hate me for saying this, but Sai Pallavi as Maa Sita in Ramayana is a misfit, and no matter how much people try to convince me otherwise, I just can’t see it

Yash as Ravana is insane, Ranbir is so amazing as Prabhu Shree Ram, and Sai Pallavi too nails the role of Maa Sita
The movie is so beautiful, the visuals are top notch, and the performances by everyone is so good
I've developed the biggest crush on Sai Pallavi. there's something so beautiful yet effortlessly simple about her. Her smile and those doe eyes are absolutely gorgeous. I'd watched only two of her films before Ramayana and now I'm about to binge her entire filmography.

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana also features Ravie Dubey, Arun Govil, Lara Dutta, Rakul Preet Singh and Vivek Oberoi in important roles, among others. Despite the mixed reactions to the film, the performances have been one of the aspects receiving appreciation from viewers.
The Free Press Journal's review of the film also highlighted the performances, particularly Yash's portrayal of Ravana. The review read, "Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is a sincere and visually grand attempt at bringing one of India's greatest epics to the big screen. While Ranbir Kapoor takes some time to settle into his role, Yash is an absolute standout as Ravana. Sai Pallavi and the supporting cast also add to the film's appeal."
Commenting on the film's technical aspects and overall experience, the review further read, "The impressive VFX, good direction and engaging storytelling make the 3-hour-15-minute runtime feel manageable. The music could have been better, and a few performances could have had more impact, but these issues do not take away too much from the overall experience."
