The excitement around Ramayana is building as the film enters the final stretch before its theatrical release on November 5, 2026. Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi have continued the film’s international promotional campaign in London, joined by director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra. The London appearance follows a Los Angeles premiere and promotional interactions with international media, giving the ambitious Indian production a wider global spotlight.
Cast takes the film campaign to London
According to a Times of India report published on November 3, the team attended a screening in London and interacted with international media outlets. The cast also posed for photographs and recreated Ranbir Kapoor’s bow-and-arrow pose associated with the film’s promotional material. The visit is described as one of the final international stops before the film’s theatrical debut.
The film features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. The project has attracted attention because of its scale, visual ambition and the combination of major stars from different Indian film industries. The makers are positioning it for audiences in India and overseas, with multiple language versions expected to broaden its reach.
Overseas advance bookings approach $5 million
The Times of India report cited overseas advance booking estimates of approximately $4.71 million across all days, placing the film near the $5 million mark before release. North America was reported as the largest overseas market, with the United States and Canada contributing an estimated $3.56 million. The United Kingdom and Ireland, along with Australia and New Zealand, were also mentioned as important markets.
These figures are reported estimates and should be treated as a snapshot rather than a final box-office result. Advance bookings can change as additional shows are opened, local promotions continue and audience interest develops. Final collections will depend on actual ticket sales, occupancy, distribution and the number of screens available in each territory.
Why the release is attracting attention
Ramayana draws on a story that is familiar to audiences across India and many parts of the world. Bringing an epic narrative to a large-format theatrical experience creates high expectations around casting, music, visual effects, production design and the treatment of the source material. The film’s international campaign also reflects the growing ambition of Indian productions to reach audiences beyond the domestic market.
For the makers, the opening weekend will be an important test of whether the promotional momentum translates into cinema attendance. Reviews, word of mouth and audience response to the performances and storytelling will influence the film’s longer run.
Release date and what viewers should check
The first part is scheduled to release in theatres on November 5, with special previews reported for November 4. Viewers should check local cinema listings for showtimes, language versions, premium formats and ticket availability. As the release approaches, audiences should rely on official distributor announcements for confirmed details.
