Ranbir Kapoor and producer Namit Malhotra responded to criticism of the visual effects (VFX) in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, emphasizing years of work and urging audiences to view the film on the big screen for full impact. Kapoor noted the rise of online 'CG critics' unfamiliar with VFX processes. Meanwhile, actor Gajendra Chauhan, known for Mahabharat, praised Kapoor's portrayal of Lord Ram but expressed reservations about the trailer's emotional depth and modern styling, particularly of Kaikeyi's character, and the challenges of casting well-known stars in mythological roles.
