With a staggering ₹4,000 crore budget and a two‑part release slated for Diwali 2026 and 2027, Nitesh Tiwari’s mythic epic is already turning heads before the first frame even hits the screen.
Ranbir Kapoor strides into Lord Ram’s shoes, bow in hand and a saffron‑clad silhouette that feels both regal and relatable. Sai Pallavi, draped in traditional saffron, exudes the calm grace of Sita, while Ravie Dubey as Lakshman balances the trio’s dynamic with stoic charm.
Yash, in his gold‑adorned Ravana, turns the poster into a visual manifesto, his intense stare making the villain feel larger‑than‑life. Fans are already hailing him as the most compelling antagonist in a decade, a rare case where the bad guy gets the hype.
The ensemble rounds out with Sunny Deol as the thunderous Hanuman, Rakul Preet Singh as the vengeful Surpanakha, Lara Dutta and Kajal Aggarwal as the royal Kaikeyi and Mandodari. Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman’s score, coupled with DNEG and Monster Mind’s VFX, promises a sound and sight that will breathe new life into an ancient tale.
Social media erupted when the first poster dropped—users hailing it as the best since the last epic, and the tagline ‘Together Always, in Dharma’ echoing the film’s promise of unity amid chaos. As Diwali approaches, the buzz is palpable, and the stakes feel higher than any blockbuster of the year. Ramayana’s poster rollout is a visual feast that promises an epic cinematic experience.
