Even before the official release, select industry insiders who attended a special screening in Los Angeles have shared glowing reactions. Many described the teaser as a “goosebumps-filled” experience, praising its scale, visuals, and background score.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote, “#JaiShriRam… Just watched the new glimpse – #Rama – from the most-awaited epic #Ramayana, and I am mesmerised.”

‘Not just a film, but an experience’

Highlighting the performances and technical work, he said, “#RanbirKapoor, who portrays Lord Rama, looks exceptional – exuding grace, divinity and strength... The stunning visuals, the groundbreaking VFX, and an electrifying background score [#HansZimmer and #ARRahman] – this glimpse from #Ramayana is simply spectacular.”

He further noted, “Like I said earlier, #Ramayana is not just a film for today, but for generations to come...”

Ramayana Makers keep promotions minimal

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and backed by Namit Malhotra, the film has so far avoided overexposure. Instead, the team has released limited but impactful content, including the announcement video and Ramayana: The Introduction, which offered a brief look at the film’s scale and characters.

The introduction clip carried the caption, "An outcome through a collaboration of some of the world’s best to ensure that Ramayana is presented with the greatest amount of Reverence and Respect. Welcome to the Beginning."

The promotional campaign has already gone international. After an early screening in Los Angeles, the team hosted another exclusive showcase in New York, hinting at a global strategy for the film’s rollout.

On Ram Navami, Namit Malhotra confirmed the teaser date, writing, "Shubh Rama Navami. This is a story that belongs to all of us, and every step we take has been guided by a deep sense of responsibility, devotion, and care to bring our very own Ramayana to life in its truest spirit and scale with utmost sincerity. We look forward to sharing the next glimpse, 'Rama' on 2nd April, on the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, as we begin to showcase all these years of our effort through a grand world reveal with fans, celebrating this moment across the world. Thank you for your love, faith, and patience."
