While it attempted to rectify certain aspects from the initial teaser, it fell short in various areas, leaving viewers longing for a more satisfying experience.
One notable letdown was the lack of significant visual effects improvements. However, the director did manage to showcase visually appealing scenes that exceeded the teaser's quality. Unfortunately, the attempt to fix the VFX led to an overuse of darkness in the background, which, rather than enhancing the movie, left audiences disenchanted and contemplating leaving the theater.
Another major concern was the portrayal of Ravana. Instead of staying true to the iconic character, the director opted for a jihadi-like appearance, which did not resonate well with the audience. Moreover, the depiction of ten parallel heads seemed poorly executed, with a repetition of five heads followed by another set of five.
Adding to the disappointments, the screen time for Sita Ji was barely five minutes, and Laxman's presence was nearly negligible. These choices limited the opportunity to explore these significant characters fully, leaving fans longing for more depth.
Perhaps the most controversial decision was the replacement of Sone Ki Lanka (Golden Lanka) with a coal mine setting. This alteration aimed to reduce production costs and potentially create an animated spin-off. The movie predominantly featured cartoon characters, with only a handful of real actors. Additionally, the dialogues were subpar, reminiscent of low-quality films. The director's attempt to garner sympathy by leaving one seat vacant in the theater came across as disingenuous, ultimately leading to an insult to our revered deities.
In conclusion, it is best to steer clear of this movie, especially for the younger generation, as it may dampen their interest in Hindu mythology. It appears as though certain groups with vested interests may have influenced the director to defame Hinduism. Considering the impact on religious sentiments, it might be prudent to ban this director from working in India, as the film seems to mock the sacred epic of Ramayana.
