Indian Epic Ramayana’s First Reactions Are Making LOTR Comparisons & More
Early reactions praise the epic’s scale and performances as advance sales top 1.81 lakh tickets across 4,339 shows, Sacnilk said.
- On October 20, 2026, producers opened advance bookings for the mythological epic 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend,' directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi, ahead of the worldwide release on November 5, 2026.
- A disagreement between distributor Dharma Productions and exhibitors over revenue-sharing terms initially limited ticket availability, as Dharma reportedly sought a higher 60%, 50%, and 40% share for the opening three weeks versus the standard 52.5%, 45%, and 37.5%.
- Despite these negotiations, trade tracker Sacnilk reports the film has grossed over Rs 17 crore in India from 3.33 lakh tickets sold, while international pre-sales have surged toward $3 million.
- Producer Namit Malhotra hosted the film's world premiere at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles on October 27, where he described the event as his "Oscar moment" amid positive early international feedback.
- Planned as a two-part adaptation, the second instalment is scheduled for release during Diwali 2028, with the project co-produced by Prime Focus Studios and Monster Mind Creations, featuring music by composer Hans Zimmer.
