Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer Ramayana Part One is wreaking havoc at the box office as it made over Rs 660 crore in just five days of release. The epic directed by Nitesh Tiwari has even taken down Godzilla Minus Zero in several countries internationally. While the world is highly impressed with the grand Indian spectacle, Mukesh Khanna isn't. The veteran actor has taken to his YouTube channel to criticise the film's portrayal of Sai Pallavi's Sita's warrior avatar. © Prime Focus Studios Mukesh Khanna Slams Sai Pallavi's Sita as Warrior in RamayanaIn his YouTube video, Mukesh Khanna slammed the makers for trying to recover Rs 4000 crore budget instead of focusing on telling the epic in an authentic manner. One of the criticisms of Mukesh Khanna was towards Sai Pallavi's portrayal of Sita who is shown to be a warrior princess. Mukesh said, "I want to ask Hindi filmmakers: is it fair to distort facts mentioned in Valmiki’s Ramayana, go beyond it to show your vision. Ever since the Ramayana was released, it has stirred a debate on social media and amongst the YouTubers. Everyone is reviewing the film, and no one is sure how much the film will earn. But here, the main agenda has been about recovering the budget of Rs 4,000 crore, not about telling the story most authentically." Interestingly, Mukesh Khanna further admitted that he has not watched the film yet and is basing his opinion on social media chatter. © Prime Focus Studios He continued, "Kya aap andaza laga sakte hain ki Sita Mata Rani Jhansi ki tarah fight kar rahi hain ya aajkal ki heroines jo macho ban jaati hain? Maine Valmiki ji ki Ramayan padhi. Usmein kahin bhi aisa nahi likha hai ki Sita ji ne kabhi bhi jaakar fight ki hai. Woh ek Maryada Purushottam ki patni thi, jinhone seva bhav dikhaya hai. Woh fighter nahi thi. Agar woh fighter hoti toh woh Raavan se fight karti. Kyun Raavan unhe chup-chaap pakad ke le gaye? (People have objected to Sita fighting like the Rani of Jhansi. In the film, she is fighting 2-3 monsters; I cross-checked this in Valmiki’s Ramayana, and this is not there in it. From what I know, Maa Sita never fought. She was never a fighter; had she been one, she would have fought with Ravana when he tried to abduct her. How did he manage to abduct her just like that?)" He then also talked about producer Namit Malhotra's statement defending the choice of showing Sita as a warrior princess. He said, "What shocked me was that I saw a post where the producer justified the scene and said that the scene was not taken from Valmiki’s Ramayana, but from another book called Adbhuth Ramayana. There was only one original Ramayana, which was written by Valmiki; whatever is written in it, you cannot go two steps ahead of it. People have written different versions of the Ramayana only for entertainment, not to make a film on it. Can the producer fabricate the Quran or the Bible? If not, then how dare he fabricate the Ramayana? I want to ask: where did he get the scene of Maa Sita fighting from, and why did he put it in the film?" © YouTube/Mukesh KhannaRamayana is expected to hit over Rs 1000 crore by the end of 8-day extended run at the worldwide box office.
