Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama is a collaborative project between Japan and India. Originally released in 1992, the film draws from the Indian epic Ramayana. Directed by Koichi Sasaki and Ram Mohan, with music by Vanraj Bhatia, it brings the story of Prince Rama to life.

This Japanese-Indian animated film retells the timeless story of Ramayana. Co-produced by Japan's Yugo Sako and India's Ram Mohan, it blends animation techniques from both countries. The narrative follows Prince Rama, an incarnation of the god Vishnu, on his quest to save his wife Sita, who is abducted by the demon king Ravana. Despite being hand-drawn and produced decades ago, the film continues to impress with its storytelling and visuals, preserving the core of Indian mythology.
