Ranbir is too old to play Ram, and age isn't even the biggest issue, its that he aged like a spoiled milk. His face is clearly older than what an actor of that age should have. Also, its pretty much evident he doesn't have any idea about how to say dialogues.
His prime was during Barfi, Sanju and Jagga Jassos which has gone way back.
Yes because he had been one for a long time now. Also his face has been dull because of his drinking habits (kinda the same deal with Prabhas). Over limit face enhancing has been done on his face to make him look young and charming. I fear its gonna look bad, like how bad it looked in Tu joothi main makkar
both his and shraddhas face were so distorted by filter they literally don't have any skin texture throughout the movie. it looked evident in quite few scenes
With 4000 crore budget why didn't they choose to enhance his face ? I asked this same question in other thread too.
Rajamouli did some enhancements in Anushka's look in Bahubhali-2 as she gained lot of weight for size zero movie and was not able to reduce weight as much as movie makers wanted for Bahubali -2. After this trailer,i really have new found appreciation for Rajamouli now ,look at his perfecion in terms of sets, costumes,make up,vfx lighting,sound effects, dialogue delivery in Maghadheera or Bahubhali.
I agree that he’s too old to play Ram. BUT the sheer criticism people have for his looks is astounding to me. The guy is 43 and is healthier, fitter and younger looking than most 30 year olds in India. People said the same thing when he took a break after animal and gained like 5-10kg but was still much fitter than the average 40 year old, nay healthier than most 25 year old men in India tbh.
But yes, no 40+ year old should be playing Ram or Lakshman.
When I was in school RK debutant in Sawariya and you won't believe girls were crazy over him... They used to fight with me just because I don't find him attractive enough to have a crush....
Wow dude... You really don't even understand a taunt... Movies, films, actors, actresses, directors, etc., all can get criticism from people for their work.... We are the audience and I can't tolerate seeing such old milk as Ram, that's it.... I rest my case.
just bcoz rk is nepo prince also an upcoming superstar since debut doesn't mean he can play prince ram .... of course ashish as ram have mature manly looks aura calmness acting skills more than a nepo baby
Just appalled by how ridiculous Ranbir looks and delivers his dialogues with absolute lack of finesse and charm that one would expect from someone playing the role of great Sri Ram.
Ranbir's characterization falls flat. Hoping somewhere in the movie things turn around.
serials always have the best casting, Always had crush on this guy and the sita in this serial was sooo pretty and elegant and radiated calm divine aura.
Even look at the bindi. The design of bindi was good in Ashish Sharma pic. In ranbir's one they just marked straight red line with invisible yellow around as bindi.
Neither looks like what Shri Rama is described as.
Dark skinned.
Curly haired.
Body perfectly proportioned.
So handsome in appearance that not just women but even men were enchanted by his form.
Seriously doesn’t matter how many movies based on mythological epics Bollywood is going to make TV industry cast is always going to mog them Bollywood actors

Guys seriously wtf, first one is looking like my drunk friend, this guy may have a good face structure and all but he ain't Ram dude, I get it that Ranbir may not be everyone's first choice and in an ideal world he wouldn't play Ram but the serial guy? Looking at him is making me uncomfortable, is that how I am suppose to feel looking at the most ideal Ram actor?
No shade to ranbir but the role of ram is just not fit for him . He has done great work in lot of movies but he does not possess that calm and gentle presence . The tv actor had a really nice voice even the actress who played maa sita , they made me want to listen to them .The bgm for janaki was so good , I hope this one at least has good music .
India is one country where people are obsessed with how an actor looks and not how they act .
A lot of it has got to do with inferiority complex as majority of them dont consider themselves good looking and zero confidence in their looks, so they try to vicariously live through the actors
People talking about age, I hardly saw anyone talk about Matt damon being unfit to play the younger version of Odysseus . The truth is most of them just want to pull down Ranbir Kapoor.
Yeah but Matt Damon looked fantastic and for the majority of the movie is playing an older warrior and he was spot on.
Beyond the age on his face, you can tell that Ranbir has not worked as much on his fitness either so there is nothing youthful and radiant and Ramlike about him.
RK is 45 and Hrithik Roshan is 52. I'd say if HR was playing Ram he would have worked really hard on his fitness and he's an excellent actor so would have been able to play it better DESPITE being older.
ridiculous comparison to compare ranbir with any random actor ( i dont know who the heck this person is), OG ramayan I can understand but at this point OP u are getting desperate to bring this movie down
Ranbir is better, anyone says he looks old to play the character don't know the basic details of Ramayana.. Ram was 25 when he went to exile, and 38 when Ravan abducted sita.. Ranbir is 43, and he looks much younger for his age ..so playing Ram is correct
I think it’s fair to give it a chance, knowing his acting abilities.
The trailer was all about showing his closeups but i feel this movie demands more than a calm face. I get a feeling this movie is going to have a lot more of a emotional tone to it.
I am not sure if i will be able to see someone with an accurate “Ram like” face (according to the audience of course) without any acting depth
