Remember the Chernobyl scene where the scientists are arguing about how severe the fall out is until the expert points out that their meters only go till 400 or something, when they finally get the high dose counters, the reading is like 5000?

I finally watched Ramayana to ensure that our criticism is informed by firsthand observation rather than hearsay. Having watched the film, here are our concerns:

1. Ravana and his entire clan are portrayed as a persecuted, helpless people.

They are presented almost as a community of poor souls who have been systematically mistreated by the Devtas. This portrayal invites sympathy for Ravana rather than allowing the audience to understand the moral and philosophical dimensions of his character.

2. This is less Ramayana and more Ravanyana.

Ravana has undeniably been glorified. One need only look at the number of children who, after watching the film, have begun praising Ravana to understand the impression it leaves.

3. Ravana is portrayed as an Asura, whereas he is traditionally identified as a Rakshasa.

There is a distinction between Rakshasas and Asuras in Hindu tradition. Conflating the two is not a trivial detail, particularly in a cinematic adaptation of an epic as culturally significant as the Ramayana.

4. Sita Ji is portrayed more like a contemporary, modern-day woman than the traditional divine and dignified persona associated with her.

That said, this is something we can perhaps accommodate under the creative liberties of cinematic interpretation.

5. Sita Ji addresses Shri Ram by his name.

Traditionally, Sita Ji is understood to have addressed Shri Ram with reverential expressions such as Swami or Aryaputra. Having her casually address him by his name feels inconsistent with the traditional portrayal of their relationship.

Creative liberty is certainly permissible. However, when adapting an epic that carries immense civilisational, spiritual and cultural significance, creative interpretation should not come at the expense of its underlying ethos, characters and traditional narrative.

6. Sita Ji is shown suggesting that Lakshman was wrong in cutting off Shurpanakha’s nose.

This is particularly concerning because such a statement is not found in the Valmiki Ramayana. The scene appears to introduce a moral interpretation that casts Shri Ram and Lakshman in an unfavourable light, while portraying Shurpanakha as an innocent woman whose only intention was to marry Shri Ram.

This fundamentally changes the audience’s perception of the episode and the characters involved. There is a difference between exercising creative liberty and introducing a narrative that departs from the source text in a way that alters the moral framing of the original epic.

-

Anyone defending this film on the grounds that at least Bollywood made an attempt to bring our story, the Ramayana, to the big screen is either profoundly ignorant of the epic’s cultural and spiritual significance or, one might suspect, has some vested interest in defending it.

Yes, the film deserves credit for its impressive, Hollywood-calibre visual effects, production design and technical execution. There is no denying that.

But spectacular VFX and lavish production budgets cannot serve as a licence to distort our Itihasa, misrepresent its revered characters or rewrite its foundational narrative.

We are not opposed to creative liberty. We are opposed to creative liberty being used as an excuse to distort our civilisational heritage.

The Ramayana deserves far more than spectacular visuals. It deserves authenticity, reverence and a profound understanding of the very tradition it seeks to portray.

Anyone with eyes and ears who spends a week in India will realise both are true: that India has and is progressing at a rapid clip; and that there is much work yet to be done in terms of addressing inequality, among many other things.

But the 'new India' has created an Indian that is impatient, desperate for praise and has little tolerance for criticism or nuance. This brash creature believes pride is their birthright, and how dare anyone put even a dent on their pride.

Sandeep Vanga, Srikanth Odela and every other degenerate piece of shit in Telugu film industry have blood of so many women on their hands…extreme violence and regressive film making targeted towards sadistic male animals amongst 2 Telugu states are directly responsible for this

[Change @WannabeKritik]

He gave Dhurandhar part 1 8/10 and part 2 5/10 which are nearly perfect ratings imo.

And what's with "he called it a political propaganda." Lol. It was a political propaganda.

[D.⛅ @Deep_Take001]

I don't mind if ppl find Rahman's work mid. Every music director delivers bad films & he's not exception. The problem is with ppl bringing in his religion & acting like he sabotaged the movie on purpose which is genuinely pathetic.

In India, demand a Uniform Civil Code and you're branded communal. Demand Sharia and you're celebrated as secular.

When equal laws are called communal and religious exceptionalism is called secular, the hypocrisy is the whole point.
