Many users appreciated Ranbir Kapoor's calm and fitting portrayal of Lord Rama while some called the teaser "mind-blowing" and applaud the effort behind the film.
I genuinely think Ranbir Kapoor has what it takes to do justice to Rama. That calm charm, soft innocence, and quiet strength he naturally carries the vibe you'd expect from Shri Ram.

Rama's story has always been timeless, showing that true greatness comes from putting duty, righteousness, and the greater good above personal desires. Nitesh Tiwari and Namit Malhotra bringing this to the big screen will let a new generation experience that power and…

Some viewers felt that the visuals were impressive but expected even more given the film's scale and budget.
The #Ramayana first look is decent and shows potential.

The scale looks promising, though the budget expectations are very high. Hoping future visuals and promos truly bring out the grandeur they're aiming for.
Excited to see how it shapes up.
A few pointed out that certain action sequences look slightly artificial, but believed that the post-production can improve them.
Visually better than most Indian movies but for @dneg @malhotra_namit, some of the action sequences look jittery and slightly video game-ish. Music, cinematography and shots like the #PushpakViman look STUNNING though. Release is still 6-7 months away, post prod can fix these????????

Some users noted the absence of traditional Sanskrit shlokas in the background for added authenticity.
Great ! Missing the Sanskrit Shlokas in the background….. would have added to the grandeur and awe !

A few remained optimistic and expressed a 'Goosebumps moment', and a few felt that criticism over a spectacular teaser comes by default.
This looks so beautiful and spectacular. No matter what you do there is always someone who will complaint.

Expecting more for the Ramayana movie ????????
Goosebumps in the last when i hear "Ram" and then he turn... maybe it's Maharaj Dashrath's last call.. or maybe it's mahabali Hanuman. ❤️????????

Positive vibes only.

The music is incredible. The VFX is the best I've seen so far in any Indian cinema.
Ranbir as Lord Rama looks amazing.
Ravan needs to carry that powerful aura, and Yash absolutely nailed it.
And I'm extremely excited to see Ravi Dubey as Laxman.
Peak!
Despite these scattered critiques, the overall response remains strongly positive. The teaser has successfully built anticipation, with audiences largely impressed by its tone, scale, and emotional connect.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, the film also stars Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol, and Ravi Dubey in key roles. With Part 1 set for a grand IMAX release in Diwali 2026, Ramayana has already made a strong first impression—one that many believe could grow even bigger in the months to come.
