The film 'Ramayana,' starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash Starer, is positioned not just as a pan-Indian but also as a global project. A new promotional trailer was recently released by Sony Pictures in various languages worldwide. The international marketing campaign for this movie launched on October 15th, and the trailer immediately made a strong impression on the public. The work of producer Namit Malhotra is highly praised.

The trailer showcased impressive visual effects (VFX) and immersed viewers in the atmosphere of Treta Yuga. Scenes of Ravana's battle in Devaloka and Lord Rama's fight during Bala Kanda were shown, with the quality of the VFX receiving high praise from both Russian-speaking and English-speaking audiences. Viewers are leaving diverse reviews about the trailer.

The audience reaction, both nationally and internationally, has been unusual. One user noted the magnificent music at the end of the trailer, calling Hans Zimmer's composition outstanding. Another commentator highly praised Indian cinema, stating that everyone must now acknowledge its superiority. Many viewers feel that the trailer is so good it is hard to describe in words and eagerly await the film's release. Some compare 'Ramayana' to major Hollywood films, noting that its level is comparable to 'Avatar,' and predict huge box office success for the movie.

Many viewers have publicly apologized to producer Namit Malhotra. When initial information about 'Ramayana' was presented in April, he faced harsh criticism over alleged costs of 400 billion rupees and low VFX quality. However, as more materials and marketing elements appeared, public trust in the project increased. Now, after the release of the final trailer, confidence has turned into conviction. The public believes that the film will successfully present Indian cinema on the world stage.

After watching the trailer, many are confident that 'Ramayana' is a contender for an Oscar race, believing that the VFX could bring victory. It is worth noting that the film's visual effects were done by DNEG, founded by Namit Malhotra, which has previously won eight Oscars for films such as 'Dune' (both parts), 'Interstellar,' 'Tenet,' 'Inception,' 'Blade Runner,' and 'First Machine.' Another award is now anticipated.

The film 'Ramayana' is scheduled for a global release on November 5th. The director of the project is Nitish Tiwari.
