The scale around Ramayana is getting sharper by the day, and its latest international update underlines just how massive Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological spectacle is shaping up to be. The film has now cleared the Motion Picture Association in the United States with a PG-13 rating, while international exhibition listings have put its runtime at 3 hours and 15 minutes, placing it firmly in event film territory.
That run time also gives Ramayana a notable Ranbir Kapoor connection. After Animal in 2023, this becomes the second film in his career to cross the three-hour mark, a detail that instantly signals the kind of ambitious canvas the makers are mounting for the big screen.
Latest Update On Ramayana’s Us Rating And Runtime
The film’s US certification adds an important marker ahead of its theatrical rollout. Ramayana has been rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association, a classification broadly comparable to a U/A viewing bracket in India. The rating has been assigned for “sequences of strong violence and action, and some bloody images,” indicating that the adaptation is not toning down the battle-heavy intensity central to the epic.
Its listed international runtime of 3 hours and 15 minutes further reinforces the project’s epic scale. For a film mounted as a global theatrical event, that duration suggests the storytelling is being designed with grandeur rather than compression in mind. With Ramayana currently slated to release on November 6, 2026, the countdown has clearly entered a more concrete phase.
Cast, Director And Film Details
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, Yash as Ravana, and Sai Pallavi as Sita. The ensemble also includes Ravi Dubey, Sunny Deol, Arun Govil, Kajal Aggarwal and Indira Krishnan. The film is being produced by Namit Malhotra, with the title positioned as the first part of a larger cinematic retelling.
The premise centres on the timeless conflict of love, duty and destiny from the Ramayana, setting up the larger battle between Ram and Ravana. With its mythological source material, star-heavy cast and IMAX-backed scale, the film is clearly being mounted as one of Hindi cinema’s biggest theatrical bets of 2026.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Recent And Upcoming Work
For Ranbir Kapoor, Ramayana arrives after a packed recent stretch. His last theatrical releases were Animal in 2023 and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar in 2023. Animal emerged as the biggest commercial success of his career, while Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar marked his return to the romantic comedy space.
Looking ahead, Ramayana is one of Kapoor’s biggest confirmed releases, and he is also attached to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, which pairs him with Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. That line-up places him in a distinctly large-format phase of his career, moving from mainstream romance and violent action drama to mythological spectacle and auteur-driven period drama.
