Both are mythological epics, both are being made on a similar scale/budget, but the visual styles feel completely different. One leans more grounded, the other more stylized and larger-than-life.

What I don’t get is , why does it always turn into hate for one side?

Why can’t two filmmakers interpret mythology in their own way and both still work?

Curious to know:

- Which visual style do you prefer?

- Do you think one approach fits mythology better than the other?

I noticed something interesting in PJ’s recent videos and wanted to get your thoughts.

In his Ramayana teaser video, he clearly said people should be harsh and went into detailed nitpicking. But with the Odyssey trailer, he’s calling out people for nitpicking.

I’ve attached clips of both takes for context.

Not trying to hate, just feels like two different standards for similar scale projects.

Am I missing something here, or does this come off as inconsistent to you guys?

Suppose the makers of Ramayana are reading the comments of this post, looking for genuine feedback and suggestions.
What would your suggestions be?

Dhurandhar only had 4 cr footfalls 😂. No of tickets sold is a bigger flex than > box office in my opinion due to inflation

The dialogues are going to be tricky. If they keep them sanskrit nishta, many from the big cities of northern India won't be able to understand without subtitles. On the other hand, if they the perso arabic laden language that bollywood fans are familiar with, the film will face backlash

The next time someone suggest casting newcomers for 500 crore mythological epics because the epics are the draw and star factor amounts to nothing....

this movie did their entire PR push by mudslinging their AI generated pinterest inspired background visuals with another much ambitious movie...and the entire creative staff was lifted from TV shows , which is quite evident from the pathetic way action is presented since they do not know at all how to direct an action sequence...

people keep saying anything works on the basis of religion, this is conclusive proof that no..it does not...some intrigue and name factor is required for any movie to be relevant

Kinda glad someone is doing this...that too raw storytelling without bg music or visuals. Mohit really has come a long way from comic storytelling to Ramayana.

Looks like lots of content incoming

So it looks like Namit atleast is gonna give interviews to the creator's meet they have planned at Prime focus studios. Hopefully we get to know more things than Cinemacon through this.

Also i am curious how PJ is gonna face this guy with all the things he has been saying about him online😂😂

Even I'm not saying it's same better or worst than ramayan who am I to say this but according to indian film experts it's peace of art because it's nolan not nitesh film btw it's hase massive budget 2400-2600 cr plus marketing and ramayana budget is 4000cr with new technology,brahma ai + ai lyp syncing maybe part one budget is 1000-1500 cr

Hi, M23 here.

Not from India.

Around 4-5 years ago I was going through a really bad time. A friend told me to watch Tamasha. I did. And I literally cried at some points. Because I felt so relatable and his acting was so perfect. I don't know how Ranbir did that but it didn't feel like acting at all.

After that I went and watched everything he'd done.

Rockstar, Barfi, Tamasha, YJHD, ADHM, Sanju — these are 10-15 year old films. People are still making reels on them. Why?

Because they can relate to the characters. These characters have been staying with us for years. And we can't imagine anyone other than Ranbir Kapoor in those characters.

My friend goes on a solo trip and plays Roy's BGM when he's sitting alone.

Someone gets frustrated at his job and just posts Tamasha story without saying anything — and everyone gets it immediately.

Kisi ka break-up ho jaye to Jordan, One sided toh Ae Dil hai Mushkil. You'd notice these things frequently.

Then koyi comeback wala reel/ aggression type reels ke liye Animal, Sanju toh hai hee.

People still praise Raajneeti, Ajab Prem ki Gajab Kahani, Rocket Singh, Wake up Sid.

That doesn't happen with most actors. That happens when someone made you feel genuinely understood. And for a lot of us, Ranbir did that through fictional characters for years. Which is honestly crazy when you think about it. Most actors you can see the effort. With him you just see the person.

And we all know it's his strongest genre.

And the thing about Ramayana is — it's not going to be an action film at its core. Yes there'll be war and spectacle, but the heart of the story is pure emotion.

And emotion-based storytelling is exactly where Ranbir has spent his entire career.So when people ask why Ranbir for Ram, that's the answer. Because Lord Rams's journey is an emotional one first. And nobody in this generation has mastered that space more than him. At least that's what I genuinely believe.

Some people will argue just to argue. But honestly if you think about it, nobody in the industry would have suited better as Lord Rama than Ranbir Kapoor (totally my thought).

And I hope he goes all out with it and I hope it becomes a great movie.

Thanks
