Comparing Krishnavataram to Ramayana, a user wrote, "So while scrolling YouTube the #Krishnavataram trailer poped up, and at the first glance and view, while I disliked Ramayana teaser and it didn't appeal me, I liked this one."
No fancy oscar wnner VFX, no fancy 4000 crore claim. But this trailer wins my heart. When you want to tell a story about culture, religion, roots, the intent and honestly matters more then the scale of it. This one is exactly the same," wrote another user.
