Its Not a sin to experiment!! I mean common peeps we're talkin abt a population livin in da 21st century rite?!! This i should admit is a real example of readaptation , creativity, a largeur desprit, blendin cultures and arts!! Y make a fuss ?? Celebrate diversity, newness and creative and inovative things man! :D
not to hurt religious sentiments but how many people have actually SEEN the movie to comment about its 'implications'...? if its gonna project Sita as a fan of the blues( or something like that) , then whats degrading about that...? anybody in their senses would just laugh it off... next time ppl, learn not to copy opinions...

How about we play the women you respect most in your life like you mom, sis or wife and make a movie of them in the comical way and then ask for donation from every body..Artistic freedom isnt it.. You cant do the same in Islam can you?..offcourse if you do with Xtianity ..nodoby gives you award..so choose hinduism..get awards...hey why not
critically-acclaimed..kindly post the donation request in Frontline..or outlook magazine and in west bengal they will donate ...aethists and coounist will love your movie and rediff will critically acclaim it.. looks like all anti hindu themes are critically accliamed and recieve lots of donation from the Xtians and petro dollars from Middle east..
and offcourse..you cant play Davince code in india because people of the desert relegion will get upset and dont worry about trashing Ramayan we will play it every where since its critically acclaimed by the english media..dont worry nobosy will protest

You got 1 thing right about this thing,"stop this nonsense."Atlast 1 more of u guys is realising THE NONSENSE.
Sorry but I dont know how to address. You say you are not an Indian then why are you taking this pain of working on an ancient Indian Epic. I dont see that you've done any research before writing all rubbish about Sri Rama and Sita devi. You seemed to have never talked to the right scholar who can answer your questions. How dare you call our Sita Devi a doormat. Are you in your senses, the way you have narrated the story in your FAQ''s is so depressing and how can you relate yourself to Sita Devi. And you call yourself a cartoonist, I am sorry to say- after seeing the trailers for few seconds I was so disturbed and depressed the way Sita Devi and Lord Rama were portrayed. And you want donations from audience LOL..:-D
Oh my dont say this, I dont think dumping is uncommon in America.

Oh grow up! First of all its a good thing someone cares enough to experiment with an epic. Secondly have you ever written anything on the Ramayan or made a film on the Ramayan good enough to be chosen by the Berlin Film Festival? No? Then maybe you should cork your cryhole.

Anita seems you are soooo grown up that you feel Ramayan can be explained as "a witty, unlikely comedy interspersed with classic Jazz music" Seems like you have no knowledge of Ramayan, and like common stupid people you are impressed that it is selected for Berlin Film Festival.. fooorrr god sake stop getting impressed by white skin.... growing up does not mean that anything that white skin do is good. AND PLEASE PLEASE UNDERSTAND THERE WAS NO COMMEDY IN RAMAYAN

Cant you guys just take a movie as just a movie.....why all this religious sentiments? have you ever tried making a movie? i suppose most of u guys here are from the US of Indian origin. How often have u been to a temple/mosque/any place of worship? ah i have a better question how many times have u been to bar/club??? think before u start saying something...theres something called brains! if you dont want to donate dont.

Harish... Very rightly said..there is something called as brains... which does not seem to exsists in you. As you say take a movie as movie...but Ramayan was no movie, it was a reality. If a movie is to be made then it should be made as a movie on reality, which you must have seen in lots of movie and serials. If you know little about Ramayan, you will know that there is no comedy in it, as being talked about as in this movie. Listen there has to religious sentiments to this, because people like you are the ones who praise eccentric painter like m.f.hussain to draw nude pictures of our goddess. And for yoru kind information I am neither in US nor in UK. I am very much in India

Controversies or extra-ordinary do attract attention from festivals so just because something is chosen for a film festival doesn't make it credible.
