In the OG Ramayan (writen by Valmiki) there was no mention of Purity test of Sita , it was later added and was called the Uttar Ramayan , the Valmiki's version is only upto when Ram & Sita returned to Ayodhya.
@@anandraj0966 There's been hundreds of versions of Ramayana but why did the 'Tulsidas' version stick where the Sita was put on a pedestal of purity test? Food for thought.
Yeah, one of the largest literature with more than 10k Doha's and Chaupais is loved not because of accessible language, favourable geographic location and beauty of the literature But because of alleged sexism against Maa Sita. Unutilised brains need much more food for thought.
Loved the way you ended it. Keep doing it, it's going to take lot of efforts to remind people that mythological characters are not important than fellow human beings.
Mythological you say?!! How om earth can you deny scientific evidences and archeological research on Ramayan and Mahabharat?? This is the very problem with some people in India, never came out of the stupid colonial hangover
Idk if Ram was a God or not but one think is for sure. King Ram did exist. He was not a mere myth. He was a great King and his Ram Rajya is still considered a Golder Rule. Study more into it before saying such things!
@Bio toxic Google Archeological Survey of India and search for the remains of Ramayan and Mahabharat. Than you may reply to my comment next year (just like you did this time)
After last watching Pretentious movie reviews and reading Imaan Sheikh's blog, my memory of HSSH was reduced to that of a nineties drama fixated on music, dance and traditional love for family that needs to be shown explicitly. It maybe a bad movie but you have drawn our attention rightly to the references that its storyline made, and also forgot to make. Since I have not seen Lajja, it was enlightening to know that the script questioned the narrative of Ramayana in a novel way. Madhuri Dixit's dialogue "mujhe kuch sabit wabit nahin karna" was spot on. Another great thought provoking video essay! And yes, we need to relook at the ancient stories, because they justify certain practices in today's country that are against human dignity. Stories are a great starting point to get people into thinking and re-evaluating their assumptions about the society and the world.
Shakespearean plays have also been interpreted and presented in tremendously different ways throughout the ages, being relevant to their sociopolitical context for e.g. Hamlet being presented as Oedipus during the Freudian era vs Hamlet being presented as a gentle, weak prince during the Romantic era and so on. In the same way, seeing different interpretations of classical stories in Indian mythology such as Ramayana is so refreshing. The beauty of these classical stories and Shakespearean plays is that they can be adapted to any era and retold from a fresh perspective, making them timeless. I hope more people in India see the potential in presenting Indian mythology in new light, as opposed to just retelling the tradition, allowing these pieces to flourish and take new shapes. It’s great way to see the evolution of ideologies and societies.
sanatana dharma is all about criticism . Those hindus who will get triggered by this are not even hindus , they know nothing about hinduism . There are no commandments in sanatana dharma , only debate . "dharma" here doesn't mean religion , it just means law of the land , which needs to be updated constantly
@@anandmahto7704 and for your information there's only one Ramayana exits and that's the original one written by The great sage valmiki 👍 others are folk versions.
Dharma means the true karma, the absolute truth. It never change according to perspective, it doesn’t need any reference point. Otherwise Duryodhana will also said that he fought with dharma. Please have a true understanding.
Read uttarakhanda a book in kannada(Don't know wether it has been translated to other languages). It has ramyana in perspective of sita. Which is much better and realistic then original.
@@siddeshka8780 It's not just a book in Kannada only, it's a Kaand. Uttarakanda is the seventh and last book of what we call the Valmiki Ramayana. It's just that people could not decipher it given the day and age. Modern humans should be able to re-access and change the way the Ramayana should be read. Although arguably it was added later and not by Valmiki and hence has chances of adultation
@@SauravDasGuptaIN Bro I Know Valmiki Ramayana and the Kaands in it, UttaraKaanda is a novel name written by S L Bhyrappa which depicts Ramyana in different perspective. You deciphered my comment wrongly. Coming to adulteration of Ramayana I don't to what extent its done, but the original Ramayana also always depicted Seetha as submissive character. It was more about glorifying the Rama and dharma. Seetha never had voice to question.
Glad I subscribed to your channel a long time back. You not only did a case study on 2 films, but also showed how we should try abstaining ourselves from keeping stories like Ramayan always defining the ideal habits and rituals we need to follow. Lovely Sir!
If you don't want to follow then don't.......but don't think that you are doing something great and progressive by not following Ramayan (the actual Ramayan) and also don't force your beliefs of not following Ramayan on others
The archetype of 'Ram' character can be seen in most of the Bollywood movies where the world around 'central good male' character changes while the character only reacts to the situations. It was broken after globalization of Indian economics thanks to SRK, IMO.
Lord Ram is a example of flat character arc.A flat character is the one who already possess truth of the story from the beginning and uses it to enact positive change in the world

"Hum Saath Saath Hai is a bad film". *Unsubscribes*. Kidding! Your channel is among the best in India for film analysis, love your work, do keep it up. But HSSH will always remain a guilty pleasure; something about it makes me unable to change the channel even during the 456th rerun on Zee Cinema. For Sita's perspective, you should watch Nina Paley's 'Sita Sings the Blues'. It's kind of a universal feeling, the Sita Syndrome - being trapped in love of a man who is very, very wrong for you. But the poignancy expressed in that film, along with the blues music is so rich, it makes you a sucker for pain.
Ritwika Roy bloody hell you talk exactly like my ex...but even though I have never watched a barjatya movie more than 15 mins but I must agree with that our country is so unique and large that there are people who find movies like these very relateble and they have every right too....For a change we must not got carried away by the phenomenon of Hollywood by completely ignoring our ethos and attitude towards love and family which is in direct contradiction and strongly against western society.
Ritwika Roy you said, "your channel among the best in India" can you suggest me some of em plox, cause I never ever found such a quality channel, suggest plox 😞♥
Another great video. The questions you raised for Ram's character by the end of the video is what I used to think a lot as a child, gradually realising the time constraint narrative of the story and became a monotheist by the age of 15 and then atheist by the age of 17 and finally agnostic by the age of 18, only believe in the rare possibility of a creator and nothing like "quintessential God"
@@dhawal8261 Ram was a human avatar, so he had the characteristics of a human being. Hence, he simply could not balance both fronts.. The epic tried to show both sides of human characteristics and established the consequences. Problem is people could only understand the righteousness part given that Ram was an avatar and at that day & age women simply didn't matter as much, hence the other part by and large was overlooked. But times have changed and so I would have to disagree with aravind with the statement that 'its not possible to be both at a same time'. You can be the head of your family like Ram was to his Rajya, yet you cannot fall to societal pressure if say your spouse works in company of other men. It's possible to balance much better now, yet such things happens regularly. Vinit rightly said that Ramayan has got ingrained in our DNA. So yes, Ram should be reexamined. With increased IQ and critical reasoning, we should be able to get above the naivety and reconsider the epics from different perspectives and add 'better' values to own lives
@@dhawal8261My opinion was based on the Ramayana as we know. However it seems many believe that Uttara Kanda was added later and was not a part of Valmiki Ramayana, so it's controversial as there are chances of adultation. Not guilty until proved, hence Ram is worshipped. These are millennium old epics, so if you say anything against it it incites fear that you want to destroy our roots. To my eyes it's understandable as other peoples conquest in the past have affected the backbone of our society and as a result we have become insecure about it. Hinduism as what we know today has survived multiple onslaughts from within and outside. Like I said, my assessment was based on uttara kand as mentioned in the video but again we don't know what actually is true. But we do have all the versions. The idea is to take away the morals and implement in our lives instead of hurting anybody else's sentiment. Everybody is entitled to their own belief.
I am glad that you are back, really enjoy your videos, especially, "Anatomy of a Great Actor". It actually changed in a way how I look at actors and their performance. Looking forward to more from you.
Prateek Gole There's alot of subtext in that film which no one better than Vineet can explain. Also, I could connect with the film so whether it's overrated or didn't get what it deserved(which seems to be the case says every second person), hardly matters now. P.S. Offence not taken ✌
Tamasha is not an overrated film! It's in fact underrated. Many people found it boring an couldn't relate to it. Obviously because it had so many subtexts within it.

Great job bro. Just wanted to tell you that you are creating exceptional content. There are many analysis channels on RUclips- ScreenPrism, Cinefix, Now you see it, etc to name a few. They make analysis videos of only western classics and dont give a dime about Indian classics (there are many but not as much as foreign classics). I always fear that indian classics like Guide, Jaane Bhi Do Yaron, A Wednesday, Haider, Aligarh, Shahid, Black Friday, Lagaan, Mother India, Udaan, Kagaz ke phool, Works of Satyajit Ray (he was the prime inspiration for Martin Scorsese), and many thousands others will be lost in time if not given enough appreciation. Our audience is gradually getting mature and it will become a pity to see our generation appreciate only Western classics. They need to be made aware of the treasure troves of the Indian Cinema not necessarily Bollywood. And u are the only youtuber (as seen from your videos) who has the calibre to take this responsibility of embracing World Cinema rather than saturating only towards only one section of World culture (which unfortunately others are doing). You have already impressed many by analysing movies like Swades, GOW, Rang De Basanti, etc. Also this will help you create your own Niche in this competitive market. High hopes from you. Great luck to your channel in the future. An Indian Film Aspirant
Wonderful analysis.. Never thought this way for HSSH. Actually I could never complete that pathetic movie. But yeah, Lajja changed me to some extent after watching it.
The quality and concept of your videos have always been remarkable. But you have really improved with your narration! Some amazing work as always! Keep making more videos.
I have always wished that the Agnipariksha scene from lajja should deserve more acknowledgement than it has usually received....I am glad that u have taken it is a prime focus of ur narration....now more people will revisit it and appreciate the brilliance it contains in terms of performance and other creative aspects of the film.....gr& video again....
The perceived rigidity of Ramayana epic is a modern misconception, happily carried forward by the deracinated intellectuals of India. Even the original author Valmiki had written Adbhut Ramayana with Sita's role being prominent in it. I would rather say that Indian film makers have not even touched the surface in analyzing ancient epics of India. And feminist retelling of the epic!! Come on!! Something based on toxicity and hate can't do justice to the epic.
I have never ever commented on any other videos or channels .. but your content is just something else.. your style of narration and voice so addictive.. please make more videos
It's corny, but it catered to a different audience back in the 90s. And the central theme still holds-No family is perfect, you have to make the best of those close to you
@@sunilkapdi1035 Nowadays it has been a fashion to criticize Lord Ram. As if he some normal human being. That's the problem. Vinit has an eye for detail and I like his work, but I really have a problem with people having very less knowledge of Lord Ram, questioning his values and character. It makes me angry and so, I think it is really important for me to be away from such brilliant minds. Makes my life easy.
You are talking of Ramcharitmanas, not Ramyana itself. The Ram of Ramayana was not free of the failings of anger, of the feelings of means justifying the ends etc. It was the Tulsidas epic that elevates Ram to God. Tulsidas was a man of his time, and he projected his thoughts on God to Lord Ram.
It is so fullfilling to listen to your commentary, I find myself coming back to these videos again and again to explore it in greater depth everytime. Please keep the videos coming..
Beautiful. What a subtle response, in a way, to the criticism of the criticism of Padmavat and other trends of the kind in our pop culture. I like indirect subtle responses just as much as I like direct, patient and scientific language based responses, devoid of sarcasm or irritation. One of the plenty reasons I like your videos so much, they broaden my understanding and arguments so much, it's good to be in touch with source material for development of my opinions. Awesome work, Vinit
Bro u surely deserve an oscar for ur analysis.. hats off brother... Don't worry about time....we can wait for months to come for such valuable content..
I agree to your points, but the point of the offended(on revisiting the Hindu epics) is that this country just isn't about just one religion. Indian moviemakers fail miserably to extend their genius of interpreting the past with the modern values, when it comes to other religions.
But then Sita as a Rebellious Women took stand for her and Ramayan showed the hypocrisy and dumbness of men in terms of understanding women (as in the character of Ram). It showed men ain't the universe.
Don't make your perception based on some biased video which doesn't even provide complete facts......just read it yourself....... Goddess Sita is highly respected and all the propaganda actually painted a very bad picture of Ramayan
Best content ever seen in youtube specially when it comes to bollywood related stuff. You are doing awesome job. Dont ever stop creating content like this. Best luck.

The quality and concept of your videos have always been remarkable. But you have really improved with your narration! Some amazing work as always! Keep making more videos.
Always been a fan of your thoughts, research, narration, details, editing and presentation!!
I am speechless completely. Hats off to this man.
I have always wished that the Agnipariksha scene from lajja should deserve more acknowledgement than it has usually received....I am glad that u have taken it is a prime focus of ur narration....now more people will revisit it and appreciate the brilliance it contains in terms of performance and other creative aspects of the film.....gr& video again....
Great video mate, keep making more of those, I'll be waiting.
Highly underrated channel
man!!! you guys make some really thoughtful, intelligent videos.you guys have a really good team.
Loved how subtly you used Blade Runner's theme near the end to drive this video's theme home. Much love to you!
You explain all the things very well.
Love this type of content!!❤
U desereve more subscribers...😊best of luck!!!
The perceived rigidity of Ramayana epic is a modern misconception, happily carried forward by the deracinated intellectuals of India. Even the original author Valmiki had written Adbhut Ramayana with Sita's role being prominent in it. I would rather say that Indian film makers have not even touched the surface in analyzing ancient epics of India. And feminist retelling of the epic!! Come on!! Something based on toxicity and hate can't do justice to the epic.
I have fallen in love with your channel !
With great time comes great quality.
Amazing Work! Loved the video. I love the research you put into these videos.
I have never ever commented on any other videos or channels .. but your content is just something else.. your style of narration and voice so addictive.. please make more videos
U are the silver lining in the dark clouds...Love your Channel 😍😍
Awesome narrative Vineet. I wonder what would happen if lajja was made in 2018. Chills
Om shanti 🕉️
0:28 , did anyone know that that ramayan movie is an anime !
Keep doing good work bro ....awsm 👍👍👍
Despite Hum Saath Saath Hain is very cheeky, i still like to watch it sometimes as pretty much everything is family oriented and together
It's corny, but it catered to a different audience back in the 90s. And the central theme still holds-No family is perfect, you have to make the best of those close to you
Thank you for making this video. I am leaving your channel.
Why ????
@@sunilkapdi1035 Nowadays it has been a fashion to criticize Lord Ram. As if he some normal human being. That's the problem.
Vinit has an eye for detail and I like his work, but I really have a problem with people having very less knowledge of Lord Ram, questioning his values and character. It makes me angry and so, I think it is really important for me to be away from such brilliant minds. Makes my life easy.
Vinit it's all about the compassion and it's really worth it... It's all about story's to entertain us since ramayan mahabharata till now..
You are talking of Ramcharitmanas, not Ramyana itself. The Ram of Ramayana was not free of the failings of anger, of the feelings of means justifying the ends etc. It was the Tulsidas epic that elevates Ram to God. Tulsidas was a man of his time, and he projected his thoughts on God to Lord Ram.
It is so fullfilling to listen to your commentary, I find myself coming back to these videos again and again to explore it in greater depth everytime. Please keep the videos coming..
'Challenging the narrative of ramayana is quite a risky task as its traditional lead character has attained the status of a god.' loved it :D
He didn't attained it.....he is and will always be God
Sick of ppl given there opinion on Lord Ram without even actually reading Ramayan
Amazing content. Particularly the ending. Awesome video
That was awesome video man!
I didn't expected that 🤯
Amazing 😍
Man, you nailed it!! Expecting more such soul food..
i love your channel.....you're brutally honest about everything!
Beautiful. What a subtle response, in a way, to the criticism of the criticism of Padmavat and other trends of the kind in our pop culture. I like indirect subtle responses just as much as I like direct, patient and scientific language based responses, devoid of sarcasm or irritation. One of the plenty reasons I like your videos so much, they broaden my understanding and arguments so much, it's good to be in touch with source material for development of my opinions. Awesome work, Vinit
Quality content right here, good to see you back.
And that’s how you write UPSC mains answer
This is insanely great content.
You're the best channel on RUclips about Indian cinema. Period. Recommended to many of my friends, many times...
You're just great...
Awesome Brother! Please keep on going with more amazing contents..can't wait to see what's next!
I feel knowledgeable.
Thumbs up bro.
Sits Sings The Blues. The only version of Ramayana you ever need to watch
Bro u surely deserve an oscar for ur analysis.. hats off brother...
Don't worry about time....we can wait for months to come for such valuable content..
I agree to your points, but the point of the offended(on revisiting the Hindu epics) is that this country just isn't about just one religion.
Indian moviemakers fail miserably to extend their genius of interpreting the past with the modern values, when it comes to other religions.
You are doing an amazing job, please keep making videos
The way you clarify things is great. Keep doing this 👍👍👍👍
Never thought I would see a video like this on your channel or any channel on RUclips ! Keep surprising us !
But then Sita as a Rebellious Women took stand for her and Ramayan showed the hypocrisy and dumbness of men in terms of understanding women (as in the character of Ram).
It showed men ain't the universe.
🙌🏽
This!!!!❤❤
Don't make your perception based on some biased video which doesn't even provide complete facts......just read it yourself....... Goddess Sita is highly respected and all the propaganda actually painted a very bad picture of Ramayan
Best content ever seen in youtube specially when it comes to bollywood related stuff. You are doing awesome job. Dont ever stop creating content like this. Best luck.
The Blade Runner score in the background. love it
Great video as always.
"Tears in the rain " in the end gave me goosebumps
Your videos always provide a new perspective. Thank you very much for putting your efforts to make such a compelling analysis.
You have such a deep knowledge of film and you understand it unlike Bollywood
It would be great to see you make a top 10 Best Movies Of Indian Cinema
Are you god? Your type of quality content is rare in the Indian youtuber community
Really you are doing great job... thankyou for these kind of videos...
very good insights!! lajja description was a revelation!! good job!
The background track from Blade Runner fits so well!
I had never thought bollywood movies could be analysed like you do. Please keep up the good work, and may I suggest joining patreon?
I already have a Patreon account. You find the link in description and at the end of the video is also!
Cinema Beyond Entertainment Ah, my bad. Maybe tell the viewers about it before rolling credits?
I think I should start doing that from next video onwards!
