Kalyug Aur Ramayan (lit. 'Kaliyuga and Ramayana') is a 1987 Indian Hindi-language drama film starring Manoj Kumar, Madhavi, Prem Chopra, Om Prakash, Bindu and Rajiv Goswami. The film, a modern adaptation of the ancient Indian epic Ramayana, was directed by Babubhai Mistri and produced by Shashi Goswami. The music was given by Kalyanji Anandji and lyrics by Maya Govind and Verma Malik.[1]
The film faced controversy, particularly from Hindutva (Hindu nationalist) groups like the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, on objections to the juxtaposition of Kaliyuga (the current dark age in Hinduism) with the religious text Ramayana in the title and the portrayal of deities from the latter who are situated in a contemporary debauched India. Originally titled Kalyug Ki Ramayan (lit. 'Ramayana of the Kaliyuga') the title was changed as mandated by the Central Board of Film Certification along with other edits to address religious concerns.[1]
