Don't be naive nor lazy.
Multiple versions exist, that doesn’t make the history or its traditional moral framing optional.
Most major tellings still share the same arc: Rama as the upholder of dharma, Ravana as the embodiment of adharma. Differences in exile length, Hanuman’s celibacy, or Maya Sita don’t erase that.
The concern raised was that a big commercial film is presenting Ravana in a way that leaves children seeing him as the hero.
Sidestepping that by saying “I’m uninterested in the history debate, it’s all internal psychology” is convenient response.
Allegorical readings have always existed alongside the traditional one; they don’t cancel the shared cultural and moral reference.
Also, warning against commercialization by Bollywood while the film in question is itself a major Bollywood production undercuts the point.
