‘Ramayana’ can never be a film. This is the final truth for history and something, and the story of indelible devotion for others. This is why Hindi cinema struggled to convert the epic into a true cinematic saga – not only a film, but a great experience of the magnitude of this story.

And it is not easy. A story for all ages that only demand more than money – it tells for total surrender. Years of unbreakable commitment, gathering excellent talent and bringing people together that not only understand the epic, but are ready to embodiment its power and magic on the screen. Therefore, when Nitesh Tiwari announced that he was ready to challenge and build a ‘Ramayana’ universe in two parts, it marked the beginning of a shared dream – of him and the audience.

On Thursday, as Tiwari unveiled the first glimpse of ‘Ramayana’, the audience finally saw the grandeur of that vision. Seeing ‘Ramayana’ alive on the big screen also found emotional, magical and important. This is a story that is never age. ‘Ramayana’ comes under all, and he needs a complete commercial recreational: scale, soul and timeless resonance.

It is a treasure of its values, devotion, relationship, feminism, strength, history, disregard and emotions that echo with every heart. And while it will soon be known whether Tiwari’s ‘Ramayana’ will successfully catch all this on the screen, one thing is already clear – the casting pitch is perfect.

Ranbir Kapoor can be the most inspired casting option in the years as Lord Ram. The best actor of his generation, Kapoor, has proved his craft continuously – regardless of box office results. His maturity, honesty and easy ability to become a character makes him a thrilling fit for the role.

Sail Pallavi’s Tiwari’s choice as Sita seems equally deep. Goddess has reverence for her simplicity, calm strength and inner beauty – the qualities that Pallavi take out. The actor is known in the Indian film industry for his no-glam image and expressive appearance, especially in Malayalam Cinema. She brings a rare authenticity in the role.

And yet the boldest step was probably casting Yash as Ravana. ‘KGF’ fame is not just a striking appearance, he commands the screen. He is a brave actor, never afraid to experiment, and his craft announced is clear in every frame. He is not just seen on the big screen – he is experienced.

Then Ravi Dubey comes in the form of Laxman, a television star with an undisputed appearance and proven talent. Tiwari’s faith in Dubey – selection of honesty and emotional depth on stardom – shows his commitment to tell a story on the spectacle.

The casting of ‘Ramayana’ looks vibrant and powerful as the epic: a Bollywood powerhouse, a Malayalam gem, a Kannada superstar and a TV icon – anchored by one of the most electrification options of all: Lord Hanuman as Sunny Deol.

Deol’s thunder energy, screen appearance, and congenital valor makes him an incarnation of Hanuman’s terrible devotion and strength. Their casting does not just look right, but almost luck. Deol is for ‘Ramayana’ which is for Lord Hanuman epic: a tireless warrior who wins the heart.

Pahanwa artists have promised ‘Ramayana’ more than only a big screen spectacle – a feeling, a memory, a promise of a generational experience. The film is not trying to modernize the epic, nor is it trying to recruit it according to the trends. It is almost the same as Tiwari has tilted his source, its scale, its essence, and the immense emotional capital in most Indian homes.

‘Ramayana’ is trying to re -create a world, revive a faith and resume the moral compass that the epic incarnates so powerfully. At a time when mythology often runs a battlefield of opinion, Tiwari’s attempt to make this film looks like Shraddha compared to the amendment.

This is probably a kind of effort to bring the audience generations together, and gives them the opportunity to join your shared cultural place again-realize a shared dream. It can also become a cinematic legend of our time.

The epic is no less. Nor to the audience.
