Ramayana: Part 1 is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language epic mythological film directed by Nitesh Tiwari, who co-wrote the screenplay with Shridhar Raghavan. Produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, the film is based on the ancient Sanskrit epic Ramayana by Valmiki, which chronicles the life and trials of Prince Rama of Ayodhya. Conceived as the first installment of a planned two-part film series, it features an ensemble cast including Ranbir Kapoor, Ravi Dubey (in his film debut), Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, Yash (in his Hindi film debut), Anupam Kher, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Vivek Oberoi, Kunal Kapoor, Adinath Kothare, Arun Govil, Indira Krishnan and Lara Dutta.
The project was announced in May 2017 as a live-action adaptation of Valmiki's Ramayana, initially conceived as a trilogy by producers. Following several years of development and script refinement, the project was restructured as a two-part film series under Tiwari's sole direction. For the film's score, Hans Zimmer and A. R. Rahman jointly came on board, marking Zimmer's full-fledged debut in the Indian film industry after briefly working on a song for the original soundtrack of Fateh. Filming began in April 2024 at Film City, Mumbai, and continued until July 2025. With an estimated budget of ₹4,000 crore (US$420 million), it is set to be the most expensive Indian film ever made.
Ramayana: Part 1 is scheduled for release worldwide on 6 November 2026.
