Technical Analysis:
Although many films are usually based on the Ramayana, the audience loves every film very much. However, it is worth mentioning that this film is in the Japanese anime style. This film was made around 1993. However, it should not be said that making such good anime graphics in those days is a great thing.

It is another special feature that it is now being released in 4K to suit the screens as well as the audience.
