Questions raised on Ranbir’s look and costume in ‘Ramayana’: Designers said – despite the limited budget and time in TV, the design was more rich and vibrant.

Ever since the teaser of Ranbir Kapoor’s film ‘Ramayana’ was released, debate has started on every aspect of it. Meanwhile, costume designers who have worked on TV mythological series have given their opinion on Lord Ram’s look in the film and called it a missed opportunity. According to Variety India’s report, costume designer Shibpriya Sen, who has worked on TV’s superhit shows ‘Shrimad Ramayana’ and ‘Radha Krishna’, said that the first teaser of the film did not look as amazing as expected. According to him, the costumes of Ram and other characters on TV were inspired by Indian culture, temples and statues. Such as the circle of the Surya chariot and the yellow color in the crown of Rama, the Madhubani imprint for Sita, and the sculptures of Ajanta, Ellora and Hampi for Hanuman. According to Sen, Ram is central to India’s faith, so it is important to respect his divine nature while using it in costumes. He explained that despite the limited budget and time in TV, his designs were very rich and vibrant. On the other hand, costume designer Neerusha Nikhat, who has worked on mythological series like ‘Hatim’, ‘Siya Ke Ram’ and ‘Devon Ke Dev…Mahadev’, said that the film lacks beauty and innovation. He believes that producer Naam Malhotra could have brought more experimental and memorable designs. He also said that inexperienced people were involved in this project, whereas such a project required experienced designers. Designers say that despite the big budget and technical freedom, the costumes and jewelery in the film could have had more cultural and creative depth. The project proved to be a missed creative opportunity for the audience. The film hasn’t been released yet, but from the first look it’s clear that it could have featured a more authentic and memorable aesthetic.
