Bringing life to this sacred narrative, Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor takes on the revered role of Lord Rama, embodying righteousness and restraint with striking grace. Opposite him, Kannada megastar Yash transforms into the fierce and formidable Ravana, infusing the character with a haunting intensity.
The two powerhouse performers are set to clash in Ramayana: Part 1 and Part 2, crafting an epic tale of dharma versus adharma that will unfold over two consecutive Diwali releases.
Shot in the grandest fashion for IMAX, the film is being hailed as a visual extravaganza. Majestic sets, detailed world-building, and ethereal landscapes transport viewers to a realm that blends mythology with cutting-edge cinematic finesse.
The visual appeal is further enhanced by a soul-stirring score from none other than music maestro A.R. Rahman, and the film boasts cinematography by a team of Academy Award-winning technicians — elevating the experience to international standards.
The official synopsis shared by the creators reads:
“Set in a timeless cosmos governed by the celestial trinity Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Protector, and Shiva the Destroyer the universe remains in balance until a formidable force emerges. From the shadows rises a demon child, destined to become Ravana, the most feared king to ever walk the earth.
With a singular purpose to eliminate Vishnu, whom he views as the eternal enemy of his kind — Ravana's rise threatens cosmic order. In response, Vishnu incarnates on Earth in his humblest form: as the noble prince Rama.”
Since the footage premiered, praise has been pouring in for Ranbir Kapoor’s divine screen presence and Yash’s intense transformation. The emotionally rich storytelling, combined with grand visuals and a deeply spiritual undertone, has positioned Ramayana as a cinematic milestone in the making.
Scheduled to release globally, Ramayana Part 1 will light up theatres during Diwali 2026, with Part 2 set to follow in Diwali 2027. With its stellar ensemble, awe-inspiring craftsmanship, and a story steeped in India’s cultural soul, the film is poised to redefine mythological storytelling on the silver screen.
Prepare to witness the age-old journey from Ayodhya to Lanka like never before — a timeless saga reborn for a new era, only in cinemas.
