Ramayana: Rise of a Legend will hit North American theaters on November 6. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the Indian epic stars Ranbir Kapoor as the god Rama and Yash as the demon king Ravana.Sony will release a 167-minute version in the domestic market, dubbed into English using generative artificial intelligence. The original cut runs 195 minutes and includes the song-and-dance numbers characteristic of commercial Indian cinema.Based on a sacred Hindu mythological text, the film reportedly cost more than US$ 200 million, which would make it the most expensive Indian film ever produced. The production comes from DNEG, a company specializing in visual effects, and is expected to receive a sequel in the coming years.Early reviews from critics were lukewarm. The film's pacing and visual effects were among the criticisms cited. Ramayana: Rise of a Legend is the second recent adaptation of the epic; the previous one, Adipurush, was released in 2023 and performed poorly with critics and at the box office.The film opens just days before the third season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, a Prime Video series. The proximity of the releases also places the Indian film alongside a major international franchise, although the two are productions in different formats.Indian cinema has expanded its presence at the North American box office. RRR grossed more than US$ 15 million in the market, while Dhurandhar: The Revenge became the highest-grossing Indian film in North America earlier this year, with nearly US$ 30 million.The two films are arriving during a busy week for theaters: Godzilla Minus Zero, from director Takashi Yamazaki, is also scheduled for release in the domestic market and is expected to compete with Ramayana: Rise of a Legend at the box office.With information from Collider.
