Another person commented, "It seems in the name of #Ramayana they made #Ravana. Everyone is talking about the glorification of #Ravana. The character of #Yash overshadowed #RanbirKapor completely. I was always concerned that #RanbirKapor can't justify the character of Lord #Rama."

"This is what they have done. Misleading an entire generation through the glorification of Ravana. Shame on Bollywood. Altering or presenting a selective narrative is not good for an epic. Anti-Hindu, adharmic Ravana propaganda," read another comment.

While loyal fans of Yash still took their stand and were in support of the actor.
One person said, "For the first time, I couldn't find Rocking Star Yash in a #Yash movie. There was only the performer Yash visible. Those expressions, those eyes, that walk, those hand movements."
