The newly released mythological project Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha has found itself caught in a massive wave of online chatter and social media memes, but this time the attention stems from an unexpected blunder rather than the film’s actual narrative scale. Directed by Abhishek Singh and featuring a star cast including Dev Sharma as Lord Rama and social media personality Anjali Arora as Goddess Sita, the movie entered cinema halls with limited pre-release buzz. However, things quickly escalated across digital platforms when a promotional character poster from the movie started going viral for all the wrong reasons. Eagle-eyed social media users quickly spotted a glaring anachronism in the background artwork where a member of the vanar sena—specifically associated with the depiction of Sugriv—was seen sporting modern spectacles. The hilarious oversight immediately triggered a meme fest across platforms like X and Instagram, with netizens flooding comment sections with witty jokes, questioning whether optical glasses were somehow a fashion staple back in the Treta Yuga, and jokingly labeling the character as an accidental time traveler.
As the jokes and heavy trolling continued to multiply across the internet, the makers of the film firmly pushed back against the criticism, refusing to take the severe backlash lying down. Addressing the viral mockery, representatives and team members clarified that the image circulating widely online is strictly a piece of promotional graphic artwork rather than an actual operational frame or motion picture shot from the movie itself. Challenging the massive wave of online critics, the team effectively dismissed the uproar by asking detractors to point out or show the exact scene inside the movie where any such continuity error exists. They emphasized that internet users often jump to conclusions based on raw graphic designs without checking the feature inside theaters. Despite the clarification, the project has already faced its share of public scrutiny regarding its casting choices, visual effects, and overall promotional material. As the debate surrounding the creative decisions and poster design continues to trend across entertainment handles, the makers remain hopeful that audiences will look past online memes and experience the narrative firsthand on the big screen.
