Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1 now has a firm date. In an Instagram post on 11 October 2026, during Navratri, the makers announced that the film will open in cinemas worldwide on 5 November 2026 across all premium formats, and that advance bookings would open on Dussehra.

Why there was confusion

Producer Namit Malhotra had long spoken of a Diwali 2026 release. Reports then pointed to 8 November in India, which is Diwali, with an overseas opening on 6 November, while other reports mentioned paid previews. The 11 October announcement replaced these with a single worldwide date.

What the announcement said

“Yeh Ram ke Yug ka Aarambh hai. Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana Part 1: In cinemas worldwide, across all premium formats, from 5th November.”

The post was accompanied by a new poster featuring the lead cast.

Languages and formats

The film releases in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, with IMAX and other premium formats. Overseas it carries the title Ramayana: Rise of a Legend.

What about Part 2?

The second film remains planned for Diwali 2027. See our release date page for every update.
