Prepare for an unparalleled cinematic celebration! Today marks a historic moment for Indian cinema as the makers of “Ramayana” officially unveiled an electrifying introduction video, leaving audiences and critics in awe. This “absolute banger,” as fans are calling it, has confirmed that the highly anticipated Part 1 of the epic will indeed hit theatres on Diwali 2026, promising an absolute spectacle for the festive season.

Ramayana: A Diwali Blockbuster in the Making

The long wait for definitive news about the cinematic adaptation of the ancient Indian epic, “Ramayana,” culminated today with the official unveiling of its introduction video by the makers. The stunning visual showcase, which was launched simultaneously across nine major Indian cities, served as the formal announcement, immediately sparking widespread excitement and setting the stage for a truly grand production.

Producer Namit Malhotra, CEO of Oscar-winning VFX giant DNEG and Prime Focus Studios, had teased a “vision showreel” and a three-minute teaser. While the full teaser’s release date remains strategically unconfirmed for now (likely closer to the film’s release), the “Introduction” video provided a powerful glimpse into the world of “Ramayana.” Fans are already raving about the visuals and the sheer scale hinted at, fuelling predictions of a record-breaking theatrical run.

Oscar-Winning VFX, Hans Zimmer & AR Rahman: A Dream Team Assembles

The quality seen in today’s introduction video is no surprise, as the production of “Ramayana” is being meticulously handled by Oscar-winning Prime Focus Studios and DNEG. This collaboration guarantees a visual spectacle of international standards, promising to transport audiences directly into the mythical landscapes, grand palaces, and epic battlefields of the Ramayana.

Adding to the film’s extraordinary ambition, the music for “Ramayana” will be composed by an unprecedented collaboration between two of the world’s most renowned musical maestros: Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman. Zimmer, an Academy Award-winning composer famous for his scores in “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” and “Dune,” brings his signature orchestral grandeur. A.R. Rahman, India’s own Oscar winner, known for his soul-stirring melodies in films like “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Roja,” adds his profound emotional depth. This dream collaboration promises a soundtrack that will be as epic and timeless as the narrative itself, enhancing the film’s emotional impact and global resonance.

Stellar Cast Embodies Iconic Roles for Definitive Adaptation

Under the direction of Nitesh Tiwari, known for his nuanced storytelling in “Dangal” and “Chhichhore,” “Ramayana” has assembled a star-studded cast, ensuring authentic and powerful portrayals of its iconic characters including Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Mata Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, Arun Govil as Dashrath, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Kajal Aggarwal as Mandodari and other key roles filled by a strong supporting cast including Ajinkya Deo, and more, ensuring a rich tapestry of characters.

Ramayana on Diwali 2026 and 2027

“Ramayana” will be presented as an epic two-part cinematic saga, giving director Nitesh Tiwari and his team the space to fully explore the depth and grandeur of the legendary tale.

  • Part 1 on Diwali 2026.
  • Part 2 will follow a year later, releasing on Diwali 2027.

Diwali, a celebration of Lord Ram’s homecoming and the triumph of righteousness, serves as the perfect backdrop for the film’s release, echoing its core message. The strategic spacing of the two parts ensures maximum anticipation and allows for extensive post-production, particularly given the reliance on world-class VFX.

As the “Ramayana” embarks on its cinematic journey, today’s unveiling has solidified its position as one of the most ambitious and culturally significant projects in Indian film history. The combination of its legendary source material, a dream team of talent both in front of and behind the camera, and an unprecedented scale of production promises a truly immersive and unforgettable experience for global audiences.
