    • Trivia
      When Rama fought Ravan, he did not look as powerful as Ravan. Ravan wore gold armour and had a strong sword. Rama however wore old cotton clothes, old ornaments in his hair and body and didn't even wear footwear. His sword was even handcrafted and ordinary. This is because Rama was banished by his mother's wishes and stuck to his old attire, even if it gave him a disadvantage.
    • Quotes

      Ravan: [to Sita] My day begins only when I see your face. But you? You won't even look at me. Do you not see I'm starving for your love?

    • Alternate versions
      A re-dubbed version of the film was released in the US in 2001 under the title Prince of Light. This version has around 39 minutes cut from the run time and additional music by Alan Howarth included.

    this movie shows the journey of life of the seventh incarnation of lord Vishnu - Ram
    it is the most beautiful movie created till today . I appreciate the efforts of the director Mr. Yugo Sako to have done such a lot of research. The songs are heart rending. It is a movie to be viewed by anyone who is really interested in Ramayana. Hats Off to all who contributed in making this movie. The characters are portrayed very beautifully . The best part is every detail of the original Valmiki Ramayana has been shown which also makes it very informative. Also the songs make the whole aspect of the movie complete and provide entertainment. I specially like the music which has been composed by Mr. Vanraj Batia and the lyrics of the songs are very meaningful although they are is Sanskrit. Only flaw is that , Ram was a very powerful personality and that is why people used to like him . So ram's character should have been portrayed in a better way. But never mind that I like the efforts put in to make such a great movie. The best part is a Japanese Person made a movie on an Indian mythology!!
