Ramayana Part 1 will release in China, Japan, South Korea, and Russia in the first quarter of 2027. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh said, "In fact, it has already been submitted for censor clearance in China." The film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, already got a release in many other global markets.
Next year, Ramayana Part 1 is looking to release in four big international markets, including China, Japan, South Korea and Russia. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film was released in theatres on November 5.
In 2017, Nitesh Tiwari's Dangal (2016), starring Aamir Khan, became a bona fide blockbuster in China as it went on to gross around Rs 1,305 crore, more than double what it earned in India. Now, Tiwari awaits the China release of his latest film, Ramayana Part 1, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Yash as Ravana and Sai Pallavi as Sita. A new report reveals that Ramayana will be released not just in China but also Japan, South Korea and Russia in the first quarter of 2027. The film was released in Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam in India. Overseas, a shorter English version titled Ramayana: Rise of a Legend has also been released.
