The Indian audience does not need any special introduction about the Ramayana. Director Nitish Tiwari has tried to bring this epic, which has been a part of our culture for generations. The film stars manu noted cast from different industries like Bollywood hero Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash, who appeared as Ravana in the film ‘Ramayana: Part 1’. Fans and movie lovers had huge expectations on this film once announced. And how much did this film impress the audience? Did it live up to the huge expectations? Let’s find out in the Ramayana review now.

Ramayana Story Review:

The film is based on key episodes in the life of Lord Rama from the epic Ramayana. The story shows aspects like Lord Rama’s childhood in Ayodhya, his personality, marriage to Sita Devi, the situations he faces afterwards, and his exile. On the other hand, the role of Ravana (Yash) has also been specially introduced. The situations faced by Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana are the main attraction of the story. Since this is a two-part film, a strong foundation has been laid for the next part by not showing all the war scenes in the first part.

Positive Points:

  • Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi’s acting.
  • Yash’s powerful screen presence.
  • Massive production values.
  • Visual effects, action sequences.
  • International level technical standards.

Negative Points

  • Slow-paced story in some places.
  • Lack of emotional impact in some scenes.
  • Some visual effects are far from naturalistic.
  • Mixed response to music.

Technical Accepts:

The main strength of Ramayana film is the visual effects. The visual effects provided by DNEG are at an international level. The huge battle scenes, amazing locations, and character designs are the special attractions of the film. The production values ​​are top-notch. However, in some scenes, the graphics are far from natural.

The film’s music was composed by AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer, which raised expectations. But the audience was disappointed when Rahman’s songs didn’t match the emotions of the story, and the background score by Hans Zimmer wasn’t very impressive either. While the music was great in some scenes, it didn’t quite live up to expectations.

Director Nitish Tiwari has tried to make a great epic like Ramayana a new experience for the audience. He has taken special care in designing the grand settings, battle scenes and characters. However, while some scenes in the film are amazing, the story moves slowly at other places. Compared to the emphasis given to the grand action scenes, some emotional scenes should have been stronger.

Ramayana Final Verdict

Overall, ‘Ramayana: Part 1’ seems to be an attempt to take the level of Indian cinema to the international level. The performances of the actors Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, Rakul Preeth Singh and Kajjal Aggarwal, huge production values, and visual effects are the main strengths of this film. However, the result would have been even better if there had been more pace in the story and more depth in the emotional scenes and proper story narration. This film stands as a visual epic worth watching on the big screen with family.

Bottom-line : Watch With Family This Visual Wonder
