Ramayana Part 1 X Review: What Works For Ranbir Kapoor-Yash Starrer?
A significant section of early viewers praised the sheer ambition and visual scale brought to life by director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra.
One viewer called the film a historic triumph, writing, "I just watched Ramayana and trust me it's a film of the century."
#Ramayana A Watchable Epic That Prioritizes Spectacle and Action Over Drama and Emotion! The film opens superbly with Ravana’s introduction, and the first half offers a decent experience overall despite a few dips here and there. But instead of giving enough weight and properly introducing the rest of characters, the narration moves from one event to another, making the drama feel flat and even serial like at times. The second half is where it starts to falter, with very prolonged action sequences becoming tiring before the climax briefly picks up momentum again. Even where Part 1 chooses to end feels somewhat unsatisfying, especially knowing that most of the major high points are being saved for a sequel that is still two years away. Yash is easily the biggest highlight and delivers a terrific performance as Ravana. Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi are sincere as Ram and Sita, but the divine and emotional connect never comes through consistently. Technically, the film is impressive, but Ramayana needs more than scale. AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer’s score is the biggest disappointment and often feels more like a generic superhero score than something that captures the story’s spiritual essence. Better than a few recent adaptations and definitely watchable with expectations in check, but the ambition never fully translates into lasting impact. A mixed bag that leaves you thinking about how much more it could’ve been. Rating: 2.5/5

Yash’s turn as Ravana emerged as an undisputed highlight. Audiences noted his magnetic screen presence, with several social media reactions calling him an outright scene-stealer.
Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor’s measured dialogue delivery as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi’s graceful depiction of Goddess Sita earned appreciation from family audiences.

Summing up the balanced sentiment, another user shared a 3-star rating, "Stunning visuals, impressive CGI, beautiful locations, emotional moments and Yash shines as Ravana. Ranbir and Sai Pallavi lack chemistry, and the film sometimes feels more like a fantasy spectacle than an emotional epic. Rating 3/5"
