Suryaa Entertainment Desk: Films based on the Hindu epic Ramayana consistently generate significant interest among audiences. In recent years, two major productions—Adipurush, directed by Om Raut and starring Prabhas, and the recently released Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor—have become subjects of discussion. These films exhibit key differences in production style, visual effects, and audience reception.
Although Adipurush was released with high expectations, it faced criticism regarding its visual effects and character design starting from the teaser phase. Despite achieving strong opening day figures in Telugu states and in Hindi, the film did not achieve the expected level of box office success due to negative feedback and mixed reviews. Technical shortcomings and graphics that failed to impress audiences were noted as unfavorable factors. However, the emotional songs and the performance of Prabhas were received well by fans.
In contrast, the Ramayana film directed by Nitesh Tiwari was produced with the collaboration of Hollywood studios and utilizes advanced visual effects. The film has generated significant anticipation and is recording strong box office collections. Audiences have praised the large-scale battle sequences, the graphics, and the character designs. Film analysts suggest that beyond box office performance, the two films demonstrate a clear evolution in the use of technology in cinema.
