Ramayana: 8 Logic Blunders Leave Fans Shocked & Angry

Ramayana Plot Questions Spark Debate Now

Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana has arrived in theatres and is doing well at the box office so far. While the actual verdict will take some more time to come out, a lot of other things have come into discussion, specifically in terms of the film’s content.

Since it has been four days since the film was released on the big screen, a lot of people have undoubtedly watched it and have now pointed out the logical errors by reacting on social media.

The list starts with the comparison between two similar situations. In the first half, there is a scene where someone in the disguise of Vishwamitra tries to take Ram and Lakshman to some other place. In that moment, Ram realizes the truth. However, he fails to do the same thing when Shurpanakha appears as Sita in front of him.

The scene where Ravan kidnaps Sita has also been pointed out for logical errors. A lot of people believed that Sita could have jumped from Pushpak Vimana and Jatayu could have saved her mid-air, which would have also saved Jatayu from being killed.

Others stated that Jatayu could have thrown Ravan out of the sky and rescued Sita instead of trying to be a hero. Another sequence that grabbed attention is the fact that Jatayu, a bird, slashed Ravan’s head and he didn’t die, despite the fact that Ravan received a boon from Brahma that granted immunity against Devas, Gandharvas, Yakshas, and other beings.

People even questioned Maa Sita’s reaction in the Sita-haran moment, where she was not shocked or afraid when Ravan revealed his identity. Moreover, she does not cry for help. Moreover, when Mareech was wounded, he called out in Ram’s voice to lure Lakshman. People asked why Ram did not call out and clarify that it was not his voice.

Another thing that has come into discussion is that Shurpanakha was injured in the nose, and it was not a major injury. People said that she could have used Sanjeevani Booti to heal it instead of dragging Ravana into the matter and bringing destruction to Lanka.

Notably, netizens reacted on social media to these logical errors, saying that Nitesh Tiwari’s film is based on Valmiki’s Ramayana, which already has internal regional recensions, and the main epic exists in several regional, linguistic, and cultural versions.

Netizens claimed that there is a possibility that important elements from all the versions have been taken together to create two films, which is the main reason why logical errors are appearing in the content. A few others disagreed, saying that the film has stayed faithful to everything that people saw in Ramanand Sagar’s show, which is mostly considered to be true.

Ranbir Kapoor’s fans did not clarify anything. However, they expressed their satisfaction, saying that the logical errors have not created any major controversy, which means that Namit Malhotra and his team have achieved what they wanted to in terms of bringing the epic on a grand scale to the audience.

While the advance bookings in the initial phases were not so encouraging, early reports have claimed that the response on Monday is far better compared to the other days. However, the numbers at the end of the theatrical run will decide whether the film managed to hit a sixer as expected, creating multiple records.
