Nitesh Tiwari’s two-part mythological epic “Ramayana,” starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash, continues its theatrical run as outlets report a decent opening followed by a Friday drop and expectations of a weekend rebound. NDTV describes Day 3 momentum as showing no signs of slowing. Free Press Journal cites early Indian box office totals and looks to Saturday as the key day for a potential jump.
Beyond numbers, coverage highlights celebrity and filmmaker reactions that emphasise the film’s spectacle, VFX, production values and performances. Sunny Deol urges audiences to watch, praising the film’s effects and performances and comparing it to (and even above) Hollywood offerings. Veteran director Shankar calls it a “spectacle” with “never seen” visuals in Indian cinema and singles out Yash as a “lovable villain.”
At the same time, some viewers question edits between an overseas/international cut and the Indian version. Free Press Journal reports that an additional scene shared from the international cut went viral and drew complaints online, while another social media clip focuses on a family audience moment—an elderly viewer’s reaction—going viral as well.
