One of the greatest film versions, awash with memorable music and starring Mahipal and Anita Guha as Rama and Sita. (Yugo Sako, Ram Mohan, Japan/India, 1992, 170mins)Ī fabulous animated version of the Ramayana that combines the visual flair of Japanese manga and anime (not unlike the work of Spirited Away director Miyazaki) with Indian art forms, resulting a spectacular epic of battles scenes, superhuman feats and magical weaponry that anticipates modern CGI epics, yet remains faithful to Valmiki's original.
