Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama

Beautifully designed with moving dialogues. Possibly the best adaptation of Ramayana out there. A must watch for anyone interested in Indian culture and history.

I saw this movie when I was a little kid and I've been in love with this movie since then. Animation, music, voice overs, everything is brilliant. Since the Ramayana cannot be completely illustrated within two-three hours but still, this is amazing. A must watch movie. And yes, do not watch this movie thinking you are going to watch a cartoon or something.

Since childhood I have been watching this movie on every Diwali. It refresh our childhood memory. Every Diwali we are waiting for this movie.

it is the most beautiful movie created till today . I appreciate the efforts of the director Mr. Yugo Sako to have done such a lot of research. The songs are heart rending. It is a movie to be viewed by anyone who is really interested in Ramayana. Hats Off to all who contributed in making this movie. The characters are portrayed very beautifully . The best part is every detail of the original Valmiki Ramayana has been shown which also makes it very informative. Also the songs make the whole aspect of the movie complete and provide entertainment. I specially like the music which has been composed by Mr. Vanraj Batia and the lyrics of the songs are very meaningful although they are is Sanskrit. Only flaw is that , Ram was a very powerful personality and that is why people used to like him . So ram's character should have been portrayed in a better way. But never mind that I like the efforts put in to make such a great movie. The best part is a Japanese Person made a movie on an Indian mythology!!

I was 11 or 12 when i first watch this movie on TV.

And i was like WOW. I have already watched the Ramayana series by Ramanand Sagar which is an epic, but it had told the story in a number of episodes... while here we got the main story of prince Rama in 170 minute, although it didn't cover the whole epic but it still amazes me. The voice over actors did their best especially Amrish Puri, the gravitas his performance gives this movie is just amazing. While Arun Govil who've played Rama in Ramamnand Sagar's Ramayana before seems very suitable for the role. His voice just gives that nostalgic factor to me and many who have seen the old series.

And now let's talk about the animation... Its marvellous especially if we compare it with those produced in India even today. The hand drawn animation gives it the feel no computer generated image could compete with. This movie has give me some best memories of my childhood and that is why i still remember it. I am 19 years old by the way.

Edit: I heard they released the 4k version of it recently I hope we finally got to see it in India.
