# Ramayana trailer launch: Ranbir Kapoor melts Bengaluru with Kannada speech 2026-10-16T04:27:02+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets The makers of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1 launched the film’s international trailer in Bengaluru on 15 October, attended by Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi, Ravi Dubey and others. Ranbir won the crowd with a Kannada greeting and a promise to ‘learn more’ from Yash. Yash defended Sai Pallavi’s casting as Sita, citing her acting ability and simplicity. The nearly two-and-a-half-minute trailer shows the cosmic conflict between Ranbir’s Rama and Yash’s Ravana, with Kunal Kapoor as Indra. Produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios with Sony Pictures handling international distribution, the first part releases worldwide on 5 November 2026 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, including IMAX. The second part is planned for Diwali 2027. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three outlets report the facts of the Bengaluru trailer launch and the November 5 release date, but they frame the event differently. OdishaTV leads with a crowd-pleasing moment: Ranbir Kapoor’s Kannada speech and his tribute to Yash, positioning the launch as a personal success for the actor. Mathrubhumi opens on the Sony Pictures partnership and the international campaign, treating the trailer as a commercial rather than a cultural event. Bollywood Hungama foregrounds the trailer’s fantasy scale and the Hans Zimmer-A. R. Rahman score, framing the film as a visual-effects spectacle. The differences are tonal, not factual: one outlet emphasises star charisma, another market strategy, and a third technical ambition. There is no disagreement on any fact. The uniform core is that the two-part Ramayana opens in November across Indian and international markets in multiple languages and IMAX. ## Coverage Coverage: 3 sources, 3 neutral - odishatv.in (neutral report) Leads with star charisma and crowd reaction - mathrubhumi.com (neutral report) Leads with Sony Pictures partnership and global campaign - bollywoodhungama.com (neutral report) Leads with fantasy scale and visual effects This brief was synthesised by AI from the 3 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
