Reception
[edit]A critic from News18 wrote, "Projects such as Ramyug will always be open to unfair comparisons but this is as bad as it can get. Let alone trying to bank on it’s mass appeal, director Kunal Kohli should hope that not many come across his uninteresting take on Ramayan".[2] A critic from film Companion wrote, "To breathe an ancient text, like the Ramayana, with life, you must have conviction, something new to add, something new to say. Otherwise, it festers like this 8 episode saga".[3][4][5]
