Choreographed by Sheejith Krishna with musical score by O.S.Arun, it was part of the three-day festival ’Satkriya’, a fundraiser organised by The School. In the war sequence, Rama and Ravana had similar movements that did not bring to the fore the confrontation. Vishwamitra transforming into Gautama and coming back to his original self in the Ahalya episode needed some fine tuning too. O.S.Arun has developed a signature style of singing by using a medley of musical expressions and swara passages. Some fine editing can elevate ‘Ramakatha’ from being just one more addition to a series of interpretations of the Ramayana.
