Ranbir’s Ramayana Reminding Rajamouli’s Baahubali?

While the teaser of “Ramayana”, especially that of Ranbir Kapoor’s Rama character, is doing well with more than 10 million views on YouTube alone, people started comparing the visuals of the film with the likes of Adipurush, Varanasi, and other movies. In that process, some have identified that most of the visuals and the scenes shown in this Nitish Tiwari directed Ramayana are actually resembling the “Baahubali” movie. Here’s an interesting observation.

Most of the Ramayana teaser shots remind us of the film Baahubali. In that SS Rajamouli film, actually, Prabhas leaves the palace, and here Rama leaves the palace with Sita and stuff, with lots of people outside and crying. Similarly, we have the same mountains, ice-capped cliffs, waterfalls, and also the Pushpaka Vimanam, all seen in Baahubali, though in a different context. There’s a fight on snow-capped mountains in Baahubali, and the same is there in the Ramayana teaser too. While Ravana goes on the Pushpaka Vimana here, there, Prabhas-Anushka were seen on that in a song. How does this visual clash happen?

This is because Rajamouli got heavily inspired by the texts of Ramayana to write and make scenes of Baahubali. And, now that the original Ramayana is coming, the young generation might see this differently, feeling that Ramayana makers got inspired by Baahubali. However, the truth is that Ramayana and the Mahabharata always inspired filmmakers to write lots of their stories, and that’s why parallels come out.
