Must Watch: Sita Sings The Blue

If you can, watch this film. Don't miss it.

I think it will never get released in India, since it goes anti-Ram. A lady's real story was made 'around' Ramayana. And...all by herself...the entire animation.

Never got a release in USA except fests courtesy the music (songs by Annete Hanshaw) rights issue, but likely the film would have made it into Top-5 oscar for animation, and this is just 2-D, made by Nina Paley who took around 4-5 years. (She got ditched by her boy-friend, who went to Trivandrum and she made this 'fun' story.)

(Even the torrent is now available.)

My favorite song is at 1.05 (sung by luv-kush; listen to the lyrics and you know what the film is about :-)

So watch...hope you have good connectivity.
