Director Nitesh Tiwari has kept his promise by unveiling the much-anticipated first look of his magnum opus ‘Ramayana’ on the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti. Ranbir Kapoor, appearing as Lord Ram, has left fans in awe with his serene and powerful transformation. The 2-minute-38-second trailer has instantly set the internet ablaze, heightening expectations for what is arguably the biggest film in Indian cinema.

Learning from the VFX failures of Prabhas-starrer ‘Adipurush’, Tiwari has collaborated with an 8-time Oscar-winning international studio for the visual effects. Every frame of the trailer feels alive, further elevated by the soul-stirring background score composed by legends A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer. While Sai Pallavi shines as Sita, it is Yash’s menacing presence as Ravana that has surprised everyone. Even Alia Bhatt took to social media to cheer for husband Ranbir’s new journey. Netizens have dubbed the trailer “flawless,” predicting that Nitesh Tiwari’s vision will finally do justice to the legendary epic on the big screen.
