@malhotra_namit@shankarshanmugh Namit, please add some portions that were removed from the Hindi version, especially the important scenes. We know they've already been shot, so please don't play it too safe. Extend the movie by 15β20 minutes; I don't think anyone would mind!
These Ramayana movie critics are increasingly displaying an attitude of rigidity, and rigidity is the first sign of Radicalization.
Their argument seems to be: Whatever is in Valmiki Ramayana is acceptable, and nothing beyond it should be depicted.
But why?

@FilmiPrem Seriously, bro???? Despite so many good things,especially the sheer spectacle it offers. also one thing is clear: it never glorifies Ravan. The soul of good vs. evil remains intact. The director's only mistake was assuming the audience would be intelligent enough to understand it
@chotamotahandle@Wellutwt Haven't watched it yet; it's planned for Monday with family. But yeah, from what I've read, Bharat Milap, Sita's abduction, Lakshman's conversation with Urmila before Vanvas, and Sita's reaction to Jatayu's death are all missing. Whatever they've shown is apparently rushed.
