Ramayana First Glimpse Review: A Cinematic Triumph in the Making! Ranbir Kapoor Is Flawless as Rama, VFX & BGM Hit It Out Of The Park

Koimoi 1 month ago

The much-awaited moment is finally here. Namit Malhotra, Nitesh Tiwari and team have finally unveiled the first glimpse of Ramayana. It introduces Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, and we're already convinced that no other actor could have looked this promising!

The graphics are top-notch and Indian cinema could be gearing up for one of its biggest masterpieces. Scroll below for our detailed review.

Decoding the Ramayana: First glimpse!

The 2-minute, 38-second promo opens with a sweeping cinematic tone, beginning with striking war visuals before transitioning into a grand welcome for the ultimate "protector," Lord Rama, in Ayodhya. As it unfolds, the promo offers glimpses of the Ramayana, presenting key moments in quick yet powerful sequences. Among them is the deeply emotional departure for Vanavas, where Rama leaves alongside Sita Maa and Lakshman. Overall, it promises a retelling of this historic epic in a way that feels both visually spectacular and rooted in authenticity.

Ramayana First Glimpse Review

We've been hearing that Ramayana ranks among the most expensive films in the history of Indian cinema-and Namit Malhotra seems to justify that scale from the very first frame. The visual effects stand out instantly, setting a benchmark that feels unlike anything previously seen in Indian films.

Ranbir Kapoor appears almost tailor-made for the role of Lord Rama. There's a striking sense of conviction in both his expressions and body language. Even within a brief two-minute glimpse, he feels completely immersed in the character. The radiance, strength, and physicality all align seamlessly, while his action sequences leave you asking for more.

Director Nitesh Tiwari seems to have taken clear lessons from the failure of Adipurush. This time, there's a noticeable effort to preserve the emotional and cultural essence of the Ramayana, something audiences deeply value. By elevating the VFX and background score while maintaining narrative authenticity, he appears to be aiming for a visually grand yet faithful retelling. The collaboration between Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman further amplifies the experience - the coming together of two musical powerhouses delivers a score that truly resonates.
