Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana has received a mixed review from an actor who once played Lakshman himself. Sunil Lahri, who portrayed the character in Ramanand Sagar’s iconic television series, has now shared his thoughts on the new film.
The actor posted a video on Instagram discussing his experience of watching the big-budget adaptation. While he appreciated several aspects of the production, he also raised concerns about its treatment of the epic.
Sunil Lahri Reviews Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana
Sunil began his review by acknowledging the film's production quality and the cast's performances. However, he felt certain creative choices did not work well for the story.
Sharing his reaction, he said, “Mere vichar se film mein kuch scenes ke upar, jo khaas karke emotional scenes hain, un par aur dialogues par dhyan hi nahi diya gaya. Kuch scenes hain hi nahi, jaise ki Parshuram wala scene hai, mujhe kamzor laga, Ahilya wala scene hai hi nahi. Shurpanakha ka jo Ram ji se vartalap hai, usmein jis hisaab se Shurpanakha Ram ji ko sambodhit karti hai, woh bhi achha nahi laga. Sita ji ka Ram ji ko sambodhit karna, woh bhi theek nahi laga. Aise kai aur scenes hain jo kamzor hain, jinmein bhakti bhaav aur divyata kam lagti hai.”
He further shared his verdict, saying, “Yeh film mere vichar se shakti pradhan zyada hai, bhakti pradhan kam hai. Aap log dekhiye aur apne vichar saanjha kijiye.”
In the caption accompanying the video, Sunil wrote, “Watched the new Ramayan. It was a mixed experience, divinity and devotion were not visible. Many important scenes are missing. In many scenes the conversation was not dignified, which should be there in such a film. The character of Ravana was glorified a lot.”
