Prince Rama of Ayodhya marries Sita, but political intrigue within his own family sees the couple, along with Rama's devoted brother Lakshman, cast into exile in the forest. Their journey of love, duty and sacrifice draws them into confrontation with Ravana, the powerful demon king of Lanka, whose obsession with Sita sets in motion the epic events for which the ancient Sanskrit poem is best known. Backed by a colossal, star-studded ensemble cast and years of development, this first instalment of a planned two-part adaptation brings one of Hinduism's most revered epics to the screen on an unprecedented visual scale. A visually spectacular, hugely ambitious mythological epic that carries the weight of years of anticipation, its scale and star power delivering the grandeur longtime fans have hoped for.
