A bit skeptical, to be honest. Playing Lord Ram is a huge responsibility. Ranbir's last role was so intense in Animal, hope he can bring the right purity and divinity to this character. The casting of Sunny Deol as Hanuman is inspired though!

Launching it first in LA feels a bit odd. Our Ramayana, our culture, should have had the first reveal here in India. But I understand the global market strategy. Just hope the soul of our epic isn't lost in the big-budget spectacle.

The cast looks phenomenal! Sai Pallavi as Sita is perfect casting. She has that grace. And Yash as Ravana? Wow, that will be a powerful presence. This could be a cinematic landmark for Indian mythology.

Two parts, Diwali releases, IMAX... they are going all out. Hope the story and emotions are given as much importance as the VFX. Ramayana is about dharma and heart, not just battles.

As someone living abroad, it's great to see Indian epics getting this scale of production. Looking forward to introducing this version of the Ramayana to my kids here. Hope it stays true to its cultural roots.
