This movie should come with a warning label – “May induce coma-like symptoms.” The VFX is so bad that it looks like they used an old Nokia phone camera to shoot it. Ravana's city? It looked like a burned-down coal factory. Did they even try to make it look like gold? The makers of this film apparently didn't get the memo that Lord Hanuman is one of the most powerful characters in the Ramayana. This version of Lord Hanuman is a complete joke and the dialogue they gave him is just cringe-worthy. Did they hire a 5-year-old to write his lines? It sure seems like it. And then there's Ravana. This guy looks like he's on a vacation from the underworld. The hairdo is giving me serious "emo in the late 2000s" vibes. And the dragon he rides on? Are we sure we're watching Ramayana and not How to Train Your Dragon? The fight scenes are so slow and choppy that it feels like you're watching them in slow motion. And the lag in the animated scenes? You can literally go make a sandwich and come back and it would still be buffering. This movie took 7-9 months longer to complete? They could have used that time to take a film-making class or two.This movie is a waste of time and money. *Stick to the original Ramayana*
