The Indian film crowd is already abuzz over Nitesh Tiwari’s latest mythic venture. Word on the street is that the director, known for his flair for grand storytelling, is once again setting the stage for a cinematic spectacle.
Set to light up screens on 5 November, the saga sees Ranbir Kapoor donning the sandals of Lord Ram, with Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as the formidable Ravana—an ensemble that has fans talking.
As of noon Wednesday, advance tickets have crossed the ₹5 cr threshold, with 91,125 seats sold across 3,542 shows. The Hindi version accounts for the lion's share, while the Kannada and Telugu dubs trail modestly, reflecting a strong regional appetite.
Mumbai’s IMAX 3D at PVR ICON: Phoenix Palladium is charging a premium—₹2,770 for recliner seats, a price that’s already turning heads. The city’s earliest screening is a 6:45 am show at Miraj Cinemas, while the last curtain call is slated for 11:45 pm at Maison INOX, underscoring a day‑long frenzy.
Tiwari’s plan to split the story into two parts—Part 1 hitting screens in 2026 and Part 2 slated for next year—adds a layer of anticipation for viewers who crave an extended mythic journey.
With the rush already in full swing, cinema‑goers can expect a spectacle that blends myth with modern spectacle; the next few weeks will decide if the hype translates into a record‑setting run.
