'Anek Ramayan' emerged out of a performance that parents whose children go to the same school, in Delhi, put together for their children. It was initially intended as a Ramlila production, but when they began working on the script, the parents had to confront questions of how to integrate their own versions of the Ramayana and accommodate others. The film looks at the evolving processes of conflict and consensus as agreement was achieved about the final presentation. The play has scenes as they literally appear in various versions. It also features contemporary songs and recitations as well as contesting exchanges between parents.
