Of mortals and men: Unpacking the Ramayana Trailer, hero worship and, Ranbir Kapoor's VFX-heavy epic
9 AGO 2026 · The trailer for Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi's Ramayana has taken over the internet, and this week on Casually Obsessed, Niharika, Aishwarya, and Shruti are picking it apart scene by scene. From uncanny parallels to Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey to VFX that feels more "Star Ka Ramayan" than cinematic epic, the trio doesn't hold back on their first impressions.
But the conversation goes deeper than production value. They ask who actually gets to tell this story, and what happens when hero worship collides with celebrity culture? Along the way, they trace a line from Sita's trial by fire to modern political discourse, reflect on Bahubali and Dhurandhar as benchmarks for authenticity, and debate what gets kept, and conveniently left out, when ancient epics get a modern retelling.
Equal parts pop culture takedown and cultural critique, this episode asks whether Bollywood is ready to do justice to India's most sacred story — or whether it's just another glossy imitation.New episodes of Casually Obsessed drop weekly.
