If you’re comparing Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana to Zack Snyder's Justice league, at least look at what Snyder was doing with CGI back in the day. (Read Body Text)

Some days ago, while discussing Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana, someone brought up Zack Snyder and said, “Snyder also used his name to promote his movies.”

Buddy, Zack Snyder was making this kind of CGI and VFX back in the day. Just look at what he achieved with the technology available at the time.

You can absolutely criticize Namit Malhotra’s work without pretending Snyder didn’t set a completely different benchmark for visual filmmaking.

Ps: To the Snyder haters, calm your pants down. We’re literally discussing VFX, CGI and cinematography here, not asking you to renew your Snyder Hate Cult membership.

Why does Lord Ram have to be portrayed by a fair-skinned man? Many ancient descriptions depict Lord Ram as dark complexioned.

In the Valmiki Ramayana, Lord Ram is repeatedly described as śyāma, dark, dusky, or blue black in complexion and is often compared to a dark raincloud or a blue lotus. These descriptions have led many scholars and devotees to understand him as having a dark complexion. If ancient textual descriptions are the basis for depicting Lord Ram, why do so many modern portrayals consistently show him as fair-skinned? Even Sita Mata is described as having a golden or wheatish complexion (kanakavarnaangi) rather than a stark fair skin tone. Based on these descriptions, actors like Ranbir, Hrithik, Aishwarya, Kriti (popular choices) ​would all have been a ​miscast.

Edit: This image wasn't generated by me. It's attached​ only for reference to illustrate the point that Lord Ram is often described as having a dark complexion. It is not intended to be a historically or scripturally accurate depiction of his facial features or exact physical appearance.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but The Odyssey is Nolan's best film. Read Body Text.

I just watched The Odyssey, and I genuinely think I may have watched the best movie I've ever seen.

Christopher Nolan absolutely did not disappoint. The cinematography is breathtaking, every frame feels meticulously crafted, and the performances are phenomenal. Anne Hathaway and Matt Damon were perfect as Penelope and Odysseus. Hell, even the dog deserves an award. Every performance, no matter how small, felt authentic.

I don't think I'll ever doubt Nolan again. For me, The Odyssey is his greatest film. I know that's a bold statement considering his filmography, but this one just hit differently. It left me completely speechless.

10 out of 10. A true masterpiece.

Haters can cry now.
