From the studio that gave us the stunning VFX of The Odyssey, Dune: Part 1 and Part 2, Blade Runner 2049, Interstellar, and Inception, Namit Malhotra’s DNEG is using the most cutting-edge technology to deliver the ancient sacred narrative, The Ramayana, to the entire world at roughly the same time. Technology is using knowledge, tools, and skills to solve problems and make human tasks easier.

With the global release of Nitesh Tiwari’s film Ramayana: Part 1 hitting theaters in early November, there’s still time to read the first half of The Ramayana in a fun and deep way. Here’s the email that the people who’ve already signed up are about to receive!

The Odyssey and The Ramayana: Two epics in the truest sense of the word. They’re both long-form poems with Gods, monsters, and humans interacting.

Namit Malhotra and Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1 is due to come out in theaters worldwide early November.

Thousands of people read or re-read The Odyssey before Christopher Nolan’s triumphant interpretation hit the silver screen earlier this year.

Currently I stand where my love of cinema and an equally powerful love of the great Indian epics intersect. Story is life, and our lives are a story.

Dear One,

Sometimes a cultural moment asks for you, specifically, to stand up, raise your hand, and make yourself available as a resource.

I find myself in such a moment.
