The debate around Ramayana has taken an interesting turn on social media.
Soon after Namit Malhotra hosted an exclusive trailer preview and set visit for a select group of creators and YouTubers, the film began facing a wave of criticism online.
Many social media users are now alleging that some self-proclaimed “samosa critics” have been intentionally spreading negativity because they were not part of the exclusive preview.
Adding fuel to the debate, users have also pointed out that a few of these critics had earlier praised Adipurush during its promotional phase, only to later change their stance after the film’s release.
This has sparked a larger conversation.
Was selectively inviting only a handful of creators a smart promotional strategy, or did it unintentionally alienate others with influence over online discourse?
At the same time, it’s worth remembering that early criticism does not necessarily reflect a film’s final quality.
People are entitled to their opinions, whether positive or negative, and audiences will ultimately decide after watching the film.
As the online debate intensifies, one thing is clear.
The discussion around Ramayana has now moved into the politics of film promotions, influencer access, and whether exclusive invitations can shape narratives on social media.
Since it’s a big budget film and includes many renowned names, controversies have been an inevitable part since the beginning.
While one portion of people criticized the star cast, a few others lashed out at the VFX as outdated.
Now, it is yet to be seen how Namit and the entire cast of Ramayana react to these rumors and speculations.
