I know we were all super excited ki finally ek week ke wait ke baad aaj trailer aane wala tha, and honestly when I saw it got postponed I felt kinda betrayed 😭 Like at least ek din pehle bata dete.

But emotions side me rakh ke thoda socha toh... maybe this isn't as bad as we're making it out to be.

Ramayana finally has a global distribution partner in Sony Pictures Entertainment, and I don't think people realise how big that actually is.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is obviously going to have insane reach and screens worldwide. If they attach the Ramayana trailer with it, that's some serious GLOBAL exposure.

And Sony distributing the film could also mean much better international marketing, which IMO has been one of the weakest parts of Ramayana's campaign so far. Sony has so many different channels/pages across countries and languages, so the trailer can potentially reach wayyy more people than it would've otherwise.

I was pissed about the delay initially, but now I'm kinda like... maybe jo hota hai acche ke liye hota hai 😭

Bas ab trailer banger hona chahiye 🙏

I've seen a lot of people asking, "Why are there WIP (work-in-progress) shots in the trailer?" So here's something worth considering.

Ramayana is being made on a scale that no Indian filmmaker has attempted before. It's an incredibly VFX-heavy film, and the work isn't happening in isolation. Studios like DNEG are working on multiple high-profile projects simultaneously, which means different shots are at different stages of completion throughout production.

Now, I'm sure the makers have plenty of 100% finished shots that they could have used in the trailer. But that's not how trailers are made.

A trailer isn't just a random collection of the best-looking shots. It has its own story, pacing, rhythm, emotional buildup, and flow. If you only include the finished shots while leaving out key moments simply because those scenes are still being polished, the trailer can end up feeling disjointed and lose its emotional impact.

Sometimes filmmakers have to include a few work-in-progress shots to preserve that narrative flow. It's not ideal, but it's often the better creative choice.

This isn't something unique to Ramayana, either. Even many Hollywood blockbusters have released trailers with unfinished CGI, and those shots are refined by the time the film reaches theatres. That's just how large-scale VFX productions work.

It's very easy for us to pause every frame and criticize it from behind a screen. But thousands of artists are working day and night to bring this world to life. VFX isn't something that gets perfected overnight.

So my request is simple:

Ignore the noise on X. Watch the trailer with a neutral mindset. Don't go in expecting "the greatest trailer of the decade," because unrealistic expectations almost always lead to disappointment. Judge it for what it is and have an open mind.

I also believe the Ramayana fanbase is mature enough to have respectful discussions, offer constructive criticism where needed, and appreciate the effort that's gone into making something this ambitious—rather than spreading negativity for the sake of it.

At the end of the day, Ramayana is a story that stands for righteousness, hope, and positivity. As fans, maybe that's the spirit we should try to reflect as well.

Seeing all the doomposting on X lately, I think people are making the same mistake they always do—assuming Twitter discourse reflects what the general audience thinks.

It doesn't.

The success of The Odyssey is another reminder that social media outrage and real-world audience behavior are often two completely different things. A loud minority can dominate your timeline and make it feel like everyone hates something, when in reality most people haven't even formed an opinion yet.

The same applies to Ramayana.

Every day there's a new hashtag, fan war, "it's over" post, or people rooting for the film to fail. But outside of X, the average moviegoer isn't spending their day arguing about VFX frame-by-frame or engaging in fandom wars. Most people will judge the film based on one thing:

Did the trailer excite them enough to buy a ticket?

If the marketing lands, the music hits, the emotions connect, and the iconic moments are presented well, all this online negativity will become background noise. History has shown that plenty of successful films were declared "dead on arrival" by social media.

In the end, Twitter/X doesn't sell tickets.

Trailers do. Word of mouth does. Families going to theatres do. Casual audiences do.

The internet can influence the conversation, but it doesn't decide the box office.

We've seen this play out before. We'll probably see it again with Ramayana. Until the trailer is out and the audience reacts, all this noise is just that—noise.
