One of the most ambitious projects in Indian cinema, Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, is generating considerable global attention, with reports pointing to a strong response to its visual presentation and performances. Yash as Ravana, Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Sai Pallavi as Sita are among the film’s biggest talking points. Box office projections have also begun circulating, with some observers estimating that the film could collect as much as ₹3,000 crore worldwide.
Yash’s Ravana emerges as a major talking point
Yash’s portrayal of Ravana is being highlighted as one of the film’s most striking elements. Reports suggest that his commanding screen presence, body language and powerful delivery bring out the character’s cruelty, authority and formidable personality.
The film also reportedly pays considerable attention to depicting the grandeur of Lanka and the background of its ruler. Yash’s performance and presence in key sequences are being viewed as major attractions of the ambitious project.
Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama
Sai Pallavi’s portrayal of Sita has also attracted attention. Reports and early reviews have praised her performance for capturing the character’s grace, serenity and divine presence. Some assessments describe her casting as a response to those who had earlier questioned her suitability for the role.
Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal of Lord Rama is being discussed for its dignity, calmness and restrained approach. His composed screen presence is being viewed as fitting the character’s nature. The performances of the actors chosen to portray the epic’s central figures are expected to play a significant role in shaping the film’s reception.
Visual effects and music draw attention
The film’s visual effects and music had faced criticism during the teaser and trailer stages. However, reports of the latest responses suggest that the film’s visual treatment and graphics are creating an immersive cinematic experience.
The musical collaboration between Oscar-winning composers A. R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer is another major feature attracting interest. Their compositions and background score are expected to contribute significantly to the film’s overall presentation.
Can Ramayana cross the ₹3,000 crore mark?
Box office projections for Ramayana have already begun making headlines. Some trade observers estimate that the film could earn around ₹200 crore worldwide on its opening day. Early projections place its potential worldwide collection in the range of ₹2,000 crore to ₹3,000 crore.
These figures remain estimates, and the film’s actual box office performance will become clear only after its release and the publication of verified collection figures.
The project is being positioned as one of the most expensive productions in Indian cinema. Planned as a two-part film, the first instalment alone is expected by some observers to recover the overall production expenditure.
Nitesh Tiwari’s previous film, Dangal, released in 2016, earned approximately ₹2,000 crore worldwide and became one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. With the same director now taking on the epic Ramayana, the industry is watching closely to see whether the new project can challenge that record.
