Speaking to India Today, Gajendra Chauhan said, “I had booked tickets to watch this film, but for some reason my conscience refused to believe that I should go and watch it in a theatre. Actually, after watching everything, watching the trailer and short clips, I realized that this movie is not worth it. I don’t want to compromise on my beliefs. I want to see Lord Ram as Lord Shri Ram.”
“Yeh ladki hui soch ka naateeja hai (It is a product of low thinking). You write as you think. Lyricist Manoj Muntashir was given the task of writing the dialogues for the film. He copied things from various sources And messed it up. He is a very arrogant man. Rahi Masoom Raza Sahab has not achieved even an inch of what he wrote in Mahabharata.”
