Sunil Lahri, an original actor associated with the Ramayana franchise, reviews Ranbir Kapoor’s adaptation “Ramayana.” Across the coverage, he describes the film as visually grand and impressive, recognising the cast’s efforts and the production’s cinematography and effects.
At the same time, Lahri says key elements of the story do not fully land. Multiple reports state that some important scenes are missing from the narrative, and that this contributes to a “bittersweet” overall experience rather than one defined by strong devotion or emotional resonance. Times of India adds that the critique extends to the film’s emotional impact and, in particular, the treatment of pivotal episodes.
The main differences are in emphasis: two entries from NDTV focus on the general idea that certain important episodes are absent, while Times of India specifies the Ahalya narrative and frames the criticism around “divinity and devotion,” as well as dialogue substance.
