Featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash, the film is being praised for its scale, visual effects, IMAX 3D experience and emotional depth. Joining audiences and critics in celebrating the film are several prominent filmmakers and actors, who have shared their appreciation after watching it.
#Ramayana… the sheer scale of the film and the visuals on the big screen are spectacular to watch. Ranbir as Rama, especially from the Vanavasam onwards, is serene yet magnificent. Yash brings a menacing presence as Ravana, while Sai Pallavi is graceful as Sita. The pre-climax and climax… loved every bit of it. Congratulations @malhotra_namit, @niteshtiwari22 and the entire team on bringing such an ambitious vision so beautifully to the screen. 🙏
