Leftists doing what they do

If it weren’t for their old narrative and hatred of Brahmins you know they wouldn’t have hesitated in trying to hype him up as the son of a poor, impoverished Brahmin forced into becoming this absolute monster. You know…like the son of a school teacher in Kashmir. But that wouldn’t fly for them ergo the spiel of him being a scholar, musician, yada yada.

Crazy thing is all of it is true. Raavan was all these things as much as he was a cursed incarnation of Jay, one of Narayan’s gatekeepers along with his brother Vijay. But these people are so badly exposed and moreover so predictable we know they don’t have the capabilities and the genuine respect required to interpret the Leelas of Narayan where such dichotomies are not an anomaly rather just an expression of the Supreme Divine that manifests itself in all forms be they light or dark that keeps the cosmos going from one cycle to another.

Hum Saath Saath Hain by Barjatya will end up being a better version of this

I don't need anybody's 'take' on Ramayana. Scripture shouldn't be messed up with to show your point of view or showcase your vision. I hate that this is being made. I hope this bombs.

I wonder if Ramayana will be able to recover its cost.

Why will people pay to watch a story which they have seen multiple times since childhood

I would pay to watch it as many times it's made in a proper way.

The issue isn’t if people are willing or not owing to their familiarity with the story. It’s that the producer himself thinks that the movie is going to be considered a success if only Timmy from US, Tom from Canada and Timothy from UK think it’s good.

I doubt the goal is even recovery of funds. The production house also owns the VFX and AI company working on the movie. They’re scaling up the budget to hype it up but so far it’s nothing extraordinary.

This is a massive money laundering scam combined with the chance to make some money from a showreel meant to promote the work of the new company that the producer has bought to showcase their skills to Hollywood studios as a VFX and AI company.

The more these people talk about the project somehow the worse it gets.

So basically their intention is to advertise their VFX so that they can get work from other movies. Very expensive advertisement

VFX waala Ramayana is like creating remix of good old hindi movie songs.

Even good old Hindi songs connected with the audience, unlike this version of Ramayan that lacks soul and is extremely superficial.

With the kind of vfx it has, it seems more like watching a video game than a movie based on dharmik literature.

Like some others have pointed out, it's probably a money laundering project.

Yep. They want to get work and also monetise their showreel to make as much profit as possible. They’re doing it by ensuring that they use a story that has no copyright that they need to pay someone for. I mean whether you use Valmiki Ramayana or Tulsidas’s Ramcharitmanas, it’s not like anyone can pay them or they’ll come asking for their share of the profits.

The movie itself will sell tickets, OTT, TV broadcast rights, music rights, merchandise probably. They know that recovering 4000 crores is not possible by any stretch of the imagination not even with both movies combined and the reception of the first will be surely an excellent parameter to judge the outcome of the second before it releases next year in Diwali.

The subject matter has ensured as it is that a certain section of the audience will not be interested in watching these films already given their ideological differences and their religious beliefs. Those who have no such problems are bothered by their own set of issues from the announcement of the cast itself - I mean… they’ve managed to piss people off from Ramayana by casting Ram and Sita - if that’s not irony, I don’t know what is at this point. Never imagined this could happen but here we are. Then there are the others who are associated with this project be it Sriram Raghavan (ironic again given his first and last names) or Nitesh Tiwari, who’s claim to fame is being the director of Dangal, the current biggest money laundering scam of the Indian movie industry.

The teaser/trailer hasn’t impressed a lot of people given the hype. The producer doesn’t help whenever he starts talking either.

I hope the ED is vigilant and does the needful if this happens to be a money laundering operation disguised as a movie. Would probably be the biggest kick Bollywood gets post pandemic and the audiences abandoning them. The timing of the movies is also a bit suspicious. The second one in particular… it releases in Diwali 2027. If things stick to schedule, we know that Lok Sabha 2029 will be around April/May as usual. They can claim to run the movie from October 2027 to whatever 2028…. Enough time to sneak in a lot of money especially since NGOs aren’t as easy an option anymore owing to the stringent rules and regulations tightening FCRA.
