The first official teaser trailer for Ramayana just dropped, giving fans a glimpse into the upcoming cinematic adaptation of the Indian epic, headlined by Ranbir Kapoor. Following the footage’s launch, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the CGI and Kapoor’s portrayal of Lord Rama.
Ramayana fans are loving Ranbir Kapoor’s Lord Rama in new trailer
Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal of Lord Rama in Ramayana seems to have already captivated fans, even though they only got glimpses of it in the trailer.
“Looks promising,” a user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). They admitted their initial skepticism of Kapoor’s casting, stressing that they now had faith in his capability to play him. Furthermore, they praised the visual effects and cinematography, adding, “Let’s hope they do justice with the historical details, dialogues and screenplay.”
Meanwhile, another user affirmed their belief in Kapoor’s ability to do justice to Lord Rama. They noted, “That calm charm, soft innocence, and quiet strength he naturally carries the vibe you’d expect from Shri Ram.”
A fan showered immense praise on Kapoor’s look and acting as Rama, making their feelings clear with a simple fiery emoji.
Yet another declared Kapoor’s Rama as “ABSOLUTELY STUNNING,” emphasizing their reaction with mind-blown face, fire, and explosion emojis.
All fans aren’t fond of Ramayana’s CGI so far
In contrast to Kapoor’s acting as Rama, the CGI and visuals in Ramayana received mixed-to-negative responses.
A fan remarked that the film looked like a “free trial of Unreal Engine with AI background presets” despite being made on a “₹4000 crore budget.” They added, “Big budget, but the visuals are giving low graphics mode.”
Meanwhile, another fan slammed the first shot of the trailer, labeling it “horrific.” However, they praised the other shots in the footage.
Another fan noted that the film was “visually better” than most Indian movies. While they lauded the music, shots, and cinematography, including the Pushpak Viman look, they took issue with some of the action sequences, saying they looked “jittery and slightly video-game-ish.” However, they shared their hope that post-production could fix the issues, noting how the movie still had 6-7 months till its release.
Another fan commented, “Sir it’s humble and genuine request plz do some more work on vfx.”
Ramayana is designed as a two-part release, both filmed for IMAX screens. Part 1 launches on Diwali 2026 while Part 2 hits the big screen on Diwali 2027. Besides Kapoor, the films feature Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, Yash, Ravi Dubey, and Kajal Aggarwal, among others.
