Netizens are impressed with Ramayana's 'Rama' teaser

Netizens have accepted Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and also praised his performance in the over 2-minute teaser. However, they were quick to point out the weak VFX. What was common in their comments was a mention of Adipurush. Helmed by Om Raut, the film received heavy criticism from the critics and audience for its dialogues, screenplay and visuals. Eventually, the film emerged as a box office bomb.

Praising Ranbir's teaser, a user wrote, "After Adipurush, we needed this healing. THIS is how you respect and represent our history." Another wrote, "Now that's why Ravana’s famous flying chariot/plane is known as the Pushpaka Vimana...learn something Adipurush folks!" A third user wrote, "Om Raut be like: Ab underground hone ka samay aa chuka hain."

"I watched it twice. First time, I was just looking for vfx which felt not up to the mark given the reputation of DNEG. when i watched it second time, i was not focusing on vfx, so i realised they have done amazing work in costume and set design and the only dialogue uttered was "RAM", probably by raja Dashrath, which felt heavy. so i am expecting they have done great work in dialogues, writing and emotional depth, which will solidify this epic not just as mythology but as our history. but again "VFX IS THE ISSUE HERE", they must resolve it," a user wrote. Another user wrote, "That 'Ram' was the last word uttered by King Dasharatha, and he felt it."

"Was ready for a 30-40 sec glimpse , no way they released a 2:38 seconds of teaser , this one feels legit what India can truly present in global level. Mind is blown," a user wrote.

Criticising the VFX, a user wrote, "The trailer feels a bit jittery, like the frames aren’t rendered smoothly enough. Honestly expected better from an 8-time Oscar-winning VFX company. But yeah, there’s still time before the release, so it’s too early to judge the whole film based on just this. Hoping it turns out great." Another wrote, "FX does not look promisable. Some scenes make me feel like video game graphics, while some scenes look like also AI Generated."

Clarifying the VFX issue, a user explained, "This movie is filmed for imax so we can't feel the vibes and graphics from mobile phone. Real vibe comes only in theatre. So don't disappoint from graphics and bgm."

Inspired by the ancient epic Ramayana, the film revolves around the story of Lord Rama, believed to be a form of Lord Vishnu. It follows his journey as a prince of Ayodhya, his exile, and his battle with Ravana. Apart from Ranbir, the film also stars Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. The music for the film is composed by Hans Zimmer and A. R. Rahman.

The first part of Ramayana is set to release in theatres during Diwali 2026, while the second part is expected to release in Diwali 2027.
