Actor Nitish Bharadwaj, who is well-known for playing Lord Krishna in BR Chopra's iconic 1988 television series Mahabharat, recently reviewed Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana after watching it. Notably, Bharadwaj was among the first celebs to praise Ramayana soon after its trailer was released. He had even predicted that the film would win an Oscar. However, now, after watching the film, the actor seems to have changed his stance, criticising the magnum opus, saying it misrepresents India's history and heritage.
Nitish Bharadwaj criticises Ramayana
Nitish Bharadwaj expressed his disappointment with the Ramayana makers over the portrayal of Ravana, played by Yash in the film. This comes amid the debate around the portrayal, which many believe is shown as a fair and socially just character. According to Nitish, Ravana's portrayal changes the moral framework of the epic.
