The CM’s First Impression On ‘Ramayana’ Teaser: Ranbir-Yash epic set for Diwali 2026 release

The CM’s First Impression On ‘Ramayana’ Teaser: Ranbir-Yash epic set for Diwali 2026 release
The Ramayana, one of Bollywood's most ambitious projects in recent history, is gradually unveiling itself to the world. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and featuring a star-studded cast that includes Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman, the epic is being envisioned as a two-part franchise with a global scale and storytelling ambition rarely seen in Indian cinema. With a production budget reportedly close to ₹1,000 crore, this magnum opus is already generating widespread anticipation well ahead of its scheduled releases during Diwali 2026 and Diwali 2027.
The first glimpse of the film was meant to be revealed at the ongoing WAVES Summit in Mumbai, where a 156-second-long teaser had been prepped for screening. This teaser, designed in 3D and granted a 'U' certificate by the CBFC, was expected to offer audiences their first immersive experience of Tiwari’s interpretation of the timeless Indian epic. However, out of respect for the tragic terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the makers decided to cancel the screening a move that was met with appreciation and support across social and political circles.

At the WAVES Summit, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, accompanied by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, visited the exclusive Ramayana pavilion. After being given a sneak peek of the teaser in a private showing, the CM reportedly praised the visual quality and creative ambition of the project. Speaking to the film's producer, Namit Malhotra, Fadnavis said, “I believe this is how we should tell our stories to the new generation, and I believe what you are setting up will be the best in the globe.” His remarks were a major morale boost for the team behind the film, who have been working meticulously to ensure the epic gets a presentation worthy of its stature.

A Cinematic Milestone in the Making
The Ramayana is not just being envisioned as a visual spectacle but also as a cultural milestone that aims to resonate with global audiences. The involvement of legendary composers AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer is testament to the film’s global ambition. The two Oscar-winning musicians are joining forces to create a soundtrack that blends Indian classical themes with grand orchestral elements, giving the mythological drama a musical scope as vast as its visual canvas.

Director Nitesh Tiwari, known for his storytelling finesse in films like Dangal and Chhichhore, is reportedly taking great care in presenting the Ramayana with both authenticity and modern cinematic appeal. Sources close to the project suggest that heavy research has gone into adapting the ancient epic while keeping it relevant for modern sensibilities. From the emotional weight of the characters to the epic scale of the battles, the makers aim to strike a balance that satisfies both purists and a younger, global audience unfamiliar with the source material.

The decision to present the film in two parts is a calculated move, allowing ample space for character development and faithful storytelling. With the first part releasing during Diwali 2026 and the second during Diwali 2027, the festival backdrop offers an ideal window for a film of such spiritual and cultural significance.

While the private screening has drawn high praise, the real test for the project will be how audiences react once the teaser is released to the public in the coming days. With comparisons already being drawn to Hollywood-level productions such as The Lord of the Rings or Dune, the pressure is immense. The visual effects, costumes, and portrayal of divine beings will all be under intense scrutiny as fans hope the film stays true to the epic’s spiritual and emotional depth.

Given the massive budget and all-star creative lineup, the Ramayana is not just another movie it’s an attempt to redefine how Indian mythology can be portrayed on screen. If successful, it could open the door to more such epics and create a legacy that extends beyond box office numbers into the realm of cultural preservation through cinema. The countdown now begins for the public release of the Ramayana teaser. With emotions running high, expectations soaring, and a nation eager to revisit one of its most beloved stories in a new avatar, the coming months promise to be crucial in shaping the destiny of this cinematic juggernaut.
