Sunil Lahri critiques film's emotional and divine depth

Lahri said the film is visually impressive with world-class VFX and strong performances by the actors. He added that the dialogues often fail to convey the emotional weight of the story.

He noted that several important episodes are missing, specifically scenes with Parashuram, Ahilya, and Surpanakha's speech to Rama. Lahri described the film as focusing more on power than devotion, saying Ravana is glorified and the sense of divinity is lacking.

Production details and strategic release

The film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi. It is the most expensive film ever made in India.

Producers scheduled the release to coincide with the post-Diwali holidays to increase box-office earnings. The film maintained its momentum on Wednesday as ticket sales continued after the holiday period ended.

Future targets and sequel plans

The film operates against a reported budget of ₹1600 crore. It must sustain its current box office pace to reach a break-even point.

On Thursday, the film aims to surpass the lifetime domestic collections of Gadar 2, Pathaan, and Animal. This is the first of two planned installments, with the sequel slated for release on Diwali 2028.

The film earned ₹64.85 crore net in India on its opening day, Thursday, 5 November 2026. Collections fell about 25 percent on Friday to reach ₹48 crore.
