Despite getting ordinary reviews on the day of the release and early premieres, Ramayan part one is setting the ticket counters on fire with excellent revenues.
The fundamental attribution of this revenue generation will obviously go to the kind of pattern age that Ramayan subject has within the Hindu community.
It is evident that the country is still very strong on Lord Ram factor, and also the generational push that the family audience have towards this particular sentiment is evident. Our audience will simply turn up in big numbers when there is Ram involved.
If this is the kind of strong association that Indians have with Ramayan, which happens to be a timeless classic, then a film that properly explores this mythology is bound to blast the box office.
Considering the fact there is going to be a brief portion of Varanasi, which is going to be based on Ramayan, which will also show Mahesh in the role of Ram, there’s endless potential here.
If Rajamouli manages to touch the right kind of emotions and deliverables (cinematic highs) in this Ramayan portion with Mahesh as Ram, the theatrical experience is going to be superior.
When a half baked film with ordinary reviews is setting the ticket counter on such fire, one can only wonder the mass destruction that Rajamouli can create with this emotionally stirring Ramayan episode in Varanasi.
