Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana: Dual Runtimes for US Release
10 Oct
Summary
- English 'Ramayana' film listed 30 minutes shorter than Hindi version.
- US theatre listings show two different runtimes for the epic.
- Ranbir Kapoor stars as Rama in the two-part film adaptation.
The upcoming film 'Ramayana', starring Ranbir Kapoor and directed by Nitesh Tiwari, is generating buzz with potential runtime differences for its US release. US theatre listings indicate that the English-language version, subtitled 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend', may be 30 minutes shorter than its Hindi counterpart.
The Hindi version is reportedly listed with a runtime of 3 hours and 15 minutes. In contrast, the English cut is shown as 2 hours and 45 minutes, though filmmakers have not officially confirmed these figures or the reasons for the discrepancy.
Speculation suggests the shorter duration for the English version might be due to the exclusion of songs and the interval present in the Hindi version. Starring an ensemble cast including Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, the film is planned as a two-part adaptation. The first installment is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on November 6, 2026.
