Another person commented, “Looks like they have made #Raavan in the name of #Ramayan. Everyone is talking about the glory of #Raavan. #Yash’s character completely overshadows #Ranbir Kapoor. I was always worried that #RanbirKapoor could not do justice to the character of Lord #Ram.”
It seems that #Ravan was created in the name of #Ramayana. Everyone is talking about the glory of #Raavan. #Yash’s character completely overshadows #RanbirKpur. I always worry that #Ranbirakpur can’t do justice to the character of Lord #Ram. https://t.co/AOv5JBOs0l

“This is what they have done. Misleading an entire generation by glorifying Ravana. Shame on Bollywood. Changing or presenting a selective narrative is not good for an epic. Propaganda of anti-Hindu, righteous Ravana,” read another comment.
This they did. By glorifying Ravana they misled the entire generation..😭😭 Shame on Bollywood.

While Yash’s loyal fans still took their stand and were in support of the actor.
One person said, “For the first time, I couldn’t find the rocking star Yash in a #yash movie. Only the actor Yash was visible. Those expressions, those eyes, that walk, those hand movements.”
First time I didn’t get rocking star Yash in a #yash movie, only actor Yash was seen. That expression, eyes 👀 That walking, hand movement. Rocky, Raya, Rajhuli < Ravana beats every character in terms of performance 🔥 #Ramayana https://t.co/8kv9FaNaaI

“#Yash as #Raavan is arguably the most perfect casting in Indian cinema. His commanding presence and flamboyant personality fit the legendary character flawlessly,” wrote another user.
