The teaser of Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious film Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, has finally been unveiled, triggering a wave of excitement across audiences. Touted as one of the most expensive Indian films ever made, with a reported budget of ₹4,000 crore, the project has been in the works for over two years and continues to generate strong anticipation.

A Visually Striking First Glimpse
The 158-second teaser offers a grand visual experience, heavily driven by high-quality VFX and cinematic scale. From elaborate sets to detailed character frames, the glimpse suggests a film mounted on an epic scale. The teaser maintains a gripping pace, keeping viewers engaged throughout.

Ranbir Kapoor Impresses as Lord Ram
Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal of Lord Ram has emerged as the biggest highlight. Despite limited screen presence in the teaser, his calm demeanor and commanding presence have received widespread appreciation. Fans have particularly noted his balanced depiction, blending grace with strength.

Limited Reveal, High Curiosity

Some reactions highlighted the emotional and cultural significance of the film, with audiences expressing hope that it will do justice to the legacy of Ramayana. The teaser has also sparked discussions around its scale, storytelling approach, and faithfulness to the source material.

A Star-Studded Ensemble
The film boasts a powerful cast, with Sai Pallavi playing Sita and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. Sunny Deol is set to portray Hanuman, while Yash takes on the role of Ravana. The ensemble adds to the film’s scale and expectations.

Release Plans
Ramayana will be released in two parts. The first installment is scheduled to hit theatres during Diwali 2026, with the second part expected in 2027.
