The production team behind the cinematic epic 'Ramayana: Part One' has officially settled months of speculation regarding its release date. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, the film is now confirmed to premiere in cinemas worldwide on November 5, 2026. The announcement was made public on Sunday, October 11, via a social media post that featured a new promotional poster featuring the lead cast.
The film, which features Ranbir Kapoor in the role of Lord Rama and Sai Pallavi as Sita, had previously been the subject of conflicting reports. While some international promotional materials indicated a November 6 release, producer Namit Malhotra had suggested an Indian debut timed for the Diwali festival. Reports of potential paid previews on November 4 also added to the confusion. By confirming the November 5 date, the studio has clarified that the project will arrive in theatres across all premium formats, including IMAX, simultaneously on a global scale.
As part of the rollout strategy, the makers have confirmed that advance bookings for the film will open on Dussehra. The project, described as the start of a two-part saga, involves a collaboration between Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios, DNEG, and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations. Yash is also set to appear as Ravana, alongside Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. The film will be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Distribution responsibilities have been divided to cover different markets, with Sony Pictures managing the global theatrical launch, while Dharma Productions will handle distribution within the Indian Hindi-speaking market. Following the release of this first instalment, the second chapter of the saga is currently scheduled to reach audiences in Diwali 2027.
