Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana: Part 1 brings the legendary Indian epic to the big screen, with Ranbir Kapoor portraying Lord Rama. Sai Pallavi will portray Sita, while Yash takes on the role of Ravana. Ravi Dubey will appear as Laxman. The film is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on November 5, 2026. The narrative traces Rama’s life from his early years and marriage to Sita to the royal decree that sends the couple into a 14-year exile.
