The digital world came to a standstill today as Netflix and Nitesh Tiwari released the first teaser for their epic adaptation of the Ramayana. Starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, the teaser highlights the film’s staggering visual scale, featuring a glimpse of Ravana’s iconic Pushpaka Vimana and a deeply moving sequence of Rama performing rituals in Ayodhya.
The teaser has already garnered over 50 million views across platforms within six hours of its release. Filmmaker Karan Johar took to social media to praise Ranbir’s "ethereal" look, while fans have flooded the internet with frame-by-frame breakdowns of the CGI-heavy landscapes. Positioned as India's answer to The Lord of the Rings, the project is being produced on an unprecedented budget. The teaser confirms a multi-part release strategy, with Part 1 slated for a global theatrical-first release followed by an exclusive streaming window on Netflix. The "Ramayana Live Updates" continue to trend globally, proving that the appetite for Indian mythology remains at an all-time high.
