Advance bookings for Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana have opened in select North American venues, starting with a premiere on October twenty‑sixth, 2026. The first show, scheduled for three‑p.m. Central Time, marks the film’s entry into the U.S. market a month before its Diwali‑aligned release. Fans of the epic adaptation can secure seats early, with major chains such as Marcus Orland Park Cinema and Hollywood Blvd Cinema reporting high demand. The move positions Ramayana as a potential record‑setter for Indian cinema worldwide, following its projected release on November fifth, 2026, and a wide theatrical launch on November eighth, 2026.
