Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, reached cinemas on 5 November, Tuổi Trẻ reported, citing Awaz The Voice. The newspaper said some early viewers in Mumbai praised the adaptation’s visuals, effects, performances and music.
Rama on screen
Ranbir Kapoor plays Rama in the film, which draws on the Indian epic. Tuổi Trẻ cited The Guardian’s description of Rama’s effort to rescue his abducted wife as part of a story involving Ravana and royal intrigue. These are elements of the film’s narrative, not a report of a real-world event.
Some Mumbai viewers quoted in the newspaper praised Kapoor’s performance as well as the scale of the images and visual effects. One called the production a landmark for Indian cinema. Those comments represent early reactions from the people quoted, not the views of all audiences.
What reviews highlighted
In its summary of international coverage, Tuổi Trẻ said The Guardian compared the film’s adventure atmosphere and animal scenes with other screen works. The newspaper also cited The New York Times as finding the large-scale sequences particularly effective when the director moved beyond formulaic dialogue.
One scene mentioned in the report depicts a battle between Ravana and Jatayu, a vulture-like character, aboard a flower-shaped flying vessel. A. R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer contributed to the score.
Tuổi Trẻ said a second part was planned for November 2027. That remains a reported release plan. Reactions collected as the film opened do not establish its eventual box-office result or longer-term audience response.
