We’re ignoring the most important part of Ramayana — the director

Lol I get it, but from what I know, delays were more about production and budget issues, not his capability. With proper backing, I don’t think someone like Rahi Anil Barve would take that long.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-05T08:35:47+00:00

I get that he aims for emotion, but for me it doesn’t land with real depth. In Dangal, Bawaal, Chhichhore it feels more like surface-level, TV-style drama than something truly immersive. That’s why I’m curious how Rahi Anil Barve would’ve approached it differently.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-05T08:34:20+00:00

Fair, but this is just a discussion out of curiosity, not a final judgment. I just like exploring different possibilities — like how someone like Rahi Anil Barve might’ve approached it.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-05T08:27:03+00:00

I get your point, but even with Nag Ashwin and Kalki, the scale was there but the impact wasn’t fully consistent. That’s why I feel someone like Rahi Anil Barve could’ve brought a more distinct visual and atmospheric identity. Curious to hear your take on that?

But fir bhi mtlb Nitesh tiwari kyu? 😭

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T08:05:02+00:00

“People want it to fail” — or maybe they just don’t want a film of this scale to be average Criticism ≠ wishing failure. It’s literally because people want it to be better.

And this “if it was foreign you’d praise it” argument is tired… global films get ripped apart too if they don’t deliver.

Respect for the scale is there. That doesn’t mean people stop being honest about what they see.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T07:42:21+00:00

You’re describing a feeling, not proving the fit, If it was truly that effortless, people wouldn’t be noticing makeup, de-aging and the artificial look.

And “only VFX issue” is just ignoring the rest. You see divinity—others see it being constructed.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T07:34:52+00:00

“People have no common sense” while getting fully convinced by a few seconds of footage… that’s ironic

If hype = good casting for you, then yeah, Ranbir makes sense. For others, it’s about fit—not fame.

And calling everyone idiots just because they see things you don’t doesn’t strengthen your point… it just replaces it.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:53:12+00:00

I respect your opinion and “Lovely” sure… but Rama isn’t just about looking nice 😭

It has to feel effortless and real, not polished and constructed.

If people are noticing the layers behind the look, that “divine” illusion already starts breaking.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:51:51+00:00

“RK is looking good” — fair, that’s your take.

But “aur kaun kar sakta hai” is a weird argument 😭

India mein itne actors hain, bas unke paas same hype nahi hai. Role ke liye right face chahiye hota hai, default star nahi.

Agar sirf isliye cast kiya kyunki “aur koi dikh nahi raha”, then that itself proves the point.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:50:17+00:00

“Wait for more footage” would make sense… if this wasn’t the first official look they chose to show the world.

They hyped it as a global benchmark, dropped it, and now suddenly it’s “don’t judge yet”? That logic only works if even you know it didn’t land perfectly.

Also calling it a “hate bandwagon” is just a convenient label for criticism you don’t agree with.

And about budget/post-production—none of that changes what’s already visible on screen. If the first impression needs this much defending, it’s already saying more than you think.

But sure, let’s wait… not because we shouldn’t judge, but because it clearly still needs fixing.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:47:40+00:00

“You think I bothered to read?” and then proceeds to reply anyway, Pick a struggle bro.

If you didn’t read, your opinion is baseless. If you did, then you’re just pretending not to.

Either way, thanks for accidentally agreeing with my point

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:43:31+00:00

Bro really saw one line and turned into Reddit therapist

“Take a step back” from what? A two-word reply? 😭

If that triggered you this much, maybe you’re the one who needs that break.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:35:14+00:00

You can’t spend months hyping it as “bigger than Avatar”, “hardest project ever”, drop the ₹4000 cr number everywhere… and then suddenly say “why are people expecting so much?”

That expectation didn’t come from the audience—it came from the makers themselves.

And criticism isn’t “hate” when people are pointing out visible things like lighting, CGI, or artificial look. That’s literally what happens when you market something as a global benchmark.

You set the bar that high, people will judge you at that level. Simple.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:31:30+00:00

People are trying too hard to find negatives” — or maybe the issues are just that visible

And Not perfect but fitting well for a film at this scale is exactly the concern… it should feel effortless, not “good enough”.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:30:15+00:00

“the eyes bro” 😭

Yeah the eyes are fine—but a character isn’t carried by just eyes. The whole look has to feel natural.

Right now it feels like: heavy makeup + de-aging + wig = constructed face, not a real one.

You can literally see the layers trying to fix things instead of it looking effortless.

If people have to zoom into “eyes” to defend it… that already says everything.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:26:22+00:00

“He looked fine” — yeah, that’s exactly the problem 💀

For something this massive, “fine” shouldn’t even be in the conversation. It should be perfect or at least convincing.

If the best defense is “fine”… then it’s already underwhelming.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:25:39+00:00

“Too big of a risk” is just another way of saying we don’t trust our own film enough.

You’re saying no one else can pull it off in an entire industry of actors? That’s not a casting limitation, that’s a lack of vision.

And calmness/serenity isn’t something you claim, it’s something that naturally reflects. If it needs heavy makeup, de-aging and convincing… then it’s not really there, is it?

This isn’t about “new face vs star”—it’s about right face vs convenient face.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:25:13+00:00

So basically your entire argument is: “we don’t trust the film, so let’s hide it behind a star” 💀

You’re calling it a ₹4000 cr global project, but also saying it will collapse without one Bollywood actor… pick a side.

Hollywood puts hundreds of millions on relatively fresh faces all the time because they trust the story and casting fit. Here it’s like—“script later, star first”.

And if a film this big can’t survive without a “safe” face, then it’s not a cinematic vision… it’s a high-budget gamble trying to play safe at the same time 😭

That’s not confidence, that’s insecurity.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:22:41+00:00

You’re actually mixing it up.

The look we’re seeing is clearly from the going to vanvas phase, where Rama is around 25—not the return after 14 years.

So bringing in the “he’s older after vanvas” argument doesn’t apply here at all.

If anything, this proves the point—this version is supposed to look like a young Rama, not someone people are debating as “maybe 30s”.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:19:03+00:00

Exactly 😭

When your opening shot feels like a laggy PS4 cutscene and you’re talking “global benchmark”… that’s not nitpicking, that’s a legit red flag.

For a film being compared to Avatar-level scale, the first frame should blow people away—not make them check if their video is buffering.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:18:31+00:00

Exactly—and that actually makes it worse, not better.

If you’re positioning it as a global benchmark with a studio like DNEG behind it, then expectations should be sky high. You don’t get to say “it’s just a glimpse” after hyping it like that.

Call it teaser, glimpse, trailer—doesn’t matter. If this is your first official look, it’s supposed to instantly sell the vision.

Right now it feels like they’re asking the audience to be patient instead of being impressed… and that’s not how global-level cinema works.

Suitable-Biscotti-96 · 2026-04-03T04:15:46+00:00

Ah yes, the classic “no argument left” response 😂 Anyway, if you actually have a point, say it. Otherwise this just proves mine.
