Mimi’s #Ramayana review/thoughts….will make sure no major spoilers Backstory: I am a huge huge huge RK fan but I am neither Indian nor Hindu. I have Hindu friends and have basic knowledge of Ramayana so keep that in mind since I might not notice or know too many details. Also to haters, I was raised to learn about and RESPECT different religions. So chill. Unless you have specific questions, I won’t go over the story because see above. Starting with performances, I felt both Raavan and Rama have almost equal screen time. Yash is powerful as Raavan. He’s commends attention and you end up both in awe of him and scared of him. Meanwhile, RK as Rama is calm, zen-like, and serene. While Raavan makes you anxious, when Rama is on screen, you feel a certain calm knowing he will make everything alright. Both of the performances are applause -worthy and of course I do love RK as Rama more. How can one not love Lord Rama? Sai Pallavi is a beauty and so graceful as Sita Maa. She’s delicate when she needs to be and fierce and a warrior when needed. Her chemistry with RK is very endearing and beautiful to watch. As is her chemistry with Laxman. Talking about Laxman, he provides many lighter moments and is so good. The remaining cast from Raavana’s family to Rama’s, all the sages and all are great. Music in English version is still in Hindi but most songs are not included. BGM is magical. The english dubbing is with actual voices with perfect lip syncing. The VFX/CGi looks at per with my favorite show Game of Thrones, esp the battle scenes and the scenes with various rakshas. I only had a small issue with Jatayu’s (?) conversation with end of the movie, it could have been a little better, the VFX on the bird. Overall, 8.5/10. I would have liked more Rama, Rama-Sita and .5 taken away for Jatayu’s last scene. #Ramayana #RanbirKapoor #YashBOSS #SaiPallavi
