Ramayana Trailer Drops: Yash Shines as Ravana, While Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi Steal the Show in Stunning 3D
In recent months, few films have stirred as much excitement as “Ramayana.” The promotional campaign kicked off a year and a half prior to its release, starting in July 2025. Since then, the makers have organized events worldwide, with more planned in the coming weeks. The highly anticipated trailer was finally unveiled online on July 30, and Bollywood Hungama had the opportunity to preview it ten days earlier at a multiplex in Mumbai. The experience was nothing short of spectacular, especially when viewed on the big screen in 3D.
Trailer Highlights and Character Introductions
The initial promotional material focused on Lord Rama, portrayed by Ranbir Kapoor. However, the new trailer introduces a host of characters, with Ravana, played by Yash, taking center stage. The trailer opens with Ravana, showcasing his fierce persona and thrilling action sequences that are sure to captivate audiences. Yash’s portrayal of Ravana stands out as unique, setting it apart from previous interpretations of the character.
Ranbir Kapoor’s depiction of Lord Rama, the Maryada Purushottam, also shines through in the trailer. His performance is described as graceful and divine, providing a striking contrast to Ravana’s arrogant demeanor. Alongside them, Sai Pallavi makes a memorable appearance as Sita, exuding poise and conviction. The trailer also features Lara Dutta, Rakul Preet Singh, Ravie Dubey, Arun Govil, and Vivek Oberoi, all of whom contribute to the film’s impressive ensemble. Notably, Sunny Deol’s portrayal of Lord Hanuman is absent from the trailer, but the overall presentation is still enough to elevate excitement for “Ramayana.”
Visuals and Production Scale
The scale of “Ramayana” is described as spectacular, with impressive 3D effects that enhance the viewing experience. A standout moment in the trailer features Airavata, the divine white elephant, which is particularly stunning. However, some critics note that while the grandeur is comparable to that of “Baahubali,” it may not surpass it. Given the reported budget of over Rs. 1,000 crores, expectations for the film’s scale and visual quality were high. Despite this minor shortcoming, it is unlikely to dampen the film’s hype.
The trailer is poised to attract significant viewership, especially as it will be showcased in theaters alongside “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.” This superhero film is anticipated to achieve the biggest opening ever for a Hollywood release in India, providing “Ramayana” with ample exposure in cinemas. The trailer effectively serves its purpose, and the film is expected to make a thunderous debut during the Festival of Lights.
