There is a diff in how both scenes end
In this scene,Ram agrees that she was wrong
But in film scene,it ends with Sita saying that her sin wasn’t that big
In the 1st scene,they are raising a concern abt cutting off her nose, whereas in the film,it comes across more as blaming her
Dear @malhotra_namit and @TheNameIsYash , I owe you both an apology.
I am sorry for doubting your dream of taking Indian culture and history to the world.
Yesterday, I watched Ramayana on one of India's biggest IMAX screens. Having grown up listening to, reading and watching Tulsidas's Ramayana, I walked into the theatre with a neutral mindset, almost imagining myself as someone who was discovering the story for the first time.
As the film opened with the Dev-Asur Sangram, I literally jumped out of my seat. The detailing, scale, imagination and breathtaking action were extraordinary. That sequence could put some of Hollywood's biggest battle spectacles to shame.
But what impressed me even more was your approach to storytelling.
I noticed a conscious effort to make Indian mythology accessible to international audiences without overwhelming them with its cultural complexity. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are presented as celestial beings, while even the Asuras have their own motivations and reasons for claiming the three worlds. You have attempted to create a universe where every being has a perspective and a place.
Sai Pallavi as Maa Sita is a wonderful casting choice. She doesn't rely on conventional glamour or exaggerated divinity. There is an understated grace, simplicity and dignity in her portrayal. She feels human without losing the sanctity of the character.
Moments that make this film special.
Dashrath washing Rishi Vishwamitra's feet. Sita caring for Kaikeyi like a daughter. The brothers expressing affection and devotion towards Ram. These moments may appear ordinary, but they communicate extraordinary values of our civilisation: humility, respect, duty, family and love.
The Ram-Sita wedding : At a time when arranged marriages are often misunderstood or dismissed, you remind audiences that a marriage can also be a divine union, a relationship destined beyond the choices of two individuals.
Ranbir as Ram is convincing. So is Lakshman.
However, a few things could have been better.
Vivek Oberoi should've been made Meghnad.
Khar-Dushan and Kumbhakarna looked a little too animated to me. Perhaps Kumbhakarna will get a more imposing visual treatment in Part 2. After all, his brother rules a city of gold!
I wanted more anger and fire in Lakshman's expressions and greater emotional intensity from Sita during the Ravan-Jatayu encounter. I would also have loved to hear Yash's original voice as Ravan rather than Sharad Kelkar's dubbing.
The dialogues by Kumar Vishwas and the music by A.R. Rahman did not always strike the emotional chord I expected. But Hans Zimmer's background score, however, is extraordinary. It elevates the cinematic experience to another level.
I have two requests for the next instalment.
First, please reinvent the timeless musical identity of Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan. Bring back the emotional connection of those iconic melodies and incorporate some of Goswami Tulsidas's most beloved dohas. A new generation deserves to experience that magic.
Second, please provide English subtitles or translations for the Sanskrit mantras and chants too. If we want the world to understand our civilisation, let us also help them understand the meaning behind our sacred sounds.
And please don't rush the story. If Ramayana needs three parts, make it three. This epic deserves the time and space it demands.
I may still have my reservations about certain creative decisions, but I owe you an apology for doubting the ambition of this project.
As I've said earlier Indian stories do not need to imitate the West to earn global recognition. They need conviction, craftsmanship, imagination and the courage to tell their stories on their own terms.
Perhaps this is the beginning of Indian cinema telling its own civilisational stories to the world.
Hari Anant, Hari Katha Ananta. Kahahi sunahi bahu bidhi sab santa 🙏🚩

Ranbir ka league ab bahut alag level ka hogya hai…. 2005 ke baad Jitne bhi naye actors aye mere khyal se Ranbir Iss wqt unn sab se Kahi zada Agey hai…… Iss bande ka ab apna ek alag category hochuka hai…..
He is no more in NEXT this actor or NEXT that actor zone….
HE IS RANBIR KAPOOR Iska apna khud ka zone hai ab….
@dmemorysnapper Imagine people shouting during the Sita Haran scene. What message would that convey?
Maybe they wanted to avoid this. Because other than this, I see no other reason to remove that part.
As for the U rating or controversy, they could’ve shown a toned-down version.
This makes sense. Other than this, I see no point in not including the Sita Haran scene.
There were ways to show a toned down version of Sita Haran, but they chose to skip it completely.
@V_for___ Yeah show it in universal rating movie so kids get scared ! ?? Entire YouTubers were chanting South Indians will cheer due to Sita haran so they skipped it they were scared of Yash fandom n now this is the result the fault is PJ , Mohit and others
Jo bhi hai, Stay Away from Diwali for the next 2–3 years.
2027 – Spirit
2028 – Ramayana 2
2029 – Hopefully, Ramayana 3.
Clash karoge toh bura haal hoga.

The reason neutrals aren’t offended by Raavana’s portrayal is because of TV shows like this and Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana.
In India, most people still think:
“Raavana bahut achha tha, lekin usne apni life mein sirf ek hi galti ki: Sita Haran.”
मृत्युशय्या पर लेटे रावण का राम और लक्ष्मण से संवाद का दृश्य देखिए। अभिनय में कोई बनावटीपन नहीं―मानो कोई वास्तविक घटना चल रही हो।

@Sushant848216@Madlad108 Toh fir agar Sita Haran dikhana hai, toh what is the safest option?
Haath pakad kar??
That would create more controversy, as he never touched her.
But pulling her by her hair will make Raavana look evil.
People will hate Raavana, not the makers.
Start Part 2 with Sita closing the door while Raavana chants a mantra outside.
Sita comes out with food, and Raavana transforms from a sadhu into his true form and pulls her by her hair.
Show Raavana’s brutality. Show the world his evil side.
#Ramayana
@LucasMStarr Jatayu has already explained it, so I don’t think this would be a good idea.
But showing the Sita Haran scene again, this time from Sita’s POV, and then cutting to her sitting in Ashok Vatika makes more sense.
“I don't think whole mumbai would've slept when #Pushpa2 did 86Cr+ in single day Highest ever"
Hoping brother is not having any issue in sleep as both #Ramayana and #Dhurandhar2 crossed that mark by HUGE MARGIN ✅✅
