Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana Impresses at CinemaCon, Eyes Global Release

Ranbir Kapoor’s highly anticipated mythological epic, Ramayana, made waves at CinemaCon with an exclusive 20-minute preview that has the industry buzzing. The film, under the direction of acclaimed filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari, is positioning itself as a project of international ambition, reflecting the upward trajectory of both Kapoor and Tiwari in recent years.

Produced by Namit Malhotra and featuring actor-producer Yash, Ramayana was showcased to a select audience in Las Vegas. Early viewers, including YouTuber Mr. Like It Or Not, were captivated by the "massive scale and top-tier VFX" presented in the footage. He described the film as "a true grand epic, and also a spectacular fantasy story," a sentiment that has quickly spread across social media and industry circles.

There is significant chatter regarding the film’s global distribution. While not officially confirmed, it was claimed at the event that Warner Bros. intends to release Ramayana worldwide, targeting over 4,500 screens this November. If true, this would mark a landmark moment for an Indian mythology adaptation, with aspirations even stretching towards Academy Award nominations—especially in the Best International Feature Film category.

Fans and critics alike are now eagerly awaiting official confirmation on the distribution deal and further announcements, with anticipation building for Ramayana's worldwide release later this year.
