011.
  Renganaath's continued collaborations with Jaideep Varma include the documentary ‘I'm Offended’, which explores the rise of stand-up comedy in India, and ‘Baavra Mann’, a 127-minute-long documentary that chronicles the life and work of acclaimed Indian filmmaker Sudhir Mishra.
• Tinu Pappachan
  Tinu Pappachan’s movies are noted for strong visuals, intense atmosphere and intricate sound design. The dynamic auditory experiences created by Renganaath Ravee in movies like ‘Chaaver’, ‘Ajagajantharam’ and ‘Swathanthryam Ardharatriyil’ have gained immense praise for contributing to Pappachan’s high-octane filmmaking style. Renganaath Ravee’s sound design succeeds in elevating the sensory experience for the audience, be it action scenes or deeply disturbing or chaotic environments.

Opinions

• From the article ‘Renganaath Ravee on creating the path-breaking soundscape in Jallikattu’ published in The Hindu on February 12, 2012
  “All sounds are beloved to me,” says Renganaath.
• From the blog ‘the complex air writer’s blog’ published on February 12, 2012 ^[41]
  “We have Malayalees like Dwarak Warrier, Resul Pookkutty and P.M Satheesh as the top names of Indian sound arena, but still a majority of our directors have a fairly narrow view of what is possible in terms of using sound in their films. Even for a big-budget feature, producers aren’t willing to reserve a reasonable portion for technical finesse in post-production, especially for the sound department. The hard fact is that only 1% - 1.5 % of a movie’s budget is set aside for sound.”
• From the article ‘New sound in Tinseltown’ published in The New Indian Express on June 04, 2013 ^[42]
  “A feature film is an audio-visual medium but when the producers and directors are ready to do anything to make its visuals perfect, not many care about its sound. Sound in a movie is not just sound effects, it consists of music, background noise to mere silence and without the right sounds, how can one enjoy a movie?” questions Renganaath in a refreshing candour.
• Comments on excessively loud and overstretched background scores from the blog written by Aswathy Gopalakrishnan published on June 04, 2013 ^[43]
  “When the background score is used from the first frame to the last, with the kind of heavy orchestration that you hear usually in a full-fledged song, it is a problem. A loud background score can be used in instances such as a pub scene, but using background music to eliminate silence isn’t how it should be,” he says.
  “In films such as ‘Amen’ and ‘Ennu Ninte Moideen’, my sound work was completed before the music director came in. It helped because he knew in which places I needed silence.”
