For the originally story, I read for the first week and listened to the audio book the next. I definitely missed a few things while reading on my own, but not so much listening to it. Watching the movie for the Ramayana helped clear up some fuzzy area's that I had had for the text. For example How did I miss Ravana having like ten heads...I also missed the part about Ravana personally capturing Sita. Not sure how.
The modern story could have been left out. I see the ties but it was kind of random. I mean the guy just telling the girl to not come back? At least in the Ramayana, Rama had a little bit of a reason (even though a stupid one) to not want Sita. The man in the movie had no reason to act like a jerk.
