Sempat terintimidasi durasi panjangnya, ternyata Ramayana: Rise of a Legend ini, wow... definisi sesungguhnya "ABSOLUTE CINEMA" ya. 3 jam lebih sama sekali nggak berasa!

Ini tontonan epik yg tak semata pamer visual super megah yg membuktikan sudah sejauh mana perfilman India. Tapi elemen aksinya pun seru mendebarkan, world buildingnya detil yg memberi gambaran sebesar apa pertaruhannya & narasi yg mengulik intrik kerajaan, ego penguasa hingga kepahlawanan pun mampu bikin gregetan, emosional sekaligus mudah diikuti buat mereka yg nggak familiar dengan cerita Ramayana.

Banyak momen yg membuatku merinding apalagi saat diiringi skoring akbar gubahan Hans Zimmer serta A. R. Rahman, tak sedikit pula yg membuat mataku berkaca-kaca entah karena situasi pilu atau semata kagum.

Watched #Ramayana for the 2nd time and incidentally I am an atheist and so this analysis is from a film watcher and not as a ram bhakt
While other reviews grudgingly note its scale and then hedge with “but the soul is missing” or “music could be better ,” etc , what they are missing is that the soul is in the scale and the emotion is in the humongous ambition of all the wonderfully talented people behind the making of this film

@NiteshTiwari22 and @NamitMalhotra have achieved what no one in Indian cinema never even dreamt of.. They have taken the devotional Juice from a well known epic and placed it on a canvas that made me as a viewer feel , the greatest Hollywood films as stage plays.

The opening cosmic battle, Ravana’s ten heads materialising not as a gimmick but as a living expression of knowledge and internal conflicts, the forests that feel more creature like themselves than the creatures they host , and standing high above all the breath stopping climactic Jatayu sequence … these are not mere Vfx effects. They are actually galactic events of the future brightness of Indian cinematic cosmos

This is Namit Malhotra’s slap on the faces and a kick in the crotches of Bollywoodians to wake them up from their lazy slumberness to show them what all is possible it there’s a will
@TheNameisYash ‘s Ravana is not a performance of the year, but it is of many decades .. I say that because I simply can’t remember anything I ever saw with his kind of a electrifying effect ever since I started watching cinema
He does not play a villain. He plays a man who has earned his power through penance, intelligence, and a refusal to bow .. The backstory the trauma, the devotion to Shiva, the ambition that becomes a prison , brilliantly written by #SridharRaghavan has been enacted with a combination of both a crystal clear clarity along with a monstrous force of reaching far beyond an objective destination so colourfully displayed with magnetic precision when he intrinsically ponders with his ten heads before taking the decision of kidnapping Sita ..

Every review that calls him the show stealer is correct, but what they missed is the larger picture that his portrayal made Ravana look like the gravitational centre of Rama
In short there’s no Rama without Ravana

Ranbir Kapoor’s Ram is the necessary counterweight against the worldly evils which anyway was the whole point of his godly status
Critics who wanted constant emoting from Ranbir saying he’s got same expression throughout are flmissing the point that Ram is defined by what he withholds and not by what he expresses
His quiet acceptance of the exile, his controlled violence in the forest sequences, his stillness that so wonderfully contained an absolute certainty is the hardest thing to play for an actor because when he finally acts , it’s not his arrows alone which find their mark , but more than that its his principles which pierce
What I loved about @HansZimmer and @arrahman is that they did not compete with the imagery but they rather flowed with it. The score does not try to reinvent devotion. It just amplifies the existing mass of the specific emotion and more importantly pin points the choices of its characters .. Songs that feel “functional” to some critics are doing the correct job because they do not interrupt the momentum of a three hour epic that is slowly building towards a confrontation
The Tandav energy and the aerial combat cues strike hard with a never before seen or experienced force.
In a film this large, restraint in the music is not a lay back , but It is a volatile high energy concoction of discipline and strategy
In my not so humble opinion what the negative reviews state as problems are actually the film’s real strengths.
The so called length is very necessary because one cannot establish Ravana’s scale and then compress Ram’s exile into just a highlight reel without losing the predicament of an impending inevitability .
I love Tiwari because he refuses to cheapen the moral stakes and turn the story into a masala action drama and the result of that conviction of his is a film that can be watched by families , youngsters , Gen Z etc etc and still hit the front benchers of the small and tiny towns .

This is the first ever Indian film that can stand above each and every large scale international production with its head held high and with an immense pride .
That’s because it does not borrow the language of the Lord of the Rings or Avatar . Instead it takes inspirations to dig into its own rich Indian backyard with the greatest ever stories which have been waiting to be excavated
Reviews might have given 2,3,5 whatever starts but I feel It’s an insult to india and it’s cinema to review this film
The negative reviewers are looking at a mountain and complaining that the path is steep and uneven but that’s because they are too small in comparison to the garangutan architects who built this mountainous Taj Mahal of cinema

Ramayana: Part 1 is the opening statement of a new standard for Indian cinema and whatever film will be made after November 5 th will now be measured against it , and the only thing which will destroy Ramayana part 1 will be Ramayana part 2 🙏🙏🙏

Watched #Ramayana in Australia yesterday.
An elderly white couple sat right in front of us.
After the film we asked them what they thought.
Their reaction stayed with me.

APOLOGIES SHOULD BE LOUDER THAN THE TROLLS! THE ONE AND ONLY RANBIR GOAT KAPOOR! 🔥😭

Before #Sanju? He cannot play #SanjayDutt, silenced everyone with the performance.

Before #Animal? He cannot play a macho performer, silenced everyone with the performance.

Before #Ramayana? He is not the best pick to play Lord Rama, silenced every single one with the performance yet again.

[Rishi Bagree @rishibagree]

Just saw #Ramayana movie.
Better than Adipurush by a clear margin.
More respect for the material, stronger craft, and no cheap slang. It aims for Hollywood-scale spectacle while trying to stay rooted in dharma. Results are mixed but respectable. Makers have chance to do much better in the next part. I have seen them learning from the audience feedback

RAMAYANA IS TURNING A DEVOTIONAL WAVE. Don't be SURPRISED, Yes don't be SURPRISED SEEING ALL THE RECORDS GETTING DEMOLISHED NOW🔥🔥🔥

NITESH TIWARI - The Biggest Director of India as TOP TWO BIGGEST FILMS belongs to him now 🙏🏻 #Ramayana

[Ricky Kej @rickykej]

To all those in doubt, Namit Malhotra's Ramayana made history on its first Monday (Day 5), raking in an estimated Rs 107.50 crore in India marking the biggest single-day and first-Monday collection ever recorded by an Indian film. People are realising what I did, it is a fantastic film. @malhotra_namit

[Manoz Kumar @ManozTalks]

100cr net (all India, all languages) is coming again on TUESDAY after MONDAY - Yes, Such is the atmosphere everywhere across India for #RAMAYANA🔥

The DEMAND seems to be Countering the SUPPLY now .. if this momentum continue TOMMOROW then expect ~ 2nd WEEKEND to be Bigger than 1st WEEKEND. #Ramayana

Jai-Shree RAM 🙏

A Global-Scale Visual Spectacle!

Just watched #Ramayana in theatres with my family and kids, and we absolutely loved it! It’s no mean feat to pull off a story with the faith and emotions of over a billion people attached to it—you truly can’t satisfy everyone—but the makers have done a phenomenal job.

I’ve always been a fan of #NiteshTiwari's work, and his direction, along with the producers' (#NamitMalhotra Malhotra) vision, has successfully elevated this timeless epic to a global standard.
The casting is spot on:

#RanbirKapoor Kapoor did complete justice to the role of Lord Rama, capturing the immense grace and restraint required for such a divine character.
#Yash was absolutely brilliant as Ravana, commanding the screen every time he appeared.
#SaiPallavi, #RaviDubey, and #RakulPreet all delivered stellar performances.

While the music could have been a bit better and a few scenes lacked that deep emotional punch, the overall experience is incredible.

The absolute highlight? Leaving the theatre completely hyped for Part 2 thanks to that massive post-credit scene featuring #SunnyDeol’s powerful voice as Lord Hanuman!

If you haven’t seen it yet, go watch it on the big screen with your family. You won’t be disappointed!

[DAYA NAYAK @DayaBNayak]

watched Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana last night and I’m still dazzled! What a breathtaking experience..The scale, the visuals, the sheer grandeur and the attention to detail are extraordinary. But beyond the spectacle, there was something exceptional about this vision and version of the Ramayana! Standing ovation for director @niteshtiwari22!

A story we have grown up hearing, yet one that never loses its magic. This feels truly special. Huge congratulations to the entire team for daring to dream this big and bringing this vision to life. Every actor was flawless and brought everything to their roles! Ram, Sita, Lakshman, Ravana, Jatayu, .. I can go on and on!
Can’t wait for Part 2! 🙏✨

Looking at the rampage of #Ramayana, it's clear that it's gonna hit the 1000cr mark this week itself. First of all, congrats to the whole team and to #RanbirKapoor and @TheNameIsYash fans, on behalf of #Prabhas fans, for the EPIC blockbuster.

Coming to the industries... Looks like 2026 clearly belongs to Bollywood. First #Dhurandhar2, and also Drishyam 3, Border 2 and especially Hanuman Ansh, and now Ramayana Part-1. It's clearly evident that they are leading at the box office by a margin.

The Tamil industry had #Jailer2, and it would have come closer to the 1000cr mark if not for the dented Hindi release. And then there is #Suriya, who literally scored back-to-back blockbusters in a single year.

Even the Malayalam industry got huge blockbusters with BKU, Drishyam 3 and Vaazha 2.

The Telugu film industry barely got any big hits this year, with only 2-3 decent hits other than the surprise blockbuster #Irumudi.

Hopefully next year belongs to Tollywood, since multiple 1000cr-potential biggies are lined up for 2027.

RAMAYANA PREMIER IN SWEDEN!🦅Extremely happy to share these visuals from the Swedish premiere of Ramayana: The Rise of Legend in Stockholm.
I began my speech with a sentence in Swedish: “Jag är mycket glad att vara här i Stockholm i kväll.” — “I am very happy to be here in Stockholm this evening.” And I truly was. After 41 years and 556 films in India, it was also special to share that I have become a small part of Swedish cinema for the first time with Out of Fashion.😍
A warm thank you to the dynamic and wonderfully friendly Ambassador of India to Sweden, Anurag Bhushan ji, who introduced me and my speech. His warmth and gracious presence made the evening even more special.😍🕉
As the narrator and Jatayu, I feel deeply proud to be part of this extraordinary cinematic journey. The Ramayana is not only a story from India; its message of love, sacrifice, family, duty and the triumph of good over evil speaks to people across borders, languages and generations. It was moving to see this timeless Indian epic being celebrated in Sweden.🇸🇪
When the film ended, people came up to me with tears in their eyes, shaking my hand and thanking me for telling the story of the Ramayana and for playing Jatayu. I was completely overwhelmed. It filled me with immense pride to see a film like this come out of India and connect with audiences here.❤️
Congratulations to dear @niteshtiwari22 , @malhotra_namit , Sony Pictures, SF Studios, BollywoodBio Sweden and everyone who brought this film to Swedish cinemas and made this special evening possible.🦅😍❤️
Proud to be Indian. Jai Shri Ram! 🙏🕉😍 @WorldOfRamayana @SonyPictures #Ramayana #Primiere #Sweden
