“Need to research before portray the story. In movie,nShankuntlau0026#39;s friends were talking about Ramayanau0026#39;s characters but it happened much later.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn Ramayana as brahamrishi Viswamitra shared his past experiences with Shri Ram and Laxman ji that sensuality misguide male and can keep away from deeds by giving example of Menaka and his relationship. Menaka was the mother of Shakuntla and Vishwamitra was her father. Rishi after achieving the degree of Brahamrishi, invited for a meeting in devlok by Indra and Vashishtha. Later it was decided Vishwamitra will take test of king Harishchandra who was the greatest follower of truth. Between Harishchandra and lord Rama there is huge generation gap. King Dushyant was contemporary of Chanchu (3-4 generations next to King Harishchandra)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo this story is chronologically defective with many more respect.”
