About Ramayana

Set nearly 5,000 years in the past and cherished by billions, Ramayana is an eternal heritage that continues to resonate across generations. The film’s first look sparked a massive global frenzy, with a multi-city India launch and a striking Times Square showcase highlighting its scale and ambition. Building on this momentum, the upcoming reveal is positioned not just as an announcement but as a global fan celebration of Rama, uniting audiences across geographies.

Elevating this further is its vision to go beyond a conventional retelling, blending cutting-edge technology with immersive storytelling to create an experience that is both visually spectacular and emotionally powerful.

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios in association with 8-time Oscar-winning DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is envisioned as a pathbreaking cinematic spectacle. The two-part epic is slated for a worldwide IMAX release, with Part 1 arriving in Diwali 2026 and Part 2 in Diwali 2027.
