Ramayana: Part 1 is set for an India theatrical release on November 8, 2026, after its full trailer arrived worldwide on July 30. The Nitesh Tiwari film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana.
The India release date has remained consistent across major reporting. Reuters reported earlier this year that the first film would open in India on November 8 to coincide with Diwali. The Times of India reported on August 8 that producer Namit Malhotra has again identified November 8 as the India release date.
The latest Times of India report added that some international markets are now expected to receive the film on November 6, two days before the India opening. That represents a change from earlier reporting that placed the United States release on November 8 alongside India. The India date itself remains November 8 in the sources reviewed.
The full trailer was released on July 30 after an earlier digital launch planned for July 24 was postponed. The Economic Times and other current entertainment reports confirmed the July 30 rollout, which followed promotional events in India and a presentation connected with San Diego Comic-Con.
The trailer centers the conflict between Ram and Ravana while introducing the scale of the film’s ensemble. Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash lead the cast, with Sunny Deol and other major actors appearing in supporting roles. The project is planned as a two-part screen adaptation.
The film has also been positioned for a wider international audience. Reuters reported in April that the producers were aiming to take the Indian epic to global markets, while more recent distribution coverage has continued to emphasize that international strategy.
With the trailer now public and the India release date set for November 8, the next major phase will be the film’s final theatrical rollout. The current reporting supports the November India date, while international release timing may vary by market.
