‘Valmiki Ramayana’ Locks Release Date As Oct. 2; Stellar Technical Team Joins Filmmaker Bhavna Talwar
India's epic story 'Ramayan' has translated on screen on both TV and films. The one made by Ramanand Sagar for Doordarshan got immense love during the lockdown when it was re-released on TV. However, Prabhas and Om Raut's "Adipurush" failed to win hearts despite a great musical score. This year, we have two movies on "Ramayan." One of them is Nitesh Tiwari's "Ramayana," and the other, "Valmiki Ramayana." This one is directed by Bhavna Datta Talwar. The makers have announced the release date today.
