Technical Excellence:

It involved over 450 artists and 100,000 hand-drawn frames. Notable animators from Studio Ghibli were among the staff, contributing to its "Ghibli-esque charm" and fluid action sequences. Beware: Some DVD releases cut the violent battle

• Beware: Some DVD releases cut the violent battle scenes (Rama piercing Vali; the final war) to achieve a "U" rating. The original uncut DVD (often the Japanese or Indian "Home Video" release) runs approx. 2 hours 25 minutes. Check the back of the box. If it says 2 hours or less, it is censored.

• Directors: Yugo Sako, Koichi Sasaki, and Ram Mohan (the father of Indian animation).
• Runtime: Approximately 135 minutes (later trimmed for international markets).
• Original Language: English and Hindi (with a notable Hindi dub featuring the voices of stalwarts like Shatrughan Sinha as Lord Rama).
• Music: Composed by Vanraj Bhatia (India) and traditional Japanese instruments, creating a hauntingly beautiful fusion.
