KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 — Gods, demons, flying chariots and larger-than-life battles take centre stage in Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious big-screen adaptation of one of Hinduism’s most revered epics.
With sweeping visuals, elaborate world-building and a production scale rarely seen in Indian cinema, the first instalment transforms the ancient tale of Lord Rama into a lavish cinematic spectacle.
Attributed to the poet-sage Valmiki, the Ramayana chronicles Rama’s devotion to righteousness, the abduction of his wife Sita by the 10-headed demon king Ravana, and the enduring battle between good and evil.
The epic has inspired numerous film and television adaptations over the decades, but Tiwari’s version sets its sights on a much grander cinematic experience.
