Nitish Bharadwaj: By presenting Ravan as an exceptionally liberal, socially just and fair figure, the film, in my view, alters the moral framework of the Ramayan and undermines the very purpose of the avatar.''
He further mentioned that he was withdrawing his previous post on Ramayana and added, "I WITHDRAW MY INITIAL APPRECIATION. I am deeply upset and disappointed with this film. I withdraw my earlier post about it. I cannot find a single good word to say about it. A spectacle of VFX can never substitute for the core values, philosophical depth and spiritual essence of this Mahakavya."
Nitish Ji
with all due respect ...you have got the premise Wrong as Wrong can be
Look at the lyrics of the Maveli song which is about a demon/asura King Mahabali whose kingdom had Ram Rajya since you understand that kind of utopia
Mahabali had a kingdom in Kerala where no one lied or stole or was poor ...ergo he was Tricked and Banished by the Gods/Devs to the netherworld ...he was such a humble person that he did not Fight back on being Tricked by the Gods... he just requested to be able to see his subjects once a year ... no greed for power or money ...just love for service
Plus he was a Pure Vegetarian in a land-Kerala ...which eats a ton of non veg !!!!!!!
Ergo Demon Kings were socialists and had kingdoms where equality and justice ruled and had zero poverty
They were Liberal and Advanced nations compared to those ruled by humans who had multiple queens and had treachery and backstabbing and hunger for power leading to constant murders and some lack of law and order too ...
Vishnu Avatar in Kerala was a trickster ... imagine the Gods were ruled by Egos and Sheer Jealousy of an Asura as Mahabeli did not wage war with the Gods/Devs
the gods were Just JEALOUS of King Mahabali's popularity ... Period !!!
