"Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama" (1993) is an acclaimed animated film directed by Ram Mohan, Yûgô Sakô, and Koichi Saski, with music by Vanraj Bhatia. Featuring the voices of Arun Govil and Nikhil Kapoor as Lord Rama and Edie Mirman, Rael Padamsee, and Namrata Sawhney as Sita, it remains a favorite, boasting an impressive IMDb rating of 9.2.

In contrast, "Adipurush," released in 2023 and directed by Om Raut, stars Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan.

It was banned in Nepal due to concerns over offending Hindu sentiments, and some Hindu groups called for a ban on the film.
