I felt the color grading for Ramayana was too saturated making it look more animated rather than realistic/cinematic. Here is my attempt at re-coloring few stills from the trailer.
What do you think?

Ranbir Kapoor

• He is an okay actor, works in certain roles and if the director is good in terms of Barfi or Rockstar. In my opinion his expressions are still not that great in either of these movies.
• His expressions especially eyes don't express much, which is why he is good at roles like Animal or Rockstar where he needs to show extreme emotions like anger or despair(usually aggressive expression like anger). 
• There is no subtlety in his expression. His emotions don't reach his eyes much for subtler or softer emotions like sadness, care, love, empathy in my opinion.

 

Ranveer Singh

• He is far more versatile actor in the roles he chooses. 
• His capacity to express authentically is really good that sometimes you stop seeing Ranveer Singh the actor. 
• He does have misses but his range of expressions especially his eyes is far more wider. 
• He can express in between well especially the emotions which require empathy.

UPDATE:
I wasn't expecting this level of attention to this post and how people take this personally. I was trying to be as objective as possible.

I just had a spur of the moment thought about this when I noticed Ramayana and the discussion around it. Honestly I didnt even watch Dhurandhar, I probably won't as I am not interested.
I loved Ranveer in Rocky aur Rani, Gully Boy and Jayeshbhai Jordhar! Then I saw a post about how it would be to see Ranbir in Dhurandhar role and I wanted to say something. Even if I didn't the full movie the fact that small glimpes and clips of Ranveer in Dhurandhar are enough to know.

I am not saying Ranveer is the best actor we have, there are so many really good actors out there who aren't getting the opportunity because of the few that take over (including Ranveer) but at least I feel like Ranveer justifies his opportunity and Ranbir is just hyped. Also maybe this is just a frustration about the PR for Ramayana/Ranbir that is showing up everywhere on my feeds when it is the most disappointing casting for me. Forgot to mention earlier, the colorism at play here which is the most frustrating thing for me for people to prefer/pick Ranbir for specific roles or as a great actor.
