- Varma praised specific performances by Ranbir Kapoor and Yash.
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has offered a detailed review of Nitesh Tiwari's "Ramayana," describing it as a potent "devotional force" rather than a mere devotional film.
Varma emphasized that the film's hero is depicted as a man who willingly faces destruction, with character arcs focusing on challenging weakness and embracing power.

Varma also commended Yash's portrayal, stating he embodies a mind that has accepted its destructive intent, and Anupam Kher's Jatayu, calling his fight "not an act of mere loyalty."
The film's first part, featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, is set for a sequel in 2028.
