Did you see the movie Bajrangbali, which has all the events you mention? I too hope they show it, but I'd like them to show it in a more serious, and less slapstick a manner than they did there.

lakshman rekha is only a modern adaptation, i mean like fairy tales keep on having something new added to them, its that way.

@ Mandodari:

Lakshman Rekha finds a mention in Vishnu Puran ,Ramcharit manas also mentions about a line :

"Mandodari rebukes Ravan on his boisterous claims of valour by hinting that his claim of strength and valour is shallow for he could not even cross a small line drawn by Shri Ram's younger brother Lakshman." Lanka kand 35-1
I think this line is Lakshman rekha as interpreted by various Puranas and folk tales.

Are you talking about Paula Richman?? She has done remarkable research on Ramayana , she also has incorporated many folk tale renditions of Ramayana in her works:

"Questioning Ramayanas: A South Asian Tradition "

Ramayana Stories in Modern South India: An Anthology

Many Ramayanas: The Diversity of a Narrative Tradition in South Asia

According to her Lakshman rekha is a universal concept and applies to all irrespective of gender.

The story of 'Pancha -mukhi' Hanuman has not been shown yet, if I'm not wrong. It constitutes to bea major incident in the life of Hanuman.....Its would be nice if this story is included

Panch-mukhi, from what I recall, was a form Hanuman had to take in order to extinguish 5 diyas in Mahiravan's palace when he was out to rescue Rama & Lakshman from him. The prophecy had it that whoever couldsimultaneously extinguish all 5 diyas would be the one who could kill Mahiravan. Hanuman therefore assumed this form and extinguished the diyas by blowing them off with each of his 5 mouths, and hence the 'panch-mukhi' name.

That was the story I read too. Hanuman assumed a huge form with 5 faces - four facing the four directions (and the lamps) and the fifth one facing the sky (and the lamp above) to extinguish the flames - his own in facing the sky (in the centre) and the faces of an eagle (Garuda), lion (Narasimha), horse (Hayagriva), and the boar (Varaha) for the four directions.

There are many temples of Pancha Mukha Anjaneya.
