1 star only for the Ramayana story.
Movie wise, first half was good but incorrect.
1. "Ravan kidnapped Sita and Lord Ram saw that". Seriously!! Fact is, he never saw. It was, while he went out to search her, he saw the injured Jatayu who told him the direction where Ravan took Sita.
2. Instead of showcasing the pushpak viman,
Ravan rode a filthy bat which appeared similar to a dragon.
3. Ravan palace looked like a coal mine.
4. Ravan fed meat to the bat with his own hands.
5. Tapori dialogues for Lord Hanuman.
6. No Shiva puja at Rameswaram before the construction of Ram Setu.
7. No emotional connect between Lord Ram and Hanuman.
What Nonsense!
The makers should have at least considered these aspects.
There are many such discrepancies through out the film.
Second half was pathetic which makes the whole movie horrible. The film should be banned.
Question to the makers : why ? Ruined a beautiful opportunity. Both the director and writer of the film should be taken to court.
Story : 50% wrong
Screenplay & Direction: Om Raut ! Don't know why you did this. You won't be forgiven for this atleast. If you try to make some bold attempts to enjoy the cinematic liberty, you should not surpass the reality. Stop being a DHONGI. Even you would also have realized after watching the first cut of the film.
Cast: Poor. Prabhas was not appealing as Lord Ram.
Acting: Average. Prabhas and Saif did well.
Music and bgm : Excellent
Cinematography and Vfx :
Average. Some places it was really good. Good attempt but the cartoon characters failed.
The entire film shooting was done in a single studio. No real locations. Don't know where they spent so called 500 crores.
Dialogues: Pathetic
The concept of making this epic a dark theme is not worth. Had huge expectations after watching the trailer but it came out as a big disappointment. I will not recommend anyone to watch even once. Still for those interested, watch only in 3D. If you know the story, avoid it and wait for it to release on Netflix.
