Reactions quickly began pouring in on social media platform X, with audiences praising the film’s gorgeous visuals, cinematography, production design and overall scale. However, most of the spotlight remained on Kapoor’s portrayal.
One user wrote, “The moves, the body language in this scene – absolute extreme,” adding that the actor was “born to play Lord Ram.” Another fan echoed the same sentiment, saying they were “sold” on the performance after one scene.
The technical proficiency of the teaser also garnered applause. Many highlighted the VFX and called it a leap forward for Indian cinema. “A visual presentation on the big screen,” one comment said, making special mention of Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman’s background score.
Color grading also gave rise to discussion. One viewer appreciated the change “from light to darkness”, particularly the imagery of Rama’s departure – marked by a glowing chariot against deep darkness – calling the symbolism “powerful and evocative”.
At the same time, some viewers started wanting more – especially Yash’s form as Ravana. While the teaser only offers a fleeting glimpse of the antagonist and Pushpak Vimana, it seems to have done a lot to create intrigue. One user said, “We didn’t see him, but we could feel him.”
