Ramayana Part 1 Set for Global Release on November 6 2026

It finally has a date – the first half of Nitesh Tiwari’s grand‑scale retelling of the Indian legend, Ramayana Part 1, will open its doors to audiences across the globe on 6 November 2026.

Fans will see Ranbir Kapoor stepping into the shoes of Prince Rama, Sai Pallavi bringing Sita to life, and Yash embodying the fierce king Ravana. The trio is set against a backdrop of sweeping vistas, massive battle sequences and mythic weaponry that the trailer hinted at earlier this year.

What makes this project feel almost cinematic‑mythical is the star‑studded crew behind the camera. Hans Zimmer teams up with the legendary A.R. Rahman to craft a score that fuses Western orchestration with Indian motifs – a partnership that feels as epic as the story itself.

Action choreography? That’s in the hands of Terry Notary and Guy Norris, whose work on Hollywood blockbusters promises fight scenes that will feel both visceral and larger‑than‑life. Meanwhile, DNEG – the Oscar‑winning VFX house behind Dune and Interstellar – is handling the visual effects, and both parts are being shot for IMAX presentation.

Production is a joint effort between Prime Focus Studios (led by Namit Malhotra) and Yash’s own Monster Mind Creations. Sony Pictures Entertainment will handle the worldwide distribution, and in India the film will be released through Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

True to the spirit of the tale, the film is being released in several tongues, English included, to reach viewers far beyond the subcontinent. The timing is no accident either – the Diwali period, when Rama’s return to Ayodhya is celebrated, provides a symbolic backdrop for the first installment, while the sequel is slated for Diwali 2027.

All told, Ramayana Part 1 aims to be more than a retelling; it’s an attempt to bring an age‑old story onto the biggest screens with the biggest talent. Whether you’re a devotee of the epic or simply a lover of grand cinema, the November 6 launch is shaping up to be a cultural moment worth marking on your calendar.
