CGI Spears? UK Promo vs Trailer

There were two new shots in the UK promo (replacing the snow giant scenes from the Rama glimpse).

The same shots in the official trailer have new visual details. We can see spears going through the subjects' bodies.

This kinda confirms they are computer generated and look seamless. This also makes me wonder what else can be added/modified and we wouldn't even notice at first. I expect most shots of the Rama glimpse to go through modification as well as the army inside Lanka to be enhanced.

They're flexing their works TBH..

Mujhe lagta hai.. ye log na jo extra camera se shoot kie hai.. like multiple angle se shoot karte hai.. kharab kharab shots ko vfx karke trailer mai chep dia.. poora hype khatam na hone keliye real scene bhi dale hai jo movie mai hoga.. jaise ki Jatayu,Krodha(Ravana ka pet) , airavat, and Pushpak Vimaan

Aur sony walo ko original shot hai woh dikhaya hai... Kyuki woh distribution karenge ... Picture pe bharosha hona chahiye na.. wide angle shot dekhke thodi paisa lagadenge..

And kuch creators bol rhe the ki sab cheez jo abhi dikha jaa rha hai woh movie mai nhi hoga.. 😏😏

Yes they're flexing their tech , works , vfx .. abhi toh action sequences dekhe nhi ho.. woh final trailer mai dikhega.. Teaser ka pehla sequences ka CGI sabko surprise karega.. cuz jab dikhaya tha tab work in progress tha.. film mai acha lagega..

When Namit said we are doing the work at cheaper price and best of the best.. he's not lying.. 1000crore mai tumko itna sara actor, director (including stunt director, DoP , Vfx supervisor, music composer, dance Director woh bhi best in class dena hai)

1000crore is the actual budget... Ofcourse part 2 will get more budget due to action sequences..

But yeah.. Ismai bhi bahat sara action sequences hone wale hai..

Jaise : Devasur sangram, Ravana vs Kuber , Baal kand sequences, Jatayu vs Ravan , Pre Sitha Haran sequences.. like 14k demons.. ye sab grand scale pe dikhana isn't an easy thing... RRR mai NTR introduction wali vfx acha tha.. but interval mai thoda cartoon jaisa feel hua.. not everyone noticed cuz scene intence tha.. Ramayana mai bhi thoda off sequences honge but no one will notice.. for the same ..

Whys the movie releasing on Diwali in India atleast?

I don't understand why they are going for a Diwali release. Diwali is a very busy festival throughout the day.

You do the puja, lit firecrackers during the 5-8pm window and then distribute sweets to neighbours and family and then eat the food made at home in night and sleep.

The morning is usually spent cleaning the home and afternoon to decorate and make rangoli.

So how can an average indian household expect to accommodate 4-5hours (adding the travel, intermissions and other factors) for a ramayana movie(even if it happens to be a definitive take on ramayana in 2020s india)?

My thoughts on the Ramayana trailer after seeing it in Real3d

Just saw the Ramayana trailer on the big screen(it was attached to BND), and honestly, it looked absolutely beautiful. The CGI and VFX are genuinely mindblowing. The only part that looked bad to me was Lord Ram shooting the rakshas and Kumbhakaran, but apart from that, everything else looked incredible. I honestly have no idea why anyone says otherwise.

Comparing the BND with Ramayana trailer, the trailer has much better CGI than BND. In BND, a lot of the VFX looked unfinished, lacked depth in several scenes, and honestly felt more like video game. To me Ramayana’s CGI stands out as leagues ahead.

Edit: What made BND a good and wholesome movie(despite the bad CGI) was the solid script, fun swinging sequences (giving major Amazing Spiderman vibes), and Sadie Sink.

I like that they have listed the names on the posters according to the story characters instead of starpower.

They could have put Yash's name right next to Ranbir because he is a big star, and could have put Ravi Dubey last. But Ravi's name is second in the billing because he is playing none other than Lakshmana.

You can love Ramayana and still criticize its VFX why is that so controversial?- PEOPLE PLEASE READ IT

I genuinely want to understand why people in this community are so negative toward genuine criticism of the Ramayana trailer. Why become so aggressive toward someone who is sincerely pointing out issues with the trailer's lack of depth, only to attack and mock them as “another internet VFX expert”?

When you watch movies as a form of enjoyment, passion, hobby, and joy, you naturally develop an understanding of what looks good and what doesn't. And honestly, some parts of the Ramayana trailer look really off not everything, but certain shots and VFX absolutely deserve criticism.

Especially when you compare it with Dune, which reportedly involves the same VFX company, with the work being done around the same period and both projects releasing in the same year. Just look at the difference in the visual execution between the two trailers. And before someone calls me a troll, I'm specifically talking about people who are genuinely criticizing the film, not those who are simply mocking or hating on it.

A major reason people have such high expectations is because our own director has given numerous interviews discussing the project, and in one of the most-watched interviews, the VFX and CGI were compared to something like Avatar, which represents one of the highest standards in modern filmmaking. When you make comparisons to masterpieces, obviously people are going to expect that level of quality. And when the same VFX company has worked on iconic films that have collectively earned numerous Oscars, expectations naturally become even higher. Forget the budget for a momentnit really isn't that complicated.

On another note, why do some of you feel the need to diminish the Doomsday trailer just to make Ramayana look better? You don't have to put down one movie to praise another. They're completely different films, with different genres, styles, and creative approaches. Comparing them this way doesn't really make sense.

People like me became Marvel fans because of two decades of storytelling, characters, and emotional investment. Marvel became a part of our lives as we grew up with it and watched pop culture evolve around it. People didn't become fans simply because of big action sequences or impressive CGI. It's the emotion and storytelling that make people care enough to go to the theatre.

And finally, I don't think it's even fair to judge Marvel's CGI and VFX solely from a trailer because Marvel is notorious for continuing post-production and VFX work until very late in the process. Infinity War is a perfect example: the trailer contained footage that was significantly different from the final film, including shots that never even appeared in the theatrical version. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is another example where people who have followed the project can see how much footage can change between trailers and the final movie.

I'm attaching a clip of the Iron Man test footage showing how it looked before and how much it evolved by the time the movie was released. Literally anyone with eyes can see the difference.

So I genuinely hope DNEG does something similar with Ramayana. Maybe the final film will look substantially better than what we've seen so far.

Fingers crossed. 🤞
