The newly released trailer for Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1 has sharply divided the audience online. Though given limited screen time in the trailer, Sai Pallavi as Sita has earned widespread appreciation for bringing warmth and grace to the role. A large section of the audience has defended the massive production scale handled by Oscar-winning VFX house DNEG. They argue that the sweeping landscapes of Ayodhya and Lanka are meant for a massive IMAX screen rather than mobile compression. The best thing about the new Ramayan is that it will prompt audiences to rediscover Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan once again.”
