netizens are heavily roasting specific wardrobe choices that feel completely out of place for an epic set in the ancient Treta Yuga.
The much-anticipated trailer launch of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1 has sparked a massive online meme fest due to its surprisingly modern costume design and styling.
Despite receiving widespread acclaim for its grand cinematic scale, devotional music, and powerhouse cast — including Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, and Yash as Ravana — netizens are heavily roasting specific wardrobe choices that feel completely out of place for an epic set in the ancient Treta Yuga
· Production has been accused of sourcing costumes from contemporary Indian soap operas. Sai Pallavi’s Maa Sita styling is a primary target of the memes. Viewers point out that her neatly draped sarees and blouse styles resemble current wedding fashion rather than Vedic-era attire.
· Lara Dutta’s Queen Kaikeyi look has also come under tremendous scrutiny. Apart from her wine-coloured silk saree paired with a contrasting green blouse, her sleek, salon-straight hair has contributed majorly to netizens’ amusement.
· Rakul Preet Singh’s Surpanaka is clothed in a revealing strapless top, prompting users to ask if “lip fillers and tube tops” existed in the Treta Yuga.
