With 609,307 views on Thursday, 5 November 2026 our article of the day is Ramayana: Part 1.
Ramayana: Part 1 is a 2026 Indian Hindi-language epic mythological film directed by Nitesh Tiwari, who co-wrote the screenplay with Shridhar Raghavan. Produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, the film is based on the epic poem Ramayana by Valmiki, which chronicles the life and trials of Prince Rama. It is the first of a two-part film. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Yash (in his Hindi film debut), Sai Pallavi, Ravi Dubey (in his film debut), Sunny Deol, Anupam Kher, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Vivek Oberoi, Kunal Kapoor, Adinath Kothare, Arun Govil, Indira Krishnan, and Lara Dutta.
The project was announced in May 2017 as a live-action adaptation of Valmiki's Ramayana, initially conceived as a trilogy by producers. Following several years of development and script refinement, the project was restructured as a two-part film series under Tiwari's sole direction.
Hans Zimmer and A. R. Rahman collaborated to compose the score, marking Zimmer's debut work in the Indian film industry. Filming began in April 2024 at Film City, Mumbai, and continued until July 2025. With an estimated combined budget of the duology being ₹4,000 crore (US$420 million), it is set to be the most expensive Indian film ever made.
Ramayana: Part 1 premiered at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on 27 October 2026, and was released worldwide on 5 November, coinciding with the Diwali holidays. The film received mixed reviews from critics.
