Mumbai, July 11 - The horror films have been doing really well at the Indian box office for the last few years, and the latest to join the list is Evil Dead Burn. The sixth instalment in the Evil Dead film series has registered a solid start at the box office, emerging as the biggest Hollywood horror opener of 2026. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The latest instalment in the iconic franchise has comfortably outperformed this year's surprise horror blockbuster Obsession, underlining the strong appetite for the genre among Indian moviegoers. The film has grossed approximately 4 crore on its opening day in India (including paid previews), nearly double the 2.10 crore debut of Obsession. Evil Dead Burn has also comfortably surpassed the previous franchise instalment, Evil Dead Rise (2023), which opened to around 2.25 crore gross before going on to collect over 37 crore gross during its lifetime run in India. The impressive debut makes Evil Dead Burn the biggest opening for a horror film in India this year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The horror genre has been enjoying a remarkable run at the Indian box office over the last few years, with audiences consistently turning up for well-made supernatural thrillers. The success of films like Obsession, The Conjuring, and Evil Dead Rise has helped expand the audience for horror releases, and Evil Dead Burn has continued that momentum with an even stronger opening. With positive word of mouth (8.2 rating on BMS) and the weekend still ahead, Evil Dead Burn is expected to witness healthy growth over Saturday and Sunday. If it maintains its momentum, the film has every chance of surpassing Evil Dead Rise's lifetime haul in India and ending its theatrical run as one of the biggest Hollywood horror hits of the year.

Dhamaal 4 released in theatres yesterday, July 10, 2026, and has instantly struck a chord with the family audience. On its opening day, the film recorded a solid performance, collecting a net of ₹14 Cr across 10,669 tracked shows in India. This brings the total India gross collections to ₹16.80 Cr.

The film brings back the beloved trio of Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, and Arshad Warsi, while adding fresh energy with Ravi Kishan, Sanjeeda Shaikh, and Esha Gupta.

Mumbai, July 11 - Ajay Devgn has added another notable opening-day performer to his illustrious career with Dhamaal 4. The Indra Kumar-directed comedy opened to an estimated 14 crore net at the Indian box office, giving the actor yet another double-digit opener and securing a place among his top 10 biggest opening-day earners. The opening is a healthy result for a comedy franchise, especially without the benefit of a major holiday. Decent advance bookings, franchise value, and positive response from family audiences helped the film register a solid first-day total. The real test now lies in how well it capitalises on Saturday and Sunday, with trade expecting a significant jump if word of mouth remains favourable. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With its Day 1 collection, Dhamaal 4 has comfortably entered Ajay Devgn's list of biggest openers. The actor's top opening-day performers continue to be led by Singham Again, Drishyam 2, Shaitaan, Total Dhamaal, and Golmaal Again, highlighting his consistent box-office pull across the action, thriller, and comedy genres. The encouraging start also reinforces the enduring popularity of the Dhamaal franchise. If the film records the expected weekend growth, it could emerge as one of Ajay Devgn's strongest comedy successes in recent years and provide another much-needed hit for Bollywood's theatrical business in 2026.

Hyderabad, July 11 - Telugu and Tamil cinema are gearing up for an exciting showdown, with two ambitious films based on Lord Murugan currently in development. While Indian cinema has produced several epics over the years, it is rare for two major industries to simultaneously back large-scale films inspired by the same Hindu deity. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the Telugu front, filmmaker Trivikram Srinivas is developing a magnum opus on Lord Murugan with Jr NTR in the lead. The project has generated significant buzz since its announcement, with the makers reportedly planning a grand visual spectacle that combines history, emotion, and cutting-edge visual effects. The film is expected to begin production after Jr NTR wraps up his ongoing commitments. Tamil cinema, meanwhile, has announced Thamizh Murugan, starring Dhanush in the lead role. The ambitious project will be directed by acclaimed filmmaker Vetrimaaran and is expected to present a distinct cinematic interpretation of Lord Murugan. The announcement has already created considerable excitement, given the combination of Dhanush and Vetrimaaran, who have previously delivered acclaimed films together. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With both projects still in the early stages and release dates yet to be announced, the parallel development of these two films has become a major talking point among fans. If the films arrive within a similar timeframe, audiences could witness an intriguing comparison between Telugu and Tamil cinema's unique storytelling styles and their respective visions of one of Hinduism's most revered deities. About Lord Murugan Lord Murugan, also known as Kartikeya, Skanda, Subrahmanya, Shanmukha, and Kumara, is one of the most revered deities in Hinduism. He is especially worshipped in South India, particularly in Tamil Nadu, as the God of War, Courage, Victory, and Wisdom. Lord Murugan is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and the younger brother of Lord Ganesha. He is believed to have been born to defeat the powerful demon Tarakasura, who could only be slain by Shiva's son.

The bilingual romantic drama, Love Oh Love, has completed its first day at the box office with a modest opening. Released in both Tamil and Telugu, the film managed to collect a net of ₹ 0.15 crore in India on its opening Friday. With a total of 530 shows across the country, the India gross collection stood at ₹ 0.17 crore. As there were no significant collections reported from overseas markets, the worldwide gross total remains at ₹ 0.17 crore for the first day. If we look at the language-wise performance, the Tamil version led the collections, contributing ₹ 0.10 crore to the net total. It saw a 15.0 per cent occupancy across 319 shows. The Telugu version added the remaining ₹ 0.05 crore, recording a 14.0 per cent occupancy from 211 shows. While these numbers are on the lower side, the film is primarily targeting a niche audience that enjoys slow-paced romantic narratives. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In terms of ticket volume, early estimates from BookMyShow suggest that Love Oh Love sold between 11,000 and 13,000 tickets nationally on its opening day. This includes both pre-sales and walk-in bookings. The interest levels remained somewhat low throughout the day, which was reflected in the overall occupancy for the Tamil 2D version, which averaged 7.70 per cent. Analyzing the occupancy trends by time of day, the film saw its highest traction during the night shows, which peaked at 9.46 per cent. It had a decent morning start at 7.38 per cent, but experienced a dip during the afternoon and evening hours, falling as low as 2.77 per cent in the evening. This pattern suggests that the film is currently attracting late-night moviegoers rather than daytime family or student crowds. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The performance in the national chains, including PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, was limited to 80 shows across 58 venues. In these chains, the film sold a total of approximately 1.2k tickets, resulting in a gross collection of around ₹ 1.7 lakh at an occupancy of 9.4 per cent. PVR was the primary contributor among the chains, selling nearly 0.8k tickets and grossing about ₹ 1.1 lakh from 37 shows. INOX followed with approximately 0.2k tickets and a gross of around ₹ 0.3 lakh across 21 shows, while Cinepolis added another 0.2k tickets, earning nearly ₹ 0.3 lakh from 22 shows. PVR recorded the highest occupancy among the three at a notable 14.6 per cent. Regionally, Chennai was the strongest market for the film. Across 78 shows in the city, the overall occupancy stood at 19.3 per cent. The city shows started strong with 23 per cent occupancy in the morning and concluded with 22 per cent for the night shows. Coimbatore also showed some promise with a 12.0 per cent overall occupancy, peaking at 22 per cent at night. However, other major centers like Bengaluru remained quiet, recording a low overall occupancy of just 3.5 per cent across 32 shows.

The Dhamaal series has seen a steady transformation since the original film released in 2007. What started as a light-hearted road comedy focused on a treasure hunt has now grown into one of Bollywood’s most reliable comedy brands. Each sequel has attempted to scale up the stakes, moving from simple chases to the large-scale spectacle seen in Total Dhamaal. With Dhamaal 4, the narrative takes a new direction by incorporating sea pirates and supernatural themes into the mix. By bringing back core cast members like Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, and Arshad Warsi, the makers are sticking to the established chemistry that fans expect, while trying to give the franchise a fresh look for its latest theatrical run. Dhamaal 4 has concluded its first day with a net collection of ₹ 14 crore in India. Running across 10,669 shows, the film reached an India gross of ₹ 16.80 crore. When we look at the international market, early estimates suggest a gross of ₹ 5.00 crore, bringing the total worldwide opening day gross collection to ₹ 21.80 crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A notable aspect of this release is the 4DX format, making Dhamaal 4 the first movie in 2026 to receive a 4DX theatrical release. While this immersive format is rare for Indian cinema, it has been used for major titles in the past like Pathaan, Jawan, Tiger 3, and more recently for Kalki 2898 AD, Pushpa 2: The Rule, Thamma, and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The response for Dhamaal 4 has been quite encouraging, with an overall occupancy of 42.30 per cent for 4DX shows, which is significantly higher than the standard format. In Mumbai, the 4DX occupancy was as high as 50 per cent, while National Capital Region shows stood at 40.8 per cent. The night shows in this format reached 46.69 per cent, showing that a section of the audience is seeking a premium theatrical experience. If we analyze the performance of the franchise, this fourth installment has shown growth over the earlier parts but missed the high bar set by the previous film. The original Dhamaal opened with ₹ 2.38 crore in 2007, and Double Dhamaal grew to ₹ 7.6 crore in 2011. While Total Dhamaal had set a franchise record with ₹ 16.5 crore, Dhamaal 4 fell slightly short of that mark. However, with the current trend, a positive response from the audience could drive a significant weekend surge. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the list of major openers for the year 2026, Dhamaal 4 has secured a spot in the top five. It currently ranks as the fourth-highest opener of the year so far, just ahead of Cocktail 2. You can see how the top performers compare in the following table: Top 5 Movie Openers of 2026 - India Net CollectionMOVIE NAMEINDIA NET COLLECTIONDhurandhar 2: The Revenge₹ 99.10 CrBorder 2₹ 30.00 CrWelcome To The Jungle₹ 15.25 CrDhamaal 4₹ 14 CrCocktail 2₹ 13.50 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at ticket sales on BookMyShow, the movie sold 270,190 tickets on its opening Friday. Combined with pre-sales of 92,810 tickets, the total count on the platform stands at 363,000 tickets. Interestingly, the film narrowly missed a spot in the top 10 ticket sellers of the 2025-26 cycle, landing at the 12th position. It was only about 1,000 tickets behind Sikandar and 8,000 tickets behind Raid 2. This suggests that while it is attracting a large crowd, it is operating in a very competitive environment. The national chains, which include PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, contributed a total of roughly 45,000 tickets for the opening day. This amounted to a gross of ₹ 1.65 crore. PVR led the chains with approximately 23.4k tickets and a gross of ₹ 92 lakh at an occupancy of 7.71 per cent. INOX followed with about 15.4k tickets, earning ₹ 53 lakh with 5.45 per cent occupancy. Cinepolis recorded nearly 6.2k tickets, collecting around ₹ 21 lakh with a 3.90 per cent occupancy rate. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The overall occupancy for the standard Hindi 2D version was 24.54 per cent for the day. The film saw a clear upward trend as the day progressed. It started with 8.38 per cent in the morning and grew to 19.15 per cent in the afternoon. By the evening, occupancy reached 24.85 per cent, finally peaking at 42.00 per cent for the night shows. This pattern indicates that families and office-goers are opting for late shows, which is a good sign for Saturday and Sunday growth. Regionally, Mumbai and the National Capital Region were the strongest performers for the 2D version. Mumbai recorded 24 per cent occupancy across 820 shows, with night shows hitting 43 per cent. NCR followed closely with 22.8 per cent occupancy across 969 shows, peaking at 37 per cent at night. Other regions like Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad also maintained steady levels around 22 to 23 per cent. Cities like Surat and Kolkata were on the lower side, staying under 15 per cent overall. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) For those opting for the 4DX experience, the occupancy levels were notably higher than the standard format, with an overall average of 42.30 per cent. This premium version saw a slow start in the morning at 6.08 per cent, but it gained significant traction as the day progressed. By the afternoon, occupancy rose to 17.23 per cent, and while there was a slight dip in the evening to 11.15 per cent, the night shows recorded a very strong 46.69 per cent. In terms of regions, Mumbai saw the highest demand for 4DX with a 50 per cent overall occupancy across its 5 shows, peaking at 51 per cent in the evening. The National Capital Region, which had a larger volume of 15 shows, maintained a steady 40.8 per cent occupancy, starting particularly well in the morning at 44 per cent. Bengaluru recorded an overall occupancy of 28.7 per cent for its 11 shows, though its night shows stood out with a high of 54 per cent. These numbers suggest that while the show count for 4DX is limited, the audience interest for this specific immersive experience is quite high compared to regular screenings. While the opening numbers are stable, the film's long-term success will depend on how it holds up over the weekend. The fact that it is a clean family entertainer and is available in multiple formats like 4DX should help in sustaining the momentum if the word of mouth remains positive.

If you have a soft spot for the feel-good romances of 90s Tamil cinema, Idhayam Murali is a film designed specifically for that sentiment. Directed by Aakash Baskaran, the movie attempts to rekindle the old magic and nostalgia of that era, often drawing comparisons to the early romantic style of Karan Johar Films. It is a coming-of-age drama that follows a man who finds it impossible to express his love to women at various stages of his life, eventually documenting his journey to finding true love. On its opening day, the film has managed to find its audience, particularly in the urban centers of Tamil Nadu. Idhayam Murali collected a net of ₹ 1.90 crore across 1,283 shows in India. This resulted in a total India gross collection of ₹ 2.19 crore for the first day. The performance suggests that the film is catering well to the target audience that seeks emotional, character-driven narratives over high-octane action. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the state-wise gross distribution, Tamil Nadu was the primary driver of business, contributing ₹ 1.95 crore. In the neighboring states, Karnataka recorded a gross of ₹ 15 lakh, while Kerala contributed ₹ 7 lakh. The rest of India and the APTG (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana) regions together added approximately ₹ 2 lakh to the final tally. These numbers indicate that while the film has a very strong regional focus, it is starting to gain some traction in neighboring southern markets. With this opening, the film has officially secured a spot in the top 10 Tamil openers of 2026 so far. It currently ranks at the ninth position, ahead of Vaa Vaathiyaare but trailing behind Mankatha and Youth.

The film recorded an overall occupancy of 32.38 per cent for the Tamil 2D version. It started with a quiet morning at 18.54 per cent, but moved up to 29.38 per cent by the afternoon. The evening shows maintained a similar level at 28.23 per cent, but the night shows witnessed a massive jump, reaching 45.15 per cent. This indicates that the movie is gaining strength through positive word-of-mouth as the day progresses. In the urban circuits, Chennai was the clear standout. The city recorded an overall occupancy of 44.3 per cent across 286 shows, with the night shows reaching an elite level of 65 per cent. Coimbatore also showed strong interest with 32.3 per cent overall occupancy, peaking at 48 per cent at night. Bengaluru saw a more modest overall occupancy of 20.5 per cent, but even there, the night shows climbed to 32 per cent. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the national chains (PIC), the film delivered a very steady performance. It sold approximately 15.7k tickets, resulting in a gross of roughly ₹ 26 lakh at a high occupancy rate of 28.2 per cent. PVR led the chains with nearly 10.8k tickets and a gross of ₹ 18 lakh. INOX followed with about 3.9k tickets earning ₹ 6 lakh, while Cinepolis contributed nearly 1k tickets with a gross of around ₹ 1.8 lakh. The occupancy in PVR was particularly impressive, hovering around 34 per cent. As we enter the second day, Saturday, the momentum seems to be building further. The film is officially trending on BookMyShow, with 5.08k tickets booked in the last hour alone. In a rolling 24-hour cycle, the movie has already crossed 18.25k tickets booked nationally. Chennai remains the heart of this growth, where it recently clocked a peak velocity of 6.04k tickets booked in a single hour. Other centers like Mayiladuthurai are also providing solid support, tracking steady volumes with 3.74k tickets in the last hour. With a very strong BMS rating of 9.1/10 from over 2,000 votes, the film is well-positioned for a significant weekend jump.

The third Friday has proven to be a challenging day for Welcome To The Jungle, as the film faced a significant reduction in its theatrical footprint to accommodate the release of Dhamaal 4. On its 15th day, the comedy entertainer collected a net of ₹ 1.00 crore in India. This represents a 53.5 per cent drop from the ₹ 2.15 crore it managed on the previous day. This sharp decline is directly linked to a massive screen crunch; while the movie was running on 6,092 shows this Thursday, that number was cut down to 3,769 shows on Friday, effectively losing nearly half of its screens in a single day. Currently, the total India net collection for Welcome To The Jungle stands at ₹ 126.05 crore, with the India gross reaching ₹ 149.80 crore. On the international front, the film added ₹ 0.25 crore on Friday, bringing its total overseas gross to ₹ 31.70 crore. When we look at the global picture, the total worldwide gross collection has now reached ₹ 181.50 crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The impact of new competition is very clear when we examine the performance in national chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis. On Thursday, the film was holding steady in these chains with around 12,000 tickets sold, generating a gross of approximately ₹ 26 lakh. However, by Friday, those numbers saw a steep fall. Across the three major chains, the film sold only about 2,900 tickets, bringing in a gross of ₹ 9 lakh. PVR contributed nearly 1.4k tickets with a gross of ₹ 4.5 lakh, followed by INOX with 1.3k tickets and ₹ 3 lakh gross. Cinepolis saw a much smaller contribution of nearly 0.3k tickets, amounting to around ₹ 70,000 in gross collections. On BookMyShow, the shift in audience interest was also evident. The film had sold about 27,640 tickets on its second Thursday, but that figure dropped to 13,940 tickets on the third Friday. The total lifetime tickets sold on the platform have now reached 2,235,000. Much like Alia Bhatt's Alpha, Welcome To The Jungle stopped trending on the BookMyShow charts on Saturday due to the Dhamaal 4 surge. However, in a surprising turn, the film has started to trend again, particularly during the 11 AM to 12 PM window, suggesting some level of recovery or interest from the weekend crowd. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The overall occupancy for the Hindi 2D version stood at 12.92 per cent on Friday. The film started the day with 8.77 per cent occupancy in the morning shows and saw a very minor increase to 9.38 per cent in the afternoon. Evening shows remained steady at 10.23 per cent, but there was a notable jump in the night shows, which reached 17.77 per cent. This indicates that while daytime shows are struggling due to the competition, there is still a dedicated audience opting for the late-night screenings. Regional data shows some interesting variations, particularly in Bengaluru. While most cities were quiet, Bengaluru recorded an impressive overall occupancy of 27.5 per cent, fueled by a massive 47 per cent occupancy during the morning shows. In contrast, the National Capital Region (NCR) saw a modest 10 per cent occupancy across 616 shows, with night shows peaking at 14 per cent. Mumbai, with 402 shows, managed an overall 12 per cent occupancy, where night shows were the most active at 17 per cent. Lucknow performed relatively well with 11.8 per cent overall occupancy, while cities like Ahmedabad and Pune stayed under the 10 per cent mark. Surat remained the weakest performing major circuit with an occupancy of just 3.5 per cent. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the 50 per cent reduction in screens has limited its potential for a massive third week, Welcome To The Jungle is still finding pockets of audience, especially in the south. The coming two days will be crucial to see if the renewed trending status translates into a weekend jump that can help the film push further toward the ₹ 200 crore worldwide mark.

Alia Bhatt's Alpha has entered its second week of theatrical run, but the arrival of new releases has significantly impacted its momentum. On its eighth day, which was the second Friday, the film collected a net of ₹ 1.65 crore in India. This figure represents a 34.0 per cent drop compared to the previous day's collection of ₹ 2.50 crore. This decline is largely attributed to a sharp reduction in screen count, as a major portion of its shows were reassigned to the new comedy entertainer, Dhamaal 4. The total performance over eight days now brings the India net collection to ₹ 49.10 crore, with the India gross reaching ₹ 58.51 crore. In the international circuit, Alpha managed to add ₹ 1.00 crore on its eighth day. This takes the total overseas gross to ₹ 23.55 crore. When we combine the domestic and international numbers, the worldwide gross collection for the film now stands at ₹ 82.06 crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The impact of new competition is most visible in the national chains, including PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis. Just 24 hours ago, on its seventh day, Alpha was the top-performing movie across these chains with roughly 12,000 tickets sold in advance. However, on Friday, it was displaced by several new titles. Across the three major chains, Alpha sold approximately 4,670 tickets for the day, generating a gross of around ₹ 14.88 lakh. PVR led these contributions with nearly 2.4k tickets and a gross of ₹ 8.6 lakh at 2.70 per cent occupancy. INOX followed with about 1.7k tickets and ₹ 4.9 lakh gross, while Cinepolis contributed nearly 0.5k tickets with a gross of around ₹ 1.5 lakh. On BookMyShow, the ticket sales trend also reflected this downward shift. On Thursday, the film had sold about 33,180 tickets, but this number dropped to 22,750 tickets on the second Friday. The cumulative ticket sales on the platform have now reached 858,290. While the film had been a steady topper on the trending charts, it has now largely stopped trending as the spotlight has moved toward Dhamaal 4 and Lenin. This shift in audience attention was particularly evident as the film’s show count was reduced to 4,831 shows across India on Friday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In terms of theater occupancy, the film recorded an overall average of 12.89 per cent for the Hindi 2D version. The day started with a quiet morning at 5.85 per cent occupancy, which improved slightly to 10.15 per cent in the afternoon. The evening shows saw a further rise to 14.23 per cent, and the day concluded with its highest occupancy of 18.38 per cent during the night shows. This night-time peak suggests that there is still some lingering interest among urban audiences, even with fewer shows available. Looking at the major regions, Mumbai and the National Capital Region (NCR) remained the primary contributors, though both saw muted occupancy levels. Mumbai had 529 shows and an overall occupancy of 12.3 per cent, with night shows reaching 19 per cent. NCR operated with 724 shows and an overall occupancy of 11.3 per cent, peaking at 15 per cent at night. Other cities like Ahmedabad and Bengaluru recorded overall occupancies of 8.8 per cent and 11.0 per cent respectively. Surat remained on the lower end with just 6 per cent overall occupancy. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As the film moves into its second weekend, its ability to cross the ₹ 50 crore net mark in India seems likely, but the growth will be limited by its reduced footprint. The significant drop on the second Friday indicates that the movie is now entering a stage of its run where it will rely mostly on evening and night shows in major cities to sustain itself through the heavy competition.

As we previously reported during the early production stages of this magnum opus, the scale of Nitesh Tiwari's adaptation of the Ramayana has been a subject of intense discussion within the film industry. The project has now reached a significant milestone with the official announcement of its trailer premiere. The makers have confirmed that the first look at this cinematic epic will be unveiled to the world on July 24, 2026. The San Diego Comic-Con Premiere marks a strategic shift in how the film is being positioned globally. The producers, Prime Focus Studios, officially shifted from a domestic-only rollout to a massive international platform. The trailer will debut at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 on July 23, which translates to July 24 IST, in the prestigious Ballroom 20. Producer Namit Malhotra, director Nitesh Tiwari, and the main cast will present the panel, making it one of the most high-profile international debuts for an Indian film to date. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This decision to launch at SDCC underlines the ambition of the makers to present the Ramayana not just as a regional film, but as a global civilizational epic. The project features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana. Reports suggest that the cast has undergone extensive preparation to do justice to these iconic roles, with Ranbir Kapoor reportedly spending months on physical and dialect training to capture the essence of his character. Technically, the film is aiming for a standard that competes with international big-budget franchises. The visual effects are being handled by DNEG, a studio with multiple Academy Awards to its name. Perhaps the most intriguing collaboration is on the musical front, where Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman are teaming up to create the score. This fusion of Western orchestral expertise and Indian soul is intended to give the film a unique auditory identity that resonates across borders. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The choice of Ballroom 20 at Comic-Con is a calculated move. Historically, this venue has hosted the biggest television and film reveals from major Hollywood studios. By securing this space, Prime Focus Studios is ensuring that the first visual representation of their ₹ 800 crore plus investment reaches the core global audience of fantasy and epic enthusiasts. It signals a move towards a worldwide distribution strategy similar to major superhero or adventure film releases. From Bharat to the world, the Ramayana trailer premieres worldwide on 24th July, 2026. 🏹 pic.twitter.com/rphSFR99OE— The World Of Ramayana (@WorldOfRamayana) July 11, 2026 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Following the international debut, the trailer is expected to be screened across thousands of theaters in India in multiple languages, including 3D and IMAX formats. The film is currently scheduled for a grand release during Diwali 2026. This trailer launch will serve as the first real test of the visual and emotional depth Nitesh Tiwari has brought to this ancient story, and it remains one of the most anticipated events in the 2026 film calendar.
