How Ramayana frees Bollywood from polarisation politics
The $500 million film avoids partisan cues and gives Ravana a more layered portrayal, with worldwide release in 50,000 screens across about 100 countries.

With an investment of approximately $500 million for the two films, the epic Ramayana is Bollywood's answer to blockbuster franchises like Avatar and The Lord of the Rings.
