Fans react to Lord Ram’s exile scene
A tease of the scene in the film’s first glimpse has already won praise from the audience. Fans have taken to social media to share, “My favt shot from the #Ramayana glimpse. Ayodhya is soaked in this heavy, somber blue, but Rama, Sita, and Laxman stand out in a warm, golden glow. It literally looks like the light is leaving the city with them. The way the camera stays behind the crowd makes us feel like one of the citizens of Ayodhya, helpless as we watch them walk away for exile. Absolute 10/10 for the emotional visual storytelling here. The technicality is worth applauding!”Another shared the scene and explained, “This scene, where entire Ayodhya is in darkness and only light is with Ram Ji, it’s very significant detailing. When Lord Rama went into exile, it was as if darkness had fallen over his kingdom. He is believed to be the embodiment of light, truth, and righteousness. Connect this to Diwali. After years of exile, when Lord Rama finally returned to Ayodhya, the people welcomed him by lighting rows of diyas (oil lamps). These lights symbolized the end of darkness and the return of hope, joy, and divine presence. #Ramayana teaser has wonderful shots, that aren’t getting attention due to few flaws.”‘Ramyana’ release date‘Ramayana’, that also stars Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana is slated to hit the big screens on Diwali 2026.
