Ahead of the unveiling of the ‘Rama glimpse’ from Namit Malhotra’s epic film Ramayana: Part One today, a video of Alia Bhatt praising husband Ranbir Kapoor’s performance in the film has gone viral on social media. In the video, Alia can be seen hyping the ‘Rama unit’ of Ramayana, which is set to be revealed today. She also praised Ranbir’s performance in the film, saying the actor has done a “beautiful job”.
The now-viral video shows Alia Bhatt seated on what appears to be a couch as she records the message. Speaking in an excited tone, she said, “Ramayana’s unit is going to be out tomorrow. It is the unit called the Rama unit. I’m going to be posting it on my social media, so again, please go out there and support it. It’s absolutely fabulous.”
She further added, “I think Ranbir has done such a beautiful job, and I just can’t wait for you guys to see it. It’s just out of this world. So, yeah, I think I have said everything.”

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who watched the first glimpse of the film, has shared his review on social media. In a post on social media, he said that he is “mesmerised” after watching the first glimpse.
“Just watched the new glimpse, Rama, from the most-awaited epic Ramayana, and I am mesmerised. It is breathtaking, no doubt, but more importantly, the glimpse lives up to the massive, gigantic expectations,” he said.
He also praised Ranbir Kapoor’s performance in the film. “Ranbir Kapoor, who portrays Lord Rama, looks exceptional - exuding grace, divinity and strength... The stunning visuals, the groundbreaking VFX, and an electrifying background score [Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman] – this glimpse from Ramayana is simply spectacular.”

Ramayana, widely touted as one of Bollywood’s biggest upcoming films, stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshmana.
Often described as India’s answer to global epics like The Lord of the Rings, Avatar, and Gladiator, the film reportedly has a massive budget of around Rs 4,000 crore. It is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra.
The film will be released in two parts, with Part One scheduled to hit theatres in October 2026 ahead of Diwali, while Part Two is planned for release in October 2027.
Interestingly, Ramayana marks the second major cinematic adaptation of Valmiki’s epic in this decade. In 2023, Om Raut’s Adipurush, starring Prabhas, failed to impress audiences and struggled at the box office.
