Baahubali
OTT Platform: Disney+Hotstar

'Baahubali' served as the synopsis for both Ramayana and Mahabharata. In the second part, Mahendra Bahubali was portrayed leaving his position of nobility because of his mother, exactly as Rama had sacrificed in the Ramayana. It's also one of the most popular blockbusters and is comparable to 'Adipurush'.

Raavan
OTT Platform: Prime Video

Mani Ratnam wrote, co-produced, and directed the epic action-adventure movie 'Raavan' (2010), which was released in Hindi. Along with Govinda, Nikhil Dwivedi, Ravi Kishan, and Priyamani playing significant supporting parts, it has Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Vikram as its main actors. Vikram and Priyamani make their Hindi cinema debuts with this movie. The movie sticks to the main narrative of the epic Ramayana but has a modernised plot that shows Ravana's point of view.

Hum Saath Saath Hain

Sooraj Barjatya's film 'Hum Saath Saath Hain' chronicles the internal conflicts of a wealthy Chaturvedi family. 'Hum Saath Saath Hain' has characters that resemble Lord Ram, Lady Sita, King Dasharatha, and Kaikeyi, yet it is not a direct adaptation of The Ramayana.
