Ramayan screening likely at Rashtrapati Bhavan on 5 November
Filmmakers are planning a special screening of ‘Ramayan: Part 1’ at Delhi’s Rashtrapati Bhavan on 5 November, the day of its worldwide release, according to Mid-Day reports cited by bhaskar.com and aajtak.in. Permission for the event is being sought. The screening would be for political leaders and may be attended by lead actors Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash along with director Nitesh Tiwari.
Two premieres are also being planned, one at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai and another in Delhi. The film, with a reported budget of around Rs 4,000 crore for both parts, releases its first part on 5 November 2026. Part 2 is scheduled for Diwali 2027. No official confirmation has been issued by the makers.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both bhaskar.com and aajtak.in rely on the same Mid-Day report, resulting in uniform coverage that reports the planned Rashtrapati Bhavan screening as an unconfirmed proposal. Neither outlet introduces independent sourcing or critical commentary. The balanced reading is that the story is a straight news item about a speculative event. The next concrete point is the film’s release on 5 November 2026, by which the screening plan may either be confirmed or dropped.
Both outlets also separately report an income-tax raid on producer Namit Malhotra’s company, but that is a different story and does not affect this coverage.
