Ramayana, tells the story of Rama, a prince bound by sacrifice; Ravana, an immortal king driven by vengeance; and the prophecy that binds their fates together.

Nitesh Tiwari, Director of Ramayana – the 2 part film franchise says, “Ramayana’s greatness lies in its emotional richness. At its heart, it is not just about good and evil, but about choices, consequences, and the weight of doing what is right.

Check out the trailer for did we say EPIC yet Ramayana: Rise of a Legend
Mind-blowing, incredible, next level and oh we can’t wwit to see this play out on the big screen!
The Ramayana’s most defining moment, Rama’s return to Ayodhya after victory, is celebrated as Diwali, symbolising the triumph of light over darkness, and good over evil. Celebrated by billions across the world, Diwali is the continued remembrance of this story and what it stands for.
Since the beginning of time, the Trinity Gods rule the three worlds: Brahma – the god who creates, Vishnu – the god who protects, and Shiva – the god who transforms. As the realms of heaven and earth edge toward chaos, the Trinity god Vishnu descends to earth in an avatar to restore balance. This time, Vishnu is reborn as RAMA (Ranbir Kapoor), a human prince destined to fulfil that purpose. Opposing him, stands the most formidable, learned, undefeatable and immortal demon king RAVANA (Yash), blessed by the Trinity themselves, driven by pride and a vengeance powerful enough to shatter the cosmos.
Unaware of his true purpose as the only one destined to stand up to Ravana in a fateful cosmic design, Rama is the embodiment of Dharma (duty above all), and the most loved crown prince of Ayodhya, the greatest human dynasty of the time. Rama tries to build a life of quiet honor with his beloved wife Sita (Sai Pallavi) and loyal brother Lakshman (Ravie Dubey) amongst others, until a twist of fate drives him into exile and toward an inevitable clash with Ravana in a reckoning so cataclysmic, it will decide the destiny of gods and mortals.
