Posting a comment on the trailer, @idlebrainjeevi wrote, “Watched the trailer of #Ramayana in 3D at Bharat Mandapam, Delhi, a few days ago. The trailer will be released to the public on July 24. The preview has been revealed, and the color palette and visuals feel very Indian. It looked western and white. The trailer. Ranbir Kapoor is as perfect as Lord Rama, whereas Yash as good as Ravana. Sai Pallavi presents a beautiful and convincing portrayal of Sita. The visuals, music, and VFX are world class.” However, it was the last line, “We can’t wait for this film to hit theaters on November 8,” that raised eyebrows.It is still unclear whether the date mentioned is the actual release date of the film, which is slated to hit the screens worldwide during the Diwali festival. This is also the first sign that the producers are moving forward with the release of November, instead of ‘release at the end of October’ as Yash indicated earlier this year, while promoting the film at Cinema Con.The announcement sets up a top box office tie with Takashi Yamazaki’s ‘Godzilla: Minus Zero’, which is slated to open worldwide on November 6, 2026, just two days before ‘Ramayana’.
‘Ramayana’ to clash with ‘Godzilla: Minus Zero’
If the November release is true, then it puts ‘Ramayana’ alongside another big international movie – ‘Godzilla: Minus Zero’. Directed by Academy Award winner Takashi Yamazaki, the film is set to open worldwide in theaters and IMAX on November 6, 2026. The sequel follows what many are calling ‘Godzilla Minus One’ and is the first Japanese Godzilla film to be shot in IMAX.The film has also been confirmed for a North American release on November 6, ensuring that it will open in major international markets ahead of ‘Ramayana’. Although the two films are of different genres, their release dates will see them competing for the big screens, including IMAX and other large theaters, in several regions.Both the films are among the most anticipated releases of 2026. While ‘Ramayana’ will be the first of two installments, ‘Godzilla’ is said to be the last film in the franchise. The film’s release follows the international success of its predecessor, which became the highest-grossing Japanese film in North America and won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
