The production of the Hindi epic film ‘Ramayana’, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, has shifted its release strategy toward a synchronized worldwide release on November 5, 2026. This change from a staggered domestic and overseas schedule aims to capitalize on the Diwali holiday period.

As the 2026 Diwali season approaches, the film is expected to be a major competitor in a crowded box office landscape. In the Tamil film industry, several high-profile titles such as ‘Mookuthi Amman 2’, ‘Appa Kutty’, and ‘Moon Walk’ are also scheduled for release around November 5 and 6.
