ETimes gives 'Ramayana' 4.5 stars out of 5

ETimes rated 'Ramayana' 4.5 out of 5 stars, with particular appreciation for Ranbir Kapoor's portrayal of Lord Rama. The review noted that the actor adopted a restrained approach to the character, presenting a sharp contrast to his performance in 'Animal'.The review stated, "With Ramayana, however, Ranbir delivers an almost anti-Animal performance, making a compelling case for an entirely different dimension of his talent.

Revered as Maryada Purushottam, the ideal man and the ultimate embodiment of righteousness, responsibility and dharma, Ram is a character who demands extraordinary restraint. Ranbir seems to understand this instinctively. He consciously reins in his natural intensity, allowing emotion to surface through measured expressions, subtle gestures and a remarkably controlled performance.

"The ETimes review drew attention to the contrast between Ranbir Kapoor's portrayal of Lord Rama and the intense character he played in 'Animal'. As Rama, the actor relies on controlled expressions and subtle gestures rather than an overt display of emotion.With Sandeep Reddy Vanga now joining the list of celebrity admirers, 'Ramayana' continues to draw attention for its lead performances.
