Ramayana Part 1 dialogues attracting backlash
Ramayana Part 1 dialogues attracting backlash. Ranbir Kapoor-Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana Part 1 is creating a collections tsunami at the box office across the world. While the film is hailed for the extravagant visuals and top class CG work, it is attracting backlash over the dialogues and the content. Many already felt that the film lacked the emotional connect.
Ramayana is now just a story for Indians but it is an epic which is revered by all the Hindus across the world. So directors has a huge responsibility while making and showing the same on the screen. While making the film based on Valmiki Ramayana, one should be extremely cautious regarding the main incidents, behavior of the various characters and their conversaations.
In Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana Part1 the same went missing. As the film was made on a large canvas and had top star cast and extravagant visuals, expectations soared on the film. Those who watched the film expressed their unhappiness by the way the makers made some changes in the story.
From the beginning there has been huge opposition to the Seetha shown as the warrior. Many felt that such scene was not there in Valmiki Ramayana. People are questioning why the makers should make such change to make the story interesting.
Similarly, Lakshman always speaks with Seetha looking at her feet. However in the film, Lakshman is seen delivering powerful dialogues. Even the dialogues involving Rama and Seetha also crossed the limits. They felt that the makers didnot show Rama as per the narration of Valmiki. Many are surprised with Seetha addressing Rama as 'Rama'.
The abduction of Seetha by Ravana is not shown in a proper manner at all. There is nothing wrong in making few changes for the film but people are of the opinion that the makers should give importance to Valmiki Ramayana. Many of those who revere Rama are of the opinion that it is better the filmmakers donot make films on Ramayana rather than make changes according to their whims and fancies. If they make Ramayana, they should make it as it is without any creative liberties.
