Controversy has erupted over Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sunny Deol and Yash, after the Shri Ramlila Mahasangh issued a warning to the film’s director Nitesh Tiwari and its production house.
Arjun Kumar, president of the Mahasangh, has demanded that the film be screened for a delegation from the organisation before its release in India and overseas during Diwali. According to the Mahasangh, it has received information suggesting that the film may contain certain scenes that could hurt Hindu sentiments.
The organisation has warned that if the alleged controversial scenes are not removed, it will stage protests outside cinema halls screening the film. So far, neither Nitesh Tiwari nor the film’s production house has issued an official statement on the matter.
Ranbir Kapoor’s look in the image of a calm, radiant, and ideal man (Maryada Purushottam) appeared impressive.
Demand for special screening before release Arjun Kumar, president of Shri Ramlila Mahasangh, stated in a letter that the film should be shown to the Mahasangh in a special screening before its release in cinemas. The Mahasangh wants to ascertain that there is no incorrect portrayal or dialogue related to Lord Ram, characters of Ramayana, or Sanatan Dharma in the film.
Arjun Kumar warned that if the makers do not accept their demand, thousands of activists, along with Hindu organisations, will protest and stage demonstrations outside cinemas in Delhi and other states across the country.
Ravi Dubey’s look as Lakshman, devoted to Lord Rama, appeared powerful.
‘Adipurush’ was a flop film due to misrepresentation The Federation has cited the example of the 2023 film ‘Adipurush’ in its letter. Arjun Kumar reminded that the Sanatan society and people associated with Ramlila Mahasangh had strongly protested against several scenes in this film, produced by Bhushan Kumar and starring Prabhas-Saif Ali Khan.
In that film, golden Lanka was shown as black, and the portrayal of the great scholar Ravana and his army was like Mongol invaders. Due to this strong protest, that film, made on a budget of crores, proved to be a flop at the box office.
