Ramayana Teaser Offers First Look At Rama And Ravana
The Ramayana Teaser opens with Ranbir Kapoor’s entry into Ayodhya. He is welcomed with flowers, showing his royal presence. The video then moves through different parts of his journey. These include scenes from his exile with Sita and Lakshmana, along with a few moments where he appears in a warrior role.

Sharing the teaser, producer Namit Malhotra wrote, “Rama is the greatest of all time because he lived a life where the choices he made were always in the benefit of the greater good, duty over desire, and sacrifice over self. His legacy continues to enhance and empower humanity over time and bring the belief in the goodness of the human spirit to resolve all conflict and bring peace to the world.”

Nah bro visuals needed to be a lot better than this.”
One more user shared, “Its actually not that bad but neither good, but for those who had expections its actually bad bad , how is this 4000 crore budget ?”
Makers Share Vision Behind Ramayana
Director Nitesh Tiwari explained the film’s idea and said, “Ramayana’s greatness lies in its emotional richness. At its heart, it is not just about good and evil, but about choices, consequences, and the weight of doing what is right. Rama’s journey is deeply human, and that is what we have tried to stay true to.”
Ranbir Kapoor also spoke about his role. He said, “I don’t think I’m here to represent Rama. I’m here to learn from him. There is a simplicity and purity to him that is very rare, and trying to understand and imbibe that has been a deeply humbling experience.”
Namit Malhotra added, “The power of Rama’s story is not in what he conquers, but in what he lets go of. He represents a standard that is not easy, not convenient, but necessary. He chooses duty over desire, truth over comfort, and sacrifice over self. That is why his story has endured for thousands of years, and why it continues to matter today.”
Alia Bhatt also reacted and said, “It’s absolutely fabulous. I think Ranbir has just done such a beautiful job, and I just can’t wait for you guys to see it. It’s just out of this world.”
