While some fans are in awe of the visuals, others have expressed disappointment, particularly regarding the VFX. A section of viewers compared the visuals to Adipurush, Om Raut’s directorial adaptation of the same epic, which received criticism for its visual effects.
Some viewers also drew comparisons with Ramayan by Ramanand Sagar, often considered one of the best adaptations. According to them, the innocence of Lord Rama seems to be missing in this version.
The chat around the film has already begun across platforms like X, Reddit, and Instagram.
One user on Reddit wrote,''who are the people that are saying this looks good 😭 shots look ai enhanced or something and 3rd one reminds me of adipurush''
