Ramayana Part 1 First Review: When was the last time we saw unprecedented buzz for a Bollywood flick? While Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan’s movies trend days before release, Ramayana has been making waves ever since the trailer was unveiled. I was one of the lucky journalists to witness the first look of Ramayana Part 1 at Bharat Mandapam, Delhi in August 2026.
Ranbir Vs Yash- Who Stole Show? Ramayana Part 1 FIRST Review Goes Viral
While the world waits for Ramayana to hit the silver screens this Friday, veteran journalist Taran Adarsh has created excitement among the cinephiles with his non-spoiler review on social media.
Ranbir Kapoor or Yash- who stole all the limelight in Ramayana Part 1? This is the question on everyone’s mind. Adarsh shared a detailed acting review of the main leads, including Sai Pallavi, praising them for their performance.
“Ranbir Kapoor delivers a remarkable performance, portraying the character with grace, dignity, and quiet strength… His composed demeanour, expressive eyes, and effortless screen presence lend the character an aura of divinity (sic),” Adarsh tweeted.
Praising Sai Pallavi for his performance as Sita, Adarsh said that she brought dignity and strength to her role. “Her naturalistic performance lends tenderness and warmth to the emotional moments,” his tweet read.
All eyes are on Yash’s performance as Ravana. Did he manage to leave a mark in the first review? Adarsh was all praise for the Toxic actor, mentioning that he is in ‘superb form’ in the mythological drama film.
“His imposing screen presence and sheer intensity make him a formidable force, lending the antagonist the larger-than-life stature the character demands,” Taran wrote on the micro-blogging site.

Ramayana Non-Spoiler Review & Main Highlights
The tweet has been grabbing all the attention as it confirmed the main highlights of Ramayana without dropping spoilers.
Adarsh said that the Nitish Tiwari directorial boasts of standout sequences that blended grandeur with drama and devotion. Let’s talk about a few of them.
I am personally excited to witness the sequence where Ravana meets Lord Brahma and later stakes his claim on Lanka. I won’t be surprised if this is one of the early sequences in the movie
Taran Adarsh confirmed that Sita’s Swayamvar and an emotional pre-interval portion featuring King Dashrath, Kaikeyi, and Lord Rama will be an important highlight of the film.
Guess what? If you have closely followed movies and TV serials based on the Ramayana, you would have loved the fight between Ravana and Jatayu while he kidnapped Sita on Pushpaka Vimana. The same sequence will feature in the first part.
Ramayana Part 1 will arrive in the cinema halls on November 5. The film also stars Sunny Deol, Vivek Oberoi, Rakul Preet Singh, Kajal Agarwal, Ravi Dubey, Arun Govil in pivotal roles.
