Ramayana Trailer Review
The 4-minute and 9-second trailer delivers a spectacular glimpse into the world of Ramayana, showcasing breathtaking visuals and an epic cinematic scale. From the majestic kingdom of Ayodhya to the magnificent golden city of Lanka, every frame reflects the film’s grand ambition.
The trailer wastes no time introducing Yash as the mighty Raavan. Opening with the line, “Tumhara naya raja” (“Your new king”), the KGF star makes an imposing entrance. Clad in elaborate golden armor with an intense screen presence, Yash portrays Raavan with a striking blend of authority, charisma, and menace.
Ranbir Kapoor then takes center stage as Lord Rama, effortlessly portraying the character’s calmness, courage, and unwavering sense of righteousness. The trailer traces his transformation from a devoted prince sharing heartfelt moments with King Dashrath (played by Arun Govil) to a determined warrior ready to uphold his father’s promise.
Making her debut as Sita, Sai Pallavi brings warmth and elegance to the role. The wedding sequences between Rama and Sita are visually stunning, while a brief scene hinting at Sita’s skill with a weapon has already become one of the trailer’s biggest talking points.
The preview also offers glimpses of the supporting cast, including Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, and Rakul Preet Singh as Shurpanakha. Interestingly, Sunny Deol’s portrayal of Lord Hanuman remains under wraps, seemingly reserved for the film’s second installment.
One of the trailer’s biggest highlights is its powerful musical score. For the first time, Academy Award winners A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer have collaborated, delivering an emotionally stirring soundtrack that perfectly complements the epic visuals.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, Ramayana: Part 1 is scheduled to hit theatres during Diwali 2026, setting the stage for one of Indian cinema’s most ambitious mythological spectacles.
