It’s overlong and overwrought but Ramayana: Rise Of A Legend is a broadly entertaining origin story that comes to life when the set-pieces (and flying elephants) take centre stage.

As so often with Indian cinema, this movie reminds you of the forthright, unselfconscious storytelling energy that popular Hollywood films had in the 1950s and 60s... It’s a rather amazing adventure.
