The Story in Brief
The English trailer of Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana' has revealed that the commanding voice behind Yash's Ravana belongs to actor Mohan Kapur. Kapur, known for playing Yusuf Khan in Marvel's 'Ms. Marvel' and 'The Marvels', lends his baritone to the mythological antagonist in the English-dubbed version. Viewers initially thought Yash himself had delivered the lines.
Sony Pictures, the international distributor, released the English-lip-synced trailer and confirmed the film's release date. 'Ramayana: Part I' will hit theatres worldwide on November 6, 2026, just ahead of Diwali. The makers plan a staggering 50,000-screen global rollout. The English version reportedly uses Brahma AI for digital lip-syncing. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana.
The Indian Opinion
The hype around 'Ramayana' is already building on two shaky legs: the novelty of a dubbed English trailer and a record screen count. Both are marketing metrics, not storytelling. Indian audiences have seen grand scale fail to match the epic's spiritual weight. The real test will be whether the film earns its place in the hearts of viewers who grew up with Ramleela and Tulsidas, not just those dazzled by AI lip-sync. Opening weekend numbers will not settle that; word of mouth after Diwali will.
