Accepted
His being a rebel is accepted.
This means that we acknowledge the character Ravana as a rebellious one and we accept him for what he is without judging him as being right or wrong.
​
When the rebelliousness of Ravana is accepted, it means that he is associated with the qualities of being Mindful and Powerful. Writer Amish Tripathi and film director Mayank Sharma, have accepted the rebelliousness of the character Ravana and reinterpreted him in the contemporary context.
Powerful
With respect to this interpretation, being Powerful doesn't represent a Ravan in a light of power that now dominates others. According to mythology, Ravana is depicted as one of the most powerful men amongst other characters in the Ramayana. Through this perspective, we peek into the journey that his character has undertaken to reach that level of power.
Mindful
With respect to this interpretation, being mindful is represented by highlighting various emotions of Ravana. According to mythology, Ravana is depicted to have ten heads, each of which is the representation of an emotion. Through those ten emotions, we see the nuances of his character and his thoughtfulness for the first time.
