Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana Part 1 Receives Mixed Reviews on Story and VisualsPreviousNext

Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part 1, starring Ranbir Kapoor, presents a visually ambitious adaptation of the epic, emphasizing caution to avoid controversy. The film foregrounds supporting characters and explores generational conflicts but has drawn mixed reactions for its restrained storytelling and visual effects. Kapoor's portrayal of Rama has been noted for shedding his usual screen persona, though some critics find the character lacking emotional depth. The film's reception reflects diverse expectations around artistic freedom, cultural representation, and technical execution.
