Indian film director Ram Gopal Varma is known for his outspoken opinions and candid reactions to films. As much as he is forward in praising a film, he also does not shy away from questioning its shortcomings. Now he has given his reaction regarding Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer film ‘Ramayana’. The special thing is that the director has seen this film not once, but twice. After watching the film, he praised its grandeur, technical aspects, direction and acting of the actors. Ram Gopal Varma has even called it the ‘Taj Mahal’ of Indian cinema. Along with this, he has also responded to those people who felt the lack of emotions in the film. Let us tell you, the earnings of the film are increasing rapidly.

Describing himself as an atheist, he explained the specialty of the film.

Ram Gopal Varma, while sharing a long post on social media platform Describing himself as an atheist, he said that in many reviews of the film, it was revealed that its scale and budget is very big, but the emotional depth of the story and the impact of music are not that strong. However, the director’s opinion is completely different. According to him, the real soul of the film is its vast canvas and the ambition of the people working behind its making. Praising director Nitish Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra, he said that both of them have tried to set such a level in front of Indian cinema, which was difficult to even imagine earlier. Ram Gopal Varma compared the film experience to a lavish Hollywood stage production. According to him, the scale at which religious and cultural sentiments have been portrayed on screen in the film is special in itself.

Yash’s Ravana described as a character to be remembered for decades

Yash Ram, playing the role of Ravana in the film, was the biggest center of praise for Gopal Varma. The director said that Yash’s acting is not a performance limited to just this year’s films, but will be remembered for decades to come. He refused to see the character of Ravana as just a traditional villain. According to him, Yash has brought on screen a personality who had achieved his power on the basis of his penance, knowledge, intelligence and unwavering determination. The director also described the depiction of Ravana’s ten heads as special. According to him, it is not just a way to create visual impact, but a medium to show the character’s wisdom and the conflict that runs within him. Ram Gopal Varma also praised the film’s opening cosmic battle, Jatayu’s final scene, the depiction of the forests and the demons present there. He said that these scenes are not just a showcase of VFX, but open new avenues of technical possibilities in Indian cinema.

Ranbir Kapoor’s acting defended

Ram Gopal Varma also expressed his opinion about Ranbir Kapoor playing the role of Lord Ram in the film. In fact, some audiences and critics felt his acting lacked emotion. The director disagreed with this criticism, saying that perhaps the audience did not understand Ram’s personality and his emotional expression properly. According to him, the biggest characteristic of Lord Ram was not to openly display emotions in every situation, but to maintain restraint. From accepting exile to showing controlled aggression in the jungle scenes, Ranbir has played his character with the same understanding. Ram Gopal Varma believes that the actor has controlled his facial expressions in the same way as Lord Ram could have behaved in those circumstances.

Writer Sridhar Raghavan also praised

Ram Gopal Varma also praised the work of the film’s writer Sridhar Raghavan. He particularly found the way Ravana’s past, his devotion to Lord Shiva, his struggles and ambitions were incorporated into the story impressive. According to him, these aspects have given more depth to the character of Ravana. In the end, the director described ‘Ramayana’ as such an Indian film which can stand firmly with the big films of international level. He stressed the need to understand the sheer scale and technical importance of the film amidst its criticisms. Calling it the ‘Taj Mahal of cinema’ after watching the film twice shows how impressed Ram Gopal Varma was with it.
