Sinekatalog’s take

G. Aravindan's film reworks the Ramayana's Uttara Kanda, with tribal people playing Rama and Sita in forest settings. Lyrical, spare and painterly, it won the National Award for direction as a daring, meditative reinterpretation of epic.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
