Ramayana first glimpse review
Earlier, speaking to us exclusively, the producer and film business expert Girish Johar shared his review and said, "Ramayana’s first look will be humongous. It will be a film of one of its kind. And it will be a film which will be going into the pages of history. Because the film will have no age. By meaning, it is not that we forget it after 5 years, 10 years or 20 years. Like while we were younger, we used to watch Ramayana on TV and we still remember that. So, it is timeless. So, same will be with this particular film. It will be a timeless piece of creation for sure. Something astounding is on its way.”
