A controversy has emerged regarding action sequences involving Mata Sita in the upcoming film 'Ramayan: Part-1', directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The movie features actress Sai Pallavi as Mata Sita, alongside Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Yash as Ravana.

objections raised over storyline

The dispute centers on a scene in the film depicting Mata Sita fighting an army of 14,000 demons belonging to Khara and Dushana. Viewers raised objections on social media, citing the Valmiki Ramayana to argue that in the original narrative, Lord Ram fought alone while Sita was placed in a secure location.

During a premiere in Los Angeles, director Nitesh Tiwari clarified the creative choice. He explained that references from the 'Adbhuta Ramayana' were used as inspiration to portray Mata Sita as a warrior princess.

director's clarification and ongoing debate

Despite this clarification, a section of social media users continues to accuse the makers of altering the original narrative under the guise of cinematic liberty. Disagreements between viewers and the filmmakers regarding the Valmiki Ramayana text and the film's depictions remain ongoing.
