Ranbir Kapoor Breaks Silence on Ramayana Trailer CGI Criticism
There is a new movie called Ramayana with famous actors in it.
Its trailer came out last month.
People had a lot of different opinions about it.
Some people did not like the special effects, which are called CGI.
Some people also did not like the sarees the actresses wore, saying they looked too modern.
The main actor, the producer, and the director heard all this criticism.
They said people are judging the movie too quickly.
They explained that watching a trailer on a phone is not the same as seeing the movie on a big screen.
They said people should watch the whole film in a theater before deciding if it is good.
The movie team worked very hard to make it look special.
The trailer of Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi, was released last month.
It received mixed reactions, mainly over its heavy VFX and the 'modern' sarees worn by female characters.
Ranbir Kapoor, producer Namit Malhotra, and director Nitesh Tiwari have broken their silence on the criticism.
The trio hit back at 'CGI critics' for overlooking the team's hard work after watching only a glimpse on their phones.
They believe the film can only be judged after experiencing it on the big screen.
