Featured reviews
The movie is simply amazing. I watched the movie years ago and is my all time favourite. The animations are splendid and songs are heart touching. I still listen to the songs sometimes. The voice over artists did their jobs brilliantly. Watching this movie will surely give you goosebumps. The movie simplifies the original Ramayana to a great extent. This was done to make this movie appeal to the International audience. Producers have done extensive research on the topic. This is quite visible in the intricate details present in the movie. Great collaboration by Indians and Japs. A must watch for everybody and a good introduction to Hinduism and Indian culture.
Bring back childhood memories, actions sequence are so cool , not even today any animation movie can beat this.
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.

It's so nostalgic to see the IMDb page of this movie which I have watched many times especially in my childhood..Cartoon Network used to show this movie every now and then..Coming to the review, Great way of depicting the legendary story of Prince Ram and his exhile following the kidnapping of his wife Sita by the king of Lanka- Ravan..Ram and Laxman forming an army to defeat the mighty Ravan and get back Sita..Such a badass story shown beautifully , narrated awesomely and the movie has your attention from the start till the end. There are many series and Movies based on the story of Ramayan but this one still remains the best for me.!!!!
This story is fascinating and much better than any other Rama movies. The portrayal of Rama is at its best. Firstly the character animations were excellent especially Rama's long black hair. Secondly the dialogue and songs are so prideful to us all. I also like the fight scenes which includes Rama. The final battle between Rama and Ravan was amazing as it shows the power of both warriors and how detailed animation is (exploding arrow wounding Rama, Rama covered in wounds) I would recommend anyone to watch this movie
