#JaiShriRam... Just watched the new glimpse - #Rama - from the most-awaited epic #Ramayana, and I am mesmerised. It is breathtaking, no doubt, but more importantly, the glimpse lives up to the massive, gigantic expectations. #RanbirKapoor looks fantastic as Lord Ram. The dignity, divinity, and power in him. The excellent visuals, superb VFX, and a killer background score by Hans Zimmer and A. R. Rahman make it truly grand.

#Ramayana Glimpse - Out of the Box! A never-before-seen cinematic experience on the Indian screen. The visuals, grandeur & background score are simply breathtaking! This epic tale is set to be retold with brilliant technical finesse & unmatched scale.

SPECTACULAR! Ranbir has nailed it as Lord Rama for me. I cannot wait to celebrate Diwali this year with #Ramayana on the biggest screen! Nitesh sir your craft is just awe-inspiring. Namit you have done what you promised!

RAMAYANA TEASER IS OUT NOW and it SCREAMS HISTORY BEYOND YOUR WILDEST IMAGINATIONS. This is INDIA's answer to #Avatar and all the Hollywood GRAND VFX FILMS.

@FilmiHindustani
For a film as big as #Ramayana, the teaser is underwhelming. VFX feels inconsistent and at times like generic AI work. A few shots of #RanbirKapoor stand out, but the overall impact is missing. Needs serious improvement.
Venky Reviews
@venkyreviews
#Ramayana Teaser falls short of expectations. The VFX does not match the scale of the project at all, and the AI usage feels too noticeable.

Man, this Ramayana teaser just hit different - like a punch to the soul. Those visuals? Pure heartbreak wrapped in gold.

#Ramayana : I genuinely appreciate the scale and effort that's gone into crafting these visuals.

Namit what have u freaking made, should never have doubted DNEG at the first place. This matches every level - Avatar, Dune, everything.

These are only a few of Ranbir's film characters. I didn't even mention Barfi, Tamasha or others. This man has proven his range time and again.

According to Valmiki Ramayana, Ravana defeats Kubera in a battle and seizes the Pushpaka Vimana. The design here is rooted in mythology.

Man expected more. Barring 5-6 frames which are exceptional, everything else is mid. Some shots are comparable to Adipurush.
Deepika Sharma
@Deepika_shrma18
Utter Disappointment. I had high hopes for this movie, but after seeing the glimpse, I'm totally let down.

@Speaks_Div
VFX is never a replacement for Practical Sets. It's supposed to be an addition working in-sync, together. Not an Alternative.

Rama moving in a thunderstorm without any movement of hair and clothes in the teaser of #Ramayana. Weak Detailing by Namit Malhotra!

@HPhobiaWatch
I don't see why CGI was needed for these scenes when they could've been shot beautifully in natural locations. SS Rajamouli is going all the way to Antarctica to film some parts...

@aresthethird2
#Ramayana teaser looked like AI crap. They shot this movie in a studio, not in real locations. 4000 crore budget feels like a scam or a money laundering scheme.
HUKUM_KA_IKKA
@HRITHIK_27_
Namit spent 4000cr on AI video. 1. Change blue turban to purple. 2. Without any moment of hair & clothes. 3. Kid bowing down and RK crossed him, same kid showering flowers.

Dear Bollywood, Please Don't Touch Ramayana. You call it truth and our history right in the title. Then how do you justify visuals that feel heavily inspired by The Lord of the Rings?
Nikhil Thakur
@nikthakur303
What the hell is this. The edit of this teaser is just ridiculous. Random shots were clipped. CGI is poor even the VFX looks flat.

Not my Shri Ram - alcoholic eyes and long face. Ranbir does not have even 1% aura or piousness of Shri Ram.
Mistri A
@mistriA20
Poor decision choosing Ranbir as Shri Ram. No Aura.
Vidushi Gehlot
@vidushigehlot_
The VFX feels exactly the one already made with Prabhas and Kriti Sanon. Your Rama is not giving 1% vibe of purushottam Ram.

#Ramayana every shot was inspired in the teaser and somehow each of them look bad compared to the original.

Making ramayana glimpse with AI wasn't enough so they are now making ramayana BTS with AI too.

The 4000 cr remake of Ramayana. Its a very difficult movie to make... It feels this happened in Central Europe. India coding is missing.

Alia Bhatt
@aliabhatt
"Some things don't need words. This feels like the start of something unforgettable. Diwali 2026 - we're waiting." Also called Ranbir's look "out of this world."
Karan Johar
@karanjohar
"Cannot wait!!!! Ranbir Kapoor embodies Lord Rama with divine reverence and piousness... his last turn on hearing his name was the piece de resistance of this spectacular first look. This is what a mega blockbuster looks and sounds like!"
Namit Malhotra
@iamnamitmalhotra
"14 cities. 5 temples. A billion hearts. One emotion echoed everywhere. RAMA." Also: "Rama is the greatest of all time because he lived a life where the choices he made were always in the benefit of the greater good."
Hrithik Roshan
@hrithikroshan
"Yes, bad VFX exists. It's sometimes so bad it's painful to watch. [But] you can't criticize the maker just cause he has chosen one style while you prefer another style. That's not fair. Wait till you watch the entire movie before you judge."
Sai Pallavi
@saipallavi.senthamarai
"With the blessings of Maa Sita, I get to experience her journey, along with pioneers picked by the divine to recreate the Epic! I pray that you all experience the wonder that we're working towards achieving!"

"Still not over this first look. Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama is all glory, grace, innocence, and purity. The visuals. The soundtrack. The scale. Absolute cinema. JAI SHREE RAMA"
Rakul Preet Singh
@rakulpreet
"Every generation has grown up with his name. Now the world will witness his legend. Maryada Purushottam Lord Rama."

@beautybylishma
"I had the honor of watching a preview of the trailer for Ramayana in Burbank, and I'm still feeling it. What Namit Malhotra is creating is nothing short of breathtaking. The scale, the vision, the energy... all of it felt powerful."

"Very grand, very beautiful. Bahut rich lag raha hai. Unhone bahut achhe se banaya hai. So now I'm awaiting the film."

"Ramayana in a global avatar. Best wishes to Nitesh Tiwari & the team."
Sunil Lahri (OG Lakshman)
@official_sunillahri
"Ranbir theek dikh rahe hai, but innocence thodi kam dikh rahi hai." Also said he "looks a little harsh" and suits more for Laxmana or Bharat.
Saket Patel ("Blue Turban Guy")
@saketpatel
"I'm an actor, and believe me, I'm not AI. Shot for this almost two years ago with real crowds on real sets, real me, and real Ranbir Kapoor in front of me. In 2026, if something looks too nice, people call it fake."
Bipasha Basu

Shweta Singh Kirti (SSR's Sister)

"Nobody in present day and age can play Rama as beautifully as Bhai would have played it. He radiates the strength of character that Ram Ji embodies."

"This is a hit and a miss for me! Ranbir looks good in a few shots but not so great in others. I think a younger Ranbir would have been much better, that said I'm definitely seated...can't wait for the other looks!"
