About Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama?
The animated Indo-Japanese film – Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama – depicts the story of the ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana. The 1992 movie, which combined animation techniques from India's Ram Mohan and Japan's Yugo Sako, was co-produced. The narrative centres on Prince Rama, an avatar of Lord Vishnu in human form, as he sets out on a quest to save his wife Sita after she is taken captive by the evil king Ravana.
The movie received praise for both bringing the Ramayana to a worldwide audience and for fostering cross-cultural cooperation. It did, however, encounter controversy in India, where religious organisations objected to the way international filmmakers depicted the epic.
