The highly anticipated epic film 'Ramayana', starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, is currently being positioned not just as a pan-India project, but as a true pan-world cinematic event. Sony Pictures released the brand new global trailer across various languages worldwide, marking the official kickoff of the film's international marketing campaign. The trailer has instantly captivated audiences globally, earning massive praise for producer Namit Malhotra and his technical crew.
The newly unveiled footage offers a glimpse into the majestic world of Treta Yuga, featuring grand sequences of the divine wars and Lord Rama's early life. The state-of-the-art VFX and cinematography have left viewers spellbound. From Hindi-speaking audiences to international cinema enthusiasts, everyone is in awe of the scale. Social media is currently flooded with passionate and positive reactions regarding the trailer's unmatched grandeur.
Comparison With Hollywood Blockbusters
The reactions from both domestic and international audiences have been overwhelmingly positive. One user praised the background score, comparing its impact to the legendary compositions of Hans Zimmer. Another user declared that the global film fraternity must now bow down to the sheer scale of Indian cinema. Many fans found themselves speechless, expressing extreme eagerness to experience the visual spectacle on the big screen. One enthusiastic fan noted that while people initially compared the project to 'The Odyssey', the final footage clearly stands shoulder-to-shoulder with James Cameron's 'Avatar'.
Apologies to Producer Namit Malhotra and Oscar Buzz
Interestingly, several social media users have publicly issued apologies to producer Namit Malhotra. Back in April, when the initial glimpse of the film was released, the project faced harsh criticism over underwhelming VFX, with trolls questioning the utilization of a massive 4000-crore budget. However, as subsequent marketing assets and the final trailer dropped, public skepticism transformed into absolute trust. Viewers now firmly believe that this film will represent Indian cinema on the global stage with unprecedented pride.
Following the trailer's release, intense discussions have begun regarding the film's potential Oscar prospects, especially in the visual effects category. Notably, the VFX for 'Ramayana' is handled by DNEG, the acclaimed studio owned by Namit Malhotra, which has previously won 8 Academy Awards for Hollywood blockbusters such as 'Dune' (Parts 1 & 2), 'Interstellar', 'Tenet', 'Inception', and 'Blade Runner'. Fans are now speculating that the studio might add another prestigious Oscar to its tally. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, 'Ramayana' is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on November 5.
