Summary
Reviewers say 'Ram Setu' delves into faith, science, and heritage, highlighting the bridge's significance. Akshay Kumar's performance and adventurous spirit are praised, along with the film's engagement with Indian mythology. However, criticisms target the script, direction, and VFX, with many noting weak execution and inconsistent effects. Political undertones and narrative logic are also questioned, though the film is appreciated for its cultural and historical focus.
Featured reviews
The plot is amazing. Story could have been more clear, many scenes were left vaguely.
The metaphors used are something I have not seen in Bollywood movies earlier which makes it interesting (something that was fascinating in parasites). The villain's company name is pushpak shipping, ravana's airplane. Akshay Kumar's sea suit is named makar, sea crocodile; the guide is AP anjani putra, his boat's name is cheeranjeevi that's immortal which Hanuman is said to be.
The cast should have been different one, this topic and the way it is presented deserves lot more serious actors, it was easy impact plot, but these actors were not able to do that. You will not be connected to any character throughout the movie. This had potential to be a classic movie that stays with masses but nothing like that happens. The only character that is having some depth is Akshay Kumar's but that also doesn't takes you on a journey. You never connect emotionally with the character's feelings. Ranveer Singh or Hrithik Roshan would have been much better choices to connect with audience. Satyadev was the best character and actor in the movie.
Definitely worth a watch. It will just leave a nice movie feeling nothing larger than life.

Underwater Scene is just wow.
Storyline is all about RamSetu, Efforts on the movie while making it can be easily seen in the movie.
Fast pace movie, not a single song in it.
The Story keeps you engaged till the end and the climax gives smile.
The Visuals are Good, people who are saying bad or worst things about movie are not actually wanted to watch the movie or wanted only to say bad things.
I'll say not best or Great movie but those who don't know about the facts but this incident actually happened in 2007.
Whole movie question about Ram Setu and Shree Ram Existence and revealed many small things or interesting facts about the Ram Setu or Shree Ram.
Akshay is pleasant to watch, Satyadev brings smile when he comes on Screen.
One time watch and Good Try Makers.

The story line in the film was good and it developed as the story progresses. The character introductions in the film was really good to watch. Akshay sir did a great job as an archaeologist in the film.
The VFX was good. The background soundtrack was impressive. There was a suspense at the end and it was impressive to watch. The story suddenly changed in the second half and the way it progressed was good. The court scene and the dialogues were written great and Akshay sir was impressive in the court scene.
The movie overall was good and Akshay sir given one of the great performances with different role.

Is Akshay Kumar back with another underwhelming film? After delivering the disappointing action comedy Bachchhan Paandey, a historical action drama Samrat Prithviraj, a family drama Raksha Bandhan, and a crime thriller Cuttputlli, he is back with his latest offering, an adventure action film Ram Setu, but this time he will not disappoint his fans completely. The makers have chosen a fascinating subject that hasn't been explored in any Indian film.
Abhishek Sharma's story was promising and has all the ingredients like adventure, mystery, science, action, and courtroom drama. The dialogues, direction & editing were good, and the background score goes well with the film. But there was more scope for better & engrossing writing here. The concept may have sounded more exciting on paper but the execution is mediocre. Also the below-par VFX is the biggest drawback of the film which has hugely affected the overall impact of the film.
The film starts on a good note and the first half of the film has little cinematic appeal too. But the screenplay can hold the audience in bits & pieces. The film tried to revive itself in the second half and picks up pace. It does become engaging and the surprise in the climax will be loved by most of the viewers.
Akshay Kumar has delivered a notable performance. Jacqueline Fernande was decent in her role but Nushrratt Bharuccha has nothing to offer here. Satya Dev got a well-written role and he has done complete justice to his role in his Bollywood debut. Nassar, Pravesh Rana. Jeniffer Piccinato, and other supporting were just fine in their roles.

Before watching it, I certainly had a notion that the movie might deliberately try to force its way into a religious sentiment. However, I feel, this is a good start. The dialogues are good enough and direction is also ok. Donot have very high expectations, however you also don't need to be highly critical of the movie also. It's a one time watch, for someone who loves historical mystery stories clubbed with indiana jones style. VFX is not good. They have relied too much of VFX which seems too childish. Overall nothing much to complain about.
Be very assured that this is NOT a movie that glorifies a particular religion heavily.
