Ramayana: Another Exaggerated PR Stunt Crossing Limits?

If there is one film currently creating strong buzz in the media, it is Ramayana. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, the film recently unveiled its teaser. The short video quickly grabbed attention across platforms.

However, the response on social media has been mixed. While Ranbir Kapoor received praise for his appearance as Rama, several VFX shots were criticised. Some viewers even mocked certain visuals from the teaser.

In fact, many users compared the teaser to Adipurush. The earlier film faced heavy trolling for its storytelling and visual quality. This comparison has further intensified discussions around Ramayana.

People are also questioning the reported budget of Rs. 4000 crore. The makers have been highlighting this figure since the beginning. The mixed response has raised doubts about whether the scale matches expectations.

Amid this, reports suggest that Namit Malhotra rejected a Rs. 700 crore OTT offer. It is said that his team believes the film deserves a higher valuation. They consider Ramayana a legacy project for future generations.

This reportedly means that the makers are aiming for a Rs. 1000 crore OTT deal. The remaining revenue is expected to come from theatrical collections and other rights. Such expectations have sparked further debate online.

Namit Malhotra has also faced criticism for this approach. Some people feel that the claims around the film are being exaggerated. The mixed reaction to the teaser has only added to these doubts.

Despite the criticism, Ramayana continues to remain in the spotlight. The film has generated strong curiosity among audiences. It now remains to be seen how it performs after its planned Diwali release.
