Social media users who caught the first glimpse of Ramayana took to their social media accounts to share their first reviews. Most of the comments lavished praise on Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram.

Prabhas' Adipurush was also massively criticised shoddy VFX in the film. Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana takes note from this, and it is shown in the spectacular visual effects of the movie. Namit Malhotra's company has received a special shoutout from netizens after Ramayana's first glimpse VFX left many awestruck. 

Mounted on a budget of ₹835 crore, Yash, who essays the role of Ravan, is also the co-producer of Ramayana. Fans of the Rocking Star have flooded social media with their appreciation post. However, the first glimpse of Ramayana featured only a small glimpse of the actor as the demon king, Ravan.
