How the characters connect
Ayodhya and Lanka are the two courts to keep track of. Rama, Sita and Lakshmana are at the center of the Ayodhya storyline. Ravana and Mandodari belong to Lanka’s royal household. If you’re new to the epic, the brothers’ bond and Rama and Sita’s marriage explain why the exile is a family story as much as a political one. Sony official film site · The Guardian’s film coverage
