Hrithik Roshan reacts to Ramayana VFX backlash, explains criticism and asks fans to judge the film after release.
Hrithik Roshan (PC- Social Media)
The VFX debate around Ramayana is getting loud, and Hrithik Roshan has now stepped in with a calm but honest take. He says yes, bad VFX can feel painful, but judging a film from a teaser is not really fair. His point is simple, understand the style first before calling it wrong.
Why People Are Talking About Ramayana
The upcoming Ramayana is already huge even before release. It stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Raavan.
People expected something massive, something very realistic maybe. But when teaser came, reactions split. Some liked the scale, others said it looked like a video game.
That’s where the VFX debate started, and honestly it got big very fast.
Hrithik Roshan Speaks Straight
Hrithik Roshan did not ignore the criticism. He accepted that sometimes VFX can look bad, even painful to watch, especially for someone from film industry.
But he added something important. Not every film tries to look real. Some films choose a storybook style, something more artistic, less realistic.
He explained it in a simple way. If a film promises realism and fails, that’s bad VFX. But if it never aimed for realism, then judging it like that is unfair.
Style vs Realism Confusion
This is where most confusion happening. Viewers expect one thing, makers deliver something else. Then criticism starts, sometimes too quickly.
According to him, people should ask a different question. Instead of asking “is it real”, they should ask “is it right for the story”.
That small shift changes everything. Because not every film needs to look real, some need to feel magical or divine.
Teaser Is Not The Full Picture
Another thing he pointed out, teasers can be misleading sometimes. They are just small glimpse, not the full experience.
Big films like Ramayana take years to finish. VFX keeps improving till last stage. So early reactions may not reflect final result.
Still people judge quickly, which is normal but not always accurate.
Why This Debate Matters So Much
This is not just about one film. It’s about how we watch movies today. Expectations are high, especially for mythological stories.
When a film deals with something emotional and cultural, like Ramayana, people want perfection. Even small flaws get noticed fast.
At the same time, makers try new styles. That creates clash between expectation and creativity.
Release And What To Expect
The film is planned for Diwali 2026 release, with second part coming in 2027. So there is still time for improvements.
Till then, debate will continue, opinions will change also. Some will love it, some won’t, that always happens.
But maybe waiting for full film before final judgment, that sounds more fair.
