Monkey Enters Lanka

This film was very exciting from its beggining to its end.

I understand it was originally made for a China and Arthouse audience, but it worked great here in Japan too. Loved the Sin-City aesthetic. We are familiar with Ramayana here before because of the anime, but really enjoyed the character focused study on Hanuman and Ravana. It give us more adult information than the anime did and it just made me love Hanuman, Rama and Sita more after watching.

Please watch before reviewing, saw a lot of bad ratings from Indians who think this is bad just because of foreign artists playing an originally Indian story. But this film is very respectul and the director seems to love Hanuman and Rama genuinely.

Cannot understand the negative reviewers. Seems from the comment most are Indians offended by Sita being played by non-Indian actress but why?

We have Ramayana too. The famous Ramayana animation is also from Japan, directed by Yugo Sako. We love Ramayana and monkey magic in Japan, we have a deity like Hanuman in our culture. Please Indian friends, be open minded to adaptation.

My opinion on this movie: thank you for making it and casting diverse cast so it is reachable. Music is nice and specially thank you for Japanese subtitles. I watched in Raindance film festival and was moved by Hanuman story. As a big Sin city fan, but thank you for trying this stylistic choice.

Picturing the ancient tale of Ramayan in modern way with a mixture of different art styles "Monkey Enters Lanka takes you on a whirlwind journey through stunning landscapes and intense action sequences. The characters are captivating, and the pacing is perfect. It's a mini-epic that packs a mighty punch. You go on a grand mission in "Monkey Enters Lanka," which is packed with astonishing action and breathtaking visuals.

The Music 🎶 gives an amazing feeling blending so well with every scene .

I LOVE IT !!!

I can say the film's energy and momentum are a testament to the director's skill and passion for the craft.

What can I say this film is truly terrible, the animation is basic at best. The acting is some of the worst I've ever come across, it's amazing that Amazon will actually have this on their platform, as it's probably one of the worst films I've come across in years. It's truly not worth the 34 minutes of your time to watch it. Goodness knows how it's managed to Ghana so many accolades and awards, I can only assume that these are either paid for, made up, or corrupt. If you can manage to sit through the full presentation I can only assume that you are doing it under duress or have some sort of fetish for bad films.

At first some of this information shocked me, like Ravana having abducted other women and being cursed, and this having been the reason he couldn't touch Sita, but I later went and fact-checked this information only to find IT IS ALL TRUE! I am actually appalled that no other adaptation properly dealt with this and tried to paint Ravan in a more noble light, as if he had only taken Sita.

If you have seen Adipurush, you need to see this film too. If you were one of the few who didn't hate Adipurush and appreciated what it was trying to do, this is also one of those films, that doesn't just copy every other adaptation, it focuses on different aspects of the book and gives us more to think about.
