OG Lakshman Sunil Lahri Criticises Ranbir's 'Ramayana', Points Out Missing Scenes, 'Accha Nahi Laga'
Sunil Lahri praised the cast’s performances but said the film feels less devotional and that Ravana is glorified, calling it a mixed experience.
On Wednesday, veteran actor Sunil Lahri shared a review of Nitesh Tiwari's new Ramayana, calling the film a "mixed experience" where "divinity was not visible."
Best known for playing Lakshman in Ramanand Sagar's 1987 Ramayan, Lahri noted the "patience, calm, and innocence" from the original are missing, suggesting Ranbir Kapoor lacks the necessary innocence for Rama.
Lahri criticized the Parshuram sequence as "quite weak" and added he "didn't like the way how Shurpanakha and Sita addressed Rama."
Despite mixed critical reactions, Ramayana Part 1 has amassed over Rs 823 crore worldwide within six days of its November 5 release, co-produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus and Yash's Monster Mind Creations.
While concerned about the film's devotional tone, Lahri noted "Ravana has been glorified a lot" but credited the cast for performing "very well with all their heart.
