Sita Sings the Blues

Sita Sings the Blues is a 2008 American animated musical romantic comedy-drama film written, directed, produced and animated by American artist Nina Paley. It intersperses events from the Ramayana with light-hearted but knowledgeable discussion of historical background by Indian shadow puppets, musical interludes voiced with tracks by Annette Hanshaw, and scenes from the artist's own life.
