The audience seemed unimpressed by Kalank. However, the Dharma movie has some magnificent moments, such as a scene that takes place during Dussehra celebrations. The scene in which Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan first interact had a lovely background sequence of Ravan on fire.

Ra.One

The movie Ra. One starring Shah Rukh Khan, did not do well at the box office, but it left the audience with many messages, particularly about how virtue always wins out against evil. The movie was a sci-fi-infused modern rendition of the Ramayana. Arjun Rampal, playing the role of Ra. One, is seen striding against a flaming Raavan effigy after he enters real life after appearing in a video game.

Swades
