Not a single cast member feels right for their role. Not Sai Pallavi, not Ranbir Kapoor, not even Yash.
The dialogues feel weak, and the performances look lacklustre. So far, it feels more like a generic film than an epic like Ramayana.#Ramayana #RamayanaTrailer pic.twitter.com/e1FALuEfw6

While Yash received overwhelming praise, Ranbir Kapoor's portrayal of Lord Rama has sparked mixed reactions online. Some viewers appreciated his calm appearance, but others felt his dialogue delivery did not fully capture the essence of the iconic character.

A few users commented that his performance reminded them of his previous romantic roles rather than Lord Rama. However, many fans also pointed out that the trailer offers only a brief look at the character and believe the full film will provide a better understanding of his performance.
Overall, the Ramayana trailer has successfully generated massive excitement ahead of its release. Its breathtaking visuals, large-scale production and Yash's impressive portrayal of Ravana have become the biggest talking points. At the same time, Ranbir Kapoor's performance and the limited use of the much-awaited Hans Zimmer-AR Rahman score have sparked debate among fans.
Despite the mixed opinions, the trailer has achieved its biggest goal building anticipation for one of the most ambitious Indian films ever made. With a stellar cast, world-class visual effects and an epic story, Ramayana is shaping up to be one of the most awaited releases in Indian cinema.
