Cinema VinesThe long‑awaited trailer for Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming epic, Ramayana Part 1, has once again found its way onto the internet after a recent Comic‑Con screening. Fans of the film, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash and Rakul Preet Singh, were left disappointed when the footage leaked in fragments following the showcase in San Diego on July 24. An X user (formerly Twitter) even managed to stitch the clips together into a cohesive two‑minute preview, sparking a wave of reactions across social media.
Earlier in the month, the trailer was briefly shown at the Pratham Sankalp event in New Delhi on July 18, where a handful of clips also slipped online. Despite the leaks, the makers have yet to release an official version, and the film’s producer, Namit Malhotra, confirmed on Instagram that the trailer’s launch would be postponed. “Today is a very special moment for our Ramayana, my dream of taking Ramayana to the world is now a reality with our partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment,” Malhotra wrote, adding that the global release would be delayed to a later date.
Social media users expressed a mix of frustration and optimism. One fan wrote, “We stayed awake all night waiting for the movie trailer, but at the very last moment, they broke their promise and canceled the trailer. You did great job this is what we want.” Another commented, “#Ramayan trailer leaked to be honest it look more like adipurush but we have to wait and watch. Ranveer in ANIMAL has negative impact on this movie as RAM. I didn't get goosebumps.” A Redditor praised the visual effects, noting, “Avatar level VFX, Dialogues are good, Some things need some more work. I believe they will fix.”
Critics of the leak pointed out the lack of robust security measures, with one post stating, “It’s disappointing that a film as big as #Ramayana couldn’t protect its trailer from leaking before the official release. The makers should have had stronger security measures in place. Months of hard work deserve better than an online leak.”
Malhotra’s Instagram message highlighted the project’s cultural significance, describing it as a moment of pride that would showcase Indian heritage to a global audience. He thanked fans for their support and urged the youth to protect the film’s future. As the official trailer remains on hold, anticipation continues to build, with fans hoping that the final release will meet the high expectations set by the leaked previews.
