Gadar
Another film that has elements of 'Ramayana' is Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel's 'Gadar'. The movie is a love story and follows Tara Singh's quest to get his partner Sakeena back from Pakistan. Earlier, in a press conference while addressing the media, the director of the film, Anil Sharma, shared that he took inspiration from the 'Ramayana' to make the story. He said, "If you ask me, 'Gadar' has elements of the 'Ramayana'. [In the epic], Lord Ram went to Lanka to get Sita; we have followed a similar plot in our film, which is why we identify with the story even after all these years.”
Adipurush
'Adipurush' is a 2023 Indian action film inspired by the Hindu epic 'Ramayana'. The story is about the Hindu god Ram's victory over the demon king Ravana after Ravana kidnaps Ram's wife, Sita.
