The Story in Brief
Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana', starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, will release in China this November under the title 'Ramayana: The Legend of the Prince'. The Times of India reports that Sony Pictures, handling international distribution, shared the Chinese title on Weibo and is linking the film to Tiwari's 'Dangal', which earned Rs 1,200-1,300 crore in China after its 2017 release there.
The film's first part is set for international release on November 6 and in India on November 8, Diwali. The second part is scheduled for Diwali 2027. The Chinese synopsis features a score by Hans Zimmer and describes a battle between Rama and Ravana.
The Indian Opinion
The hype around 'Ramayana' in China banks heavily on 'Dangal's historic success there, but that was a wrestling biopic with universal appeal. An epic rooted in Hindu mythology may not travel as easily across cultural lines. The real test will be opening-weekend numbers in China, not just the title change or Zimmer's score. Can a story of divine exile and demon kings match the crossover pull of a sport drama? Those numbers will give the answer.
