And all other honourable team members

My name is Varun Raturi and I am a kid of the late 90s from India. I was 9 years old when I first watched the movie "Ramayan the legend of Prince Ram" telecasted on tv during Diwali. When I started watching it I was by myself but the beauty, the emotions, and the breathtaking animation especially the design and Character of Hanuman attracted my whole family and we all watched it together, whenever they shouted "Jai Shree Ram" we shouted the same, whenever Hanuman did something, my cousins and I were overjoyed with excitement. That very day something about Diwali changed. And it changed throughout India. Watching "Ramayan the legend of Prince Ram" became compulsory for kids like me on Diwali every time every year. Watching this movie became the second most important thing with burning crackera being the first. I wish Yugo Sako Sama was still alive as I wanted him to read it as well and find out how thankful we are for his great gift. This continued for several years but then things changed and slowly this masterpiece became a lost legend. I myself love Lord Hanuman and it is my love for him that forced me to start searching for this movie on the internet. I tried really hard to search for the high definition quality of the movie but the versions available were only of 480p quality which is very poor. But I didn't lose hope. I kept on searching for it. I buyed the DVDs available on Internet as well but the print was disappointing. I tried contacting legendary Ram Mohan sir but I had hardly started searching about him when his religious soul had already departed. I was a little bit disappointed but then I was able to find out that the movie was screened in Japan during 2019 with the original 35 mm film roll and my hope of watching this movie in a remastered or high definition version was ignited again. I tried to find out on some Japanese sites like "Play Asia" but it was not there. Yesterday I came across a page on a Facebook page dedicated to "Ramayan the legend of Prince Ram" and found that the movie is getting screened in several Indian cities as well but with the dvd available from internet. It is a request from the bottom of millions of hearts from the late 90s to remaster this movie into high definition and launch it in India and possibly worldwide. We as humans from different countries might have our differences in thought, actions but when it comes to our younger generations, our kids we want them to be religious, full of truth and courage and this masterpiece served this purpose for us. Now I and many more like me want the kids of today to witness this masterpiece on big screens and even in homes as well. Moreover, this will develop a strong cultural understanding between the two nations and more and more doors will be opened for projects like this. I am even aware of the fact that it might be a very difficult and expensive favor to ask for but this masterpiece was may more than a 2:30 hr movie. It was a lesson, a hope for the righteous people struggling in life and a beautiful guideline for the people who have lost their ways because of the hardships in the fight of life.

Varun Raturi and many more kids of the late 90s.
