Producer Namit Malhotra’s visual effects studio DNEG creates a visually breathtaking premise, perfect for the time the story is set in. The film’s massive canvas is visible in every frame, and almost all are picturesque. One doesn't feel like taking their eyes off the screen even for a moment. The action sequences are elaborate and very well executed. I particularly enjoyed the portions where Ram, Sita and Lakshman tackle a bunch of monsters in a cursed jungle and one involving the aged bird Jatayu and Ravana near the end of the film, which leads to Jatayu’s death. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/ramayana-part-1-review-yash-s-powerhouse-performance-and-jaw-dropping-vfx-fuel-nitesh-tiwari-s-epic-1793856323050">READ MORE HERE:&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>Namit added that the extra year will give the team enough time to bring the second instalment of Ramayana to life on the scale it demands.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“That extra year is what I genuinely believe we need to do justice to a film of this size. When you see Part 2, it will be a whole other story. We didn’t want to rush the job or get ahead of ourselves. We want to deliver the finale in the grandest way it deserves,” the producer said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/why-another-ramayana-producer-namit-malhotra-reveals-vision-behind-ranbir-kapoor-s-epic-1793777560479"><strong>Why another Ramayana? Namit Malhotra reveals vision behind Ranbir Kapoor's epic</strong></a></p><h2>‘Film was initially planned as a trilogy’</h2><p>Earlier, in a conversation with Review Nation, Namit revealed that the makers initially considered portraying the film as a trilogy but later decided to carry it forward into two parts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He shared, “I feel like we may sit back at the drawing board and see if there’s anything else we want to add or subtract, depending on how the world has received it. While we say that, we also have two different versions of the same film, with two different runtimes for Part One. Depending on how the next round of feedback goes, I’d love not to have to make two different versions. I’m sure Nitesh would also like to stick to one version.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/ranbir-kapoor-alia-bhatt-sunny-deol-and-others-attend-the-special-screening-of-ramayana-rise-of-a-legend-1793764693549"><strong>Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Sunny Deol attend the special screening of Ramayana</strong></a></p>

However, other netizens felt that the ‘’Jai Shri Ram'' song was rehashed from his 2000 track ‘’Thaniye Thananthaniye''.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Talking about the sheer scale of the project, Rahman admitted that this is new territory even for a global icon like him. "This is the most exciting project I’ve ever worked on. I've never done such a big movie ever in my life," gushed Rahman. &nbsp;With nearly 70 percent of the album already out, including the powerful track ‘Jai Jai Ram’, fans are already hooked, but Rahman promises that the best is yet to come as the film approaches its release. “It's a good time now, because we worked on this for almost three and a half years. And now, it's nice to see the response. ‘Jai Jai Ram’ is out, and almost 70 percent of the album is released. We have some surprises coming up next."</p>

Ramayana has released a few songs so far, including the Shiva Tandav track and the wedding number 'Mangal Rang', which many users have said felt more like a qawwali. Now, as the backlash grow, Rahman has reacted to the criticism.

<h2>About Ramayana</h2><p>Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the much-awaited epic is a two-part adaptation, and the cast features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Yash as Ravana and Sai Pallavi as Sita, alongside Sunny Deol, Ravie Dubey, Rakul Preet Singh, Lara Dutta, Arun Govil, Vivek Oberoi and Kunal Kapoor in key roles.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The first instalment will release during Diwali 2026, and the second film is expected to arrive around Diwali 2027.</p>

Amid the ongoing buzz about Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, clips from the trailer of the mythological epic has begun circulating online even before its official release. 


Ramayana is gearing up to become one of the biggest releases of 2026. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the mythological epic stars Ranbir Kapoor and Yash in the lead roles and fans are eagerly waiting for the release of its official trailer. While the makers initially planned to unveil the promotional video on July 24, it was postponed at the last minute. But clips from private screenings continue to surface online, leaving the fans divided. Ramayana trailer leaked Following its screening at the Pratham Sankalp event in New Delhi, an exclusive media preview in Mumbai and later at San Diego Comic-Con, the trailer began circulating online in snippets. After the Comic-Con screening, additional clips reportedly surfaced, with one X user even compiling several leaked videos into what appeared to be a nearly two-minute version of the trailer. However, it has not been verified yet. Also Read: Ranbir Kapoor-Yash's Ramayana trailer postponed Internet reacts The latest leaks have sparked a conversation among users. While many praised the visuals and scale of the film, others are unhappy that material from such a major production had appeared online before its official release. One X user wrote, "Only a day since @SonyPictures came on board as the global distributor for #Ramayana, and the WW conversation has already started. International media attention from platforms like @IGN and @Reuters, along with growing audience curiosity, highlights the scale of anticipation building around this epic." Another added, "The complete #Ramayana Trailer has reportedly been leaked online. We urge everyone to tag @worldoframayana and @malhotra_namit and use #RamayanaTrailerASAP to show your support and request the official trailer release. Do not share or amplify leaked footage."

Viewers also praised the clips saying, "Looks very good and promising. Atleast this leak is not shot on potato camera," and "Avatar level vfx, Dialogues are good, Some things need some more work. I believe they will fix. Airavat loooks so peak." "It’s disappointing that a film as big as #Ramayana couldn’t protect its trailer from leaking before the official release. The makers should have had stronger security measures in place. Months of hard work deserve better than an online leak," wrote one.

In light of the above we will be launching our trailer now globally at a later date," he wrote on Instagram. "In over 100 years of indian cinema this will become a moment of great pride where Ramayana will be shown to the entire world like any major global Hollywood film. This is special as it opens the door for people of the world to discover the richness of our culture and our stories with renewed pride and enthusiasm," the statement further added.
