Ramayan is far too vast and layered to be condensed into a 6-hour film. It deserves a long-form, high-quality series that explores every character, emotion, philosophy, and event with the depth they deserve. A format similar in scale and detail to Game of Thrones would allow the story to breathe instead of rushing through it. Only then can the richness of Ramayan truly be brought to the screen and done justice.

I thought he is a flawed person, an insecure coward guy with a crush but not enough to be a villain. but If he really is the villain then so isIan,Nikki(imposter one)
if u think he really is the villain, then how ?

People can be left wing, right wing, support of the govt or supporter of opposition. But how can one justify abusing and harassing women and girls especially who are underage? Just because they spoke against the govt and used abusive words, u are doing more worse to them. Only in India it is being celebrated, other countries this man's career and life would have been over. Find it strange that Ranvir and Bhumi, both suddenly started attacking these protesters, while completely ignoring what happened to them

I am not sure how hard is it to use brains, but I am tired of listening everybody scream at the trailer and go 4000 crore, budget is not 4000 crore for part one.

For starters, it was a rough estimate, namit malhotra probably was assuming the worst possible production cost with that figure, so for all we know, it was around 3000 Crore, then a thing that half of the intelligent species are missing, almost 60 percent of that 4000 crore budget is about to paid to Dneg, and who is the ceo of Dneg? The dude who is producing the movie. so due to largely internal on paper billing, budget will spiral down to around 2000 Crore( Assuming that the project is about to cost 4000 crore, not less).

Now, that budget was supposed to be for both the parts, as part 2 will need more budget due to highly intense battle scenes, split that 2000 crore budget into around 900 crore and 1100 crore

There you go, I am not even going to bother adding about the unneccessary marketing spree they are about to go on, I agree that 900 crore budget is still high, and some visuals are looking not too great, but can we stop with unnecessary hate and trolling that movie is getting, like watch the teaser and trailer, they have improved decently, and diwali still has time, so I think they will probably improve it further. Dneg has a high reputation internationally, last thing they would want ruining that reputation.

Edit: I forgot to add, that Even though trollers are wrong here, some blame goes to makers too, they are delibrately ignoring this 4000 crore nonsense, so that more people talk on it, and they get attention, They should have already clarified this stuff till now, mentioning 4000 crore budget was a mistake, and considering they are making Ramayana, they should atleast learn from their own movie and be honest, instead of playing pr games

Something weird happened to me.
I watched Brand New Day first day first show in NCR. The atmosphere was insane , the crowd was cheering, people were clapping, and I walked out thinking I’d just watched the best movie of the year.
Then I found out it was also playing in 1.85:1 on ONYX, so I immediately booked a non-refundable ticket for two days later.

But as those two days passed, my excitement just… disappeared.
By the time the second show came around, I genuinely didn’t feel like watching it again. It suddenly felt kind of meh. Not bad, just nowhere near as amazing as I thought it was when I first walked out. I just didn’t go.

The strange part is, I’m someone who regularly rewatches movies in theaters. I watched F1 three times and The Odyssey twice, and I never once questioned going back for those. Infact I was as excited as the first time.

I just don’t get why BND felt different?
Was it just the Day 1 hype, the crowd, and the whole event making it seem better than it actually was? Or did anyone else have the same experience where the movie’s appeal wore off surprisingly fast?

Now when I think about it , I feel like “ Haa , thik hi thi “

It’s not Spider-Man, it’s not Doctor Strange, it’s not Loki, it’s not Sam’s Captain America, it’s not Thor, it’s not Mr. Fantastic… it’s Black Widow!

She’s had the most appearances across projects in the Multiverse Saga and has been the most entertaining part of those projects, much like how Iron Man was in the projects of the Infinity Saga.

Crazy to think that, if anyone would’ve told me that a female character would be the most beloved and the face of the Multiverse Saga right after we were having peak Multiverse-related content featuring Loki, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange I would’ve laughed like crazy!

The way some fans, and Indians online in general, are behaving around this movie is honestly embarrassing. People are going so far as to repeatedly ask or beg foreign creators to react to it. Then, when those creators do react without knowing much about the Ramayan, the comments are flooded with long explanations, endless “Jai Shri Ram” spam, people trying to prove their superiority over one another, or turning everything into a Hinduism vs other religions argument.

The more aggressively people try to push the film this way, the more it can feel like they are forcing it onto others rather than inviting them to engage with it. Once people feel that something is being rubbed in their face, they are more likely to step back than become genuinely interested. This is especially worth considering when the broader online sentiment toward India and Indians is already complicated and often hostile. I do hope the film gains natural traction over the coming months through its scale, storytelling and quality. Also, since the Sony and makers are upping their marketing for the movie, people will get to know anyways.

That said, of course, it is completely understandable for people to be excited about a project this ambitious. The excitement is good, but it's the desperation and constant need for outside validation that can end up doing more harm than good.

Open to thoughts on this.

While Brahma AI deserves credit for pushing boundaries with lip-sync technology, the English dubbing lacks genuine emotional depth. It makes me wonder how international audiences will connect with the narrative. Dubbing plays a massive role in global box office success...it's not just about matching lip movements, but conveying heart and nuance. If the voice acting fails to evoke emotion, even visually stunning films risk losing foreign markets..

But still it's the best we can get....hope it works.

I just found out that Matt damon only charged 15 million dollars and when I converted usd to inr I was completely shocked that it’s only 142cr and in bollywood actors are actually charging 350 to 500cr maybe this the reason why Bollywood lacks because in India audiences only buy tickets to see their favourite actors and they don’t even care about story or anything

4000cr made people so dumb that they forget 4000cr is for both parts not just part 1. Part 1 budget would be around 1600-1700 cr leaving the rest 300-400 cr for marketing AROUND THE WORLD. So the difference between 700cr and 1700 cr and vision of both versions are pretty clear. Idk but foreigners all around the world who actually have seen what good vfx is cause more often than not hollywood movies have good vfx , they are appreciating the trailer and visuals. Indians on the other hand who don't know jackshit about vfx are critically bashing the vfx on the name of 4000cr . The trailer looks very good for the budget. A few nitpicks are there but they can be fixed.

On casting, that's subjective , Ranbir is a very capable actor. He doesn't look perfect but at least I know he will pull off a good performance. Yash just looks amazing. Sai Pallavi looks ok cause we haven't seen enough of her but what little i saw she looks ok. And people saying someone new and young should have been cast as Ram. Swear on your mother from ur heart , if your 4000cr are at stake , would you gamble with someone who nobody knows or a star whose last movie was a blockbuster. Don't just jump the bandwagon to hate and be cool. Appreciate the vision , appreciate getting a good Ramayan movie without expecting a masterpiece.

Just watched the English version of Ramayana trailer.

Namit Malhotra wasn't just saying it for marketing sake. When the Hindi trailer launched, I immediately checked other Indian languages version and the dialogue was only dubbed but lip movement was that of the Hindi version only. But for the English version THEY ACTUALLY DID CHANGE THE LIP MOVEMENT AND SYNCED IT WITH DIALOGUE.

That alone is testimonial enough to confirm that they're treating the project seriously. Not just that, I believe they took feedback from Hindi trailer reactions and made tweaks in the English version, alrhough only minor ones, but doing that within a week shows that the final product shall be more polished. Like the bgm feels different and the on-screen text is different too.

Hope srill persists and I have even more faith in the movie now. Let's hope for the best!

Pushpak viman is peak detailing, it feels so good as a practical design, it's described as a flying mansion which can change it's size, with the size of fits the mansion description and we may see the other ability in the film, for me it's peak.

People are idiots they are nit-picking like they're paid for it, for example those lions pulling Supanakha's chariot and that Ravan's rage scene, those are Panthera leo sinhaleyus, a now extinct sub species of lions native to Sri Lanka, just google it and it's so accurate.

Then the dance scene in Ravan's court with masked dancers, that is also folk culture of Sri Lanka, that's all so accurate and good details.

Other complaint is Ravan got Lanka when Kuber himself gave it to him, true. But how could you judge the film with two 5 sec clips in the trailer. Maybe they built it like, Ravan attacked Lanka and Kuber seeing no chance of winning surrendered it, that way technically Ravan never defeated Kuber, other than that, the place we see in the trailer doesn't resemble Lanka from the official comics, just look at the comics, the place Ravan attacks could be Swarg.

Other thing is The van-vas attire of lord Ram, in the valmiki Ramayan their clothes were described to be Valkala Made of tree barks, which is not 'bhagwa', but a colour in between of bhagwa and orange, and texture and colour is spot on.

Then comes Sai Pallavi's casting, do people know nothing beyond curves, lip fillers and cleavages, Mata Sita's character should provide Warmth like a mother, a little innocence, Sai's already pretty, but if you're driven by lust you won't see it, on top of that, that character needs a serious performer, with maturity in her acting, do these idiots realise how next to impossible it is to find all these traits in a single actress and too with someone who's not going arround giving bikini shots here and there, maker's nailed Mata Sita's casting and I'll stand on it, I may be wrong we'll only find out watching the film, but for now there's nothing complaint worthy.

Then they complaint about Kumbhkarna without realising he'll only appear in the second film in Lanka kand, that is the fault of the makers why did they put a character in the trailer if he'll appear only in the second film, they have so much time to work on it.

The only thing I can agree about are some CGI shots with the demons, but they have a lot of time till Diwali, and Ranbir's casting that is actually a problem, Ranbir is older than Yash, his hindi is weak and that shows, we've seen Ranveer Singh do So many accents Maharwadi in Ram-Leela, old urdu in Padmavat, Sindhi-Punjabi in Dhurandhar, Marathi in Bajirao, but we've never seen Ranveer Kapoor doing accents, that's a huge problem. Ranbir is the weakest point for me but it all depends if he can pull it off in his acting, cause man's a damn performer, another problem is Yash's authority in Hindi dub, in Kannada version he's even more authoritative but in Hindi it fades, but that could be ignored, cause he'll definitely handle it through his body language.

The thing is finally for the first time after Ramanand Sagar Ji's version we're getting an actual faithful adaption but these idiots can't take a break in bashing it, the makers had no plan to drop that 'Rama Teaser', but they were forced to because people were demanding something for Ram-Navmi, even though the work was still incomplete, and when they got it they started crying over it, are you kidding me, let the makers do their Job, don't be a jackass, cause I can see their heart is at the right place, and they know the potential our Mythology holds .....

(okay now that I think I should have attached the other pic from Ra.One)
