'''''Sampoorna Ramayana''''' ({{Translation|The Complete Ramayana}}) is a 1961 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[Hindu mythological film]] directed by [[Babubhai Mistry]], based on the Hindu epic ''[[Ramayana]]'' by [[Valmiki]], starring [[Mahipal (actor)|Mahipal]] and [[Anita Guha]] as [[Rama]] and [[Sita]] respectively. The film was a box office hit,<ref>{{cite book |title=Ancient India's Myths and Beliefs|author=Charles Phillips |author2=Michael Kerrigan |author3=David Gould |publisher=The Rosen Publishing Group |year=2011|isbn=978-1448859900 |page=136 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=p3-RkE-Xxa0C&q=sampoorna+ramayana+1961&pg=PA136 }}</ref> and became a milestone in the history of [[Hindu mythology]].<ref>[[#Wa|Watkins, p. 89]]</ref> It was the second significant Hindi film based on Rama, after [[Vijay Bhatt]]'s hugely popular ''[[Ram Rajya (1943 film)|Ram Rajya]]'' (1943). Babubhai, known for his special effects throughout his career, made extensive use of effects to enhance dramatics.<ref>[[#Ba|Bakker, p. 96]]</ref> The film also made lead actor Anita Guha, who played the role of Sita, a household name. Lata Mangeshkar sang two of the most top-class semi-classical songs in this movie, namely "San Sanan, Sanan, Sanana, Ja Re O Pawan" and "Badalon Barso Nayan Ki Or Se", which are still very popular.<ref>{{cite news |title=Anita Guha dead |url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/009200706201550.htm |work=The Hindu |date=20 June 2007 }}</ref><br />
