They have cooked (sic),” while another wrote, “Hands down, the best trailer I've ever watched. #Ramayana is on another level! The visuals are breathtaking, the VFX look world-class, and every frame feels cinematic. It's 100,000x better than Adipurush's trailer. Ranbir Kapoor looks phenomenal as Lord Ram, and Yash absolutely owns every second he's on screen as Ravana. With a reported Rs 1,500 crore budget (including marketing), Rs 3,000 crore worldwide is absolutely achievable if the film delivers on this scale (sic).”A third user chimed in and wrote, “Just watched the Ramayana trailer and I’m still absorbing it. The scale is insane, the frames feel cinematic yet deeply rooted, and the emotion hits hard. every one of them leaves a mark in just a few minutes. This trailer #ranbirkapoor #Ramayana #Worldoframayana #yash. A truly mind-blowing trailer (sic).” Another echoed similar sentiments and praised the film’s background score. “The trailer for #RanbirKapoor and #Yash's #RAMAYANA has absolutely peaked! #ARRahman and #HansZimmer's magical score elevates every frame, while the stunning VFX and breathtaking set pieces make this look like a true cinematic spectacle. Can't wait to witness this magnum opus! (sic),” the X user wrote.There were even some who seemed to be not impressed by the trailer and felt that the very essence and soul of the epic was lost somewhere. One of the X users wrote, “#Ramayana trailer was soulless and did not evoke a single emotion. Maybe it’s due to Namit, as he has hyped this movie and the VFX so much that I was prepared to be blown away, but honestly it was a dud. A bland interpretation of an Epic (sic),” while another wrote, “After watching the #Ramayana trailer, three major questions came to my mind -Where was Bajrangbali? Why was there not a single frame or scene of Lord Hanuman in the entire trailer? Glorification of Ravana: Did anyone else feel like the trailer attempted to glorify Ravana ? Omission of Lakshman Rekha: Why was there no mention or reference to the Lakshman Rekha? (sic).”The trailer has also sparked excitement around the supporting cast, including Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. Fans are now eagerly looking forward to seeing their complete performances on the big screen.Ramayana trailerNitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana trailer introduces the central conflict between Ram and Raavan while offering a glimpse into the epic world recreated for the big screen.
