The Ramayana teaser is finally here, and people just can’t stop talking about it. Fans have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and the reactions have been a healthy mix of excitement and honest feedback.
The teaser wastes no time setting the mood — this is clearly a big, ambitious film. But like most first looks, it has its highs and lows.
The Music Hits Hard
Honestly, the music might be the best part of this teaser. A. R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer working together sounds like a dream on paper, and it actually delivers. The background score adds real weight to every scene. There are moments where you genuinely get goosebumps — and for a teaser, that’s saying a lot.
Ranbir Kapoor Feels Right for Ram
No overacting, no drama — Ranbir just looks the part. His body language is calm and dignified, which fits Lord Ram perfectly. He doesn’t look like an actor trying hard to play a god. He simply looks believable, and that’s harder to pull off than it sounds. Viewers are already rooting for him, and rightfully so.
Yash Walks In and Owns the Screen
Yash barely gets much time in the teaser, but he doesn’t need it. One look at him as Ravan and you understand why people are excited. The intensity, the styling, the sheer screen presence — it all works. This feels like a role that genuinely suits him.
The VFX Isn’t Quite There Yet
The film looks grand — the sets are massive and the costumes are detailed. But a few VFX moments in Ramayana look a little rough, particularly during some of the action sequences. It’s noticeable, and people have pointed it out. That said, the film still has time before release, so there’s room to fix things.
A Story That Deserves Care
Director Nitesh Tiwari seems to understand the responsibility he’s taken on. The teaser doesn’t feel like it’s chasing trends or trying too hard. It feels sincere, which matters a great deal when you’re telling a story this close to people’s hearts.
Who Appears in the Ramayana Teaser — and Who Is Missing
Ranbir Kapoor takes center stage in the teaser as Lord Ram, and he looks the part completely — blue skin, simple vanvas clothing, and eyes that carry both peace and pain at the same time. His portrayal feels serene and deeply respectful of the character. Yash as Ravan shows up briefly toward the end, but that short appearance is enough to leave a mark.
The Pushpak Vimaan scene in particular has people talking, even with a few VFX complaints attached to it. However, the teaser is noticeably quiet about some of the most awaited characters. Sunny Deol as Hanuman is nowhere to be seen, which upset a lot of fans, especially since the teaser dropped on Hanuman Jayanti — a day when expectations were sky high.
Sai Pallavi as Sita also gets no screen time, keeping her role completely under wraps for now. Others like Lara Dutta and Indira Krishnan don’t appear either. It’s clear the makers are playing it smart — show just enough to build excitement, and save the bigger reveals for later.
Bottom Line
It’s a strong start. The performances look promising, the music is already a highlight, and the scale of the film is hard to miss. The VFX needs some more work, but that’s fixable. If everything comes together well, this could genuinely be one of the biggest films Indian cinema has seen in a long time.
