Overview
- Industry reports on Friday said Ramayana is targeting about 59,000 screens worldwide, with roughly 50,000 outside India and about 9,000 in India, and the figures remain unconfirmed by the makers.
- Reports name Sony Pictures as the film’s international distributor, signaling an effort to use a major studio’s network to reach mainstream global markets.
- The production will use DNEG’s Brahma AI for lip‑synchronised dubbing into nearly 50 languages to make foreign‑language versions match actors’ on‑screen lip movements.
- Ramayana: Part 1 is scheduled for release on November 6, 2026 during Diwali and the two films are reported to have a combined budget of around Rs 4,000 crore, with premium IMAX screenings planned.
- If the reported screen counts hold, the rollout would exceed the global openings of recent Indian blockbusters and some Hollywood tentpoles, but box‑office success outside diaspora markets is uncertain and will depend on local audience uptake and marketing.
