Pink Villaa day ago
The internet was left blown away sometime back after witnessing the announcement video of Ramayana. Netizens cannot stop gushing over the first glimpse of Ranbir Kapoor as Ram and Yash as Raavan. But, the one thing that everyone was eagerly waiting for was a word of praise from RK's wife, Alia Bhatt. Well, what you were waiting for is here. The actress has shared the video on her social media page, and it's evident from her caption that she is just as speechless as all of us.
Alia Bhatt Shared Ramayana Video
Taking to her social media handle, Alia Bhatt shared the announcement video. The video has left all of us eagerly waiting for the release of the film. Sharing this video, she wrote, "Some things don't need words. This feels like the start of something unforgettable. Diwali 2026 — we're waiting." Her post has received around 98K likes and some 1K comments. The moment she posted this clip, fans took to the comments section to praise Ranbir Kapoor. In fact, Ravi Dubey, who plays Lakshaman in this magnum opus, too, took to the comments section and posted two folded hands emojis.
About Ramayana Announcement Video
The 3-minute clip does not show the complete face of any actor from the film, but it gives fans a glimpse of Ranbir Kapoor as Rama and Yash as Raavana. A close-up of the Tamasha star's eyes, and then a scene of him running and climbing a tree, only to release an arrow from his bow, touches everyone's hearts. His body language, the close-up of his face below the nose, is enough to get you excited to see his entire look.
Talking about Yash 's first glimpse, with just one of his eyes visible in the frame and the rest covered by a cloth, he has the power to hook us in the moment. That is the magic we are sure Nitesh Tiwari has in store for all of us.
Ramayana Release
The video, as we have already revealed, mentions the film being divided into two parts. Part 1 will be released on Diwali 2026, and Part 2 will arrive on Diwali 2027. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more such updates.

Box Office: Maa hits Rs 26.25 crore in 7 days, Kajol starrer IMPACTED by Jurassic World and Metro In Dino in Week 2

Maa, starring Kajol in the lead role, along with Ronit Roy, Kerin Sharma, Indranil Sengupta, and others, is performing decently at the box office. The movie, directed by Vishal Furia, wrapped its opening week on a reasonable note. However, it will have to show better trends on the second weekend. Maa collects Rs 26.25 crore in the opening week, needs better hold in the second weekend Released on June 27, alongside Brad Pitt's F1 (Formula One) and holdover release Sitaare Zameen Par, the supernatural drama took an encouraging start. After taking an opening of Rs 4.75 crore, it smashed Rs 6 crore on its second day and Rs 6.75 crore on its first Sunday, wrapping the first weekend at Rs 17.50 crore net in India. It further witnessed a significant drop and could add Rs 2.50 crore on its first Monday, followed by Rs 3 crore on Tuesday, that too, because of subsidized ticket prices. It saw another drop on Wednesday and Thursday, when the ticket fares went back to normalcy and added Rs 1.75 crore and Rs 1.50 crore to the tally, respectively. Maa ended its first week at an average figure of Rs 26.25 crore net at the box office. Though it is a reasonable figure for a Kajol starer, a better outcome was expected because of its genre and connection to the Shaitaan universe. Maa to face Dino and Jurassic World Rebirth in week 2 The Kajol starrer should aim for a better hold in its second weekend. However, it will have to face new releases, Dino and Jurassic World Rebirth this weekend, which are expected to severely dent its business. Bankrolled by Devgn Films, the supernatural drama is expected to close its entire theatrical run with a net collection of around Rs 37 crore at the Indian box office.

India's most expensive film made at ₹835 cr, VFX & music by Oscar winners; not Kalki 2898 AD, Brahmastra, Adipurush

The budgets of Indian films are steadily rising, now rivalling those of major Hollywood productions. In fact, it's become quite common for Indian movies to cross the ₹ 100 crore mark. Taking this trend to new heights, one film has emerged as the most expensive ever made in Indian cinema, with a whopping budget of ₹ 835 crore, surpassing even big-ticket films like Kalki 2898 AD, Brahmastra, and Adipurush. The most expensive film in India is Nitesh Tiwari's magnum opus Ramayana Part 1. Ramayana is a two-part epic mythological film. It stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. Sunny Deol will be seen as Hanuman. Lara Dutta, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Vivek Oberoi, Arun Govil are also a part of the film's ensemble cast. Kunal Kapoor, Arun Govil, Sheeba Chadha, and Indira Krishnan are also a part of the film. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama last year, Ramayana is being built on a budget of $100 million (around ₹ 835 crore). The film is still under production. With its over ₹ 800 crore budget, it has outpaced the production costs of big-budget films, including Kalki 2898 AD ( ₹ 600 crore), RRR and Adipurush ( ₹ 550 crore each). Brahmastra Part One which previously held the record as Bollywood's most expensive film at ₹ 375 crore, stands nowhere close to Ramayana's budget. Ramayana Part 1 is backed by Namit Malhotra, owner of the global media giant Prime Focus. He is also the CEO of DNEG, the acclaimed British-Indian VFX powerhouse known for its cutting-edge visual effects, which has of eight Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects. Ramayana's VFX work is helmed by DNEG. Besides this, Ramayana also marks the first collaboration between AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer. Hans, the two-time Oscar award winner for Best Original Score, is best known for films like The Lion King (1994), Dune (2021) and Christopher Nolan's Interstellar (2014). On Thursday, the first look of Ramayana was unveiled by the makers. The film is scheduled to be released on Diwali 2026. It will be followed by part 2.
