Ramayana The Epic - In 3D

i have always been a fan of the Hindu mythology - Ramayan(a) - since i was a little kid. Coz i was bought in somewhat like a indian household, with an overdose of indian movies and songs hehehehe, so the interest was there...

The whole Ramayan(a) epic was so heroic. I tell you a bit, k?

The tale happend in Ayodhya. King Dashrath was to crown his eldest son, Ram, as the king of Ayodhya. Keikeyi, Dashrath's 2nd wife, wanted him to banish Ram and daughter-in-law Sita to the jungles because she wants her son, Bharath to be the king of Ayodhya. Because the King had a favour to return to his 2nd wife, he couldn't say NO and Ram and Sita were ordered to be banished to the jungles. Laxman, Ram's brother followed them.

In exile, Surphanaka, sister of the demon king Raavan, got attracted to Ram and wanted him to marry her. But Ram refuses, saying that he has vowed to have only one wife and that is Sita. Surphanaka then wanted Laxman to marry her but Laxman also refuses saying that his duties are only towards his brother and sister-in-law. Suphanakha was humiliated and in a fit of rage, tried to attack Sita. Laxman cuts her nose off in the fight.

Demon king Raavan got news of this. He promised to kidnap Sita to avenge for his sister's humiliation. Disguised as a saint, he went to ask for food from Sita. But beforehand, Sita was told by Laxman not to cross a 'laxman-rekha' line because both Ram and him will be going out hunting. But because Sita was a soft-hearted person, she made the decision to cross the line and give food to the saint who turns out to be Raavan.

Sita was kidnapped and Raavan wants Ram to come and fight him to get Sita back.

Thus started the war of Ramayana.

And NOW, India has come out with their own 3D version of the mythology. HOW WONDERFUL IS THAT? but sadly, i dont think this movie will ever be shown in Singapore. So I hope for the 2nd best, the DVD. I so badly wanna watch the movie coz why? The promos are amazing. Have a look yourself!!















PS: I've always got a soft-spot for Laxman. The heroic guy who stands by his brother and who is the protector of his sister-in-law although he is Ram's step-brother and the son to Keikeyi, the evil queen. Lucky he looks handsome in this movie. Mwahahahahaha...!!!

Oh! And another trivia, Juhi Chawla has done the voice-over for Sita.

Maybe I can as for this DVD for my birthday present, hehehehe....???? *wiggles eyebrows*

Ilal liqaa...!!!
