Peter Jackson showed the world how to make epic fantasy twenty-five years ago with The Lord of the Rings, yet the makers of the Ramayana still seem not to have learned even the most fundamental lesson from him.
Characters in epic fantasy don't have to conform to the naturalism of real life. They can, and often should, be larger than life. In fact, they need to be. There is no epic without drama. But the world they inhabit absolutely must feel real. The locations, landscapes, textures, architecture, and geography need to convince the audience that this is a place that could truly exist. Spectacle without a believable world is just artificiality, not epic fantasy.
Forests don't seem real. India does not lack forests, and they could surely have paid their art directors well enough to build actual sets and then enhance them to achieve a larger-than-life feel, instead of creating everything against green screens. They need to ground the location into something tangible before elevating it to extraordinary. The trick is to make the impossible feel real, not to make the impossible merely feel impossible.
