Pakistani YouTubers praise Ramayana trailer and defend its Rs 4,000 crore budget

The Story in Brief

Pakistani YouTubers have praised the trailer of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, released on July 30, for its visual detail and improved VFX. MZee Reactions called it “zabardast” after applauding Ravana’s scenes, Ranbir Kapoor’s entry as Lord Rama, the golden Lanka and the contrast between Rama and Ravana. They also defended the film’s estimated Rs 4,000 crore budget, arguing that investors, not viewers’ money, are funding the production. Producer Namit Malhotra told The Prakhar Gupta Xperience podcast that both planned films could cost about $500 million. Ramayana is scheduled as a two-part release, with Part 1 due on Diwali 2026 and Part 2 in 2027.

The Indian Opinion

The lazy version of this story is that Pakistani viewers either reject Indian cinema or endorse every expensive Indian project. This reaction supports neither claim. A trailer can impress viewers while saying little about the final film, and a producer’s estimate is not the same as a verified cost or box-office return. The sensible test is whether the two films recover their reported budget without relying on inflated publicity numbers.
