This high-budget mythological epic is heavily panned for butchering the sacred Ramayana with poor VFX, cringeworthy dialogues, mismatched modern slang, and weak performances despite star power. The script feels rushed and superficial, action sequences underwhelm, and cultural reverence is seen as undermined by commercial choices. It sparked massive backlash from audiences and critics alike, landing on worst-Bollywood lists for disrespecting the source material. While some appreciate the attempt at spectacle and music, most view it as a disappointing flop that wasted potential on execution flaws—earning Razzie-like scorn in India.
