The wait for Ramayana just got even more exciting. According to an exclusive report by Bollywood Hungama, the first installment of Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious mythological epic is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on Friday, November 6, 2026, during the Diwali festive season.
As per Bollywood Hungama, the makers are aiming for a synchronized global rollout. A source told the publication, “The idea is to have a day-and-date release. Hence, the film will be out across the world in most markets on November 6.”
While the days leading up to Diwali are generally considered a slow phase for box office business, industry insiders believe Ramayana could rewrite the rulebook. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, the source added, “The buzz for Ramayana is tremendous and hence, it’ll surely open with a bang. From Monday, November 9, the sky will be the limit for the film.”
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, best known for the blockbuster Dangal, the film boasts a stellar ensemble cast. Ranbir Kapoor stars as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi plays Sita, Yash essays the role of Ravana, Sunny Deol portrays Lord Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey appears as Lakshman.
Produced by Namit Malhotra, Ramayana also brings together two legendary composers — A. R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer—for what promises to be one of the most ambitious musical collaborations in Indian cinema.
The film is planned as a two-part saga, with Part One releasing on Diwali 2026, followed by Part Two during Diwali 2027. Given its massive scale, star-studded cast, and soaring anticipation, Ramayana is already being tipped as one of the biggest cinematic events in Indian film history.
