Ramayana First Reviews: What Are The Reactions After Premiere
One viewers compared the scale of Ramayana to The Lord of the Rings and said: "There is nothing like Ramayana in the cinematic universe". He further added, "This movie is very grand and very epic. The character of Rama, that character is just wow. The cliffhanger in the end...I mean when that movie ended, I shouted 'no' because there is a second part of this film as well. The closest thing to this film is Lord Of The Rings and even that doesn't compare."
Another reviewer was all praise for Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's performance as Lord Ram and Ravana, respectively. "Ranbir Kapoor was sublime, Yash was magnetic. One of this year’s most immersive cinematic experiences. A grand spectacle," he wrote.
However, a popular Indian reviewer with an X page, Venky Reviews, had mixed reactions. He praised Yash and wrote, "Yash as Ravana is the biggest highlight and is superb, especially in his introduction portions. Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi are solid as Ram and Sita, though the divine aura and emotional weight don’t always fully translate on screen."
