Not everyone is impressed
While the posters have generated plenty of excitement, they have also received some criticism.
A section of viewers feels that the new posters do not offer anything particularly surprising and expected a more visually spectacular reveal from a project of this scale.
Despite the mixed reactions, the posters have succeeded in keeping Ramayana firmly in the spotlight.
A ₹4,000 crore cinematic spectacle
