US listings show shorter English version of Ramayana
Ranbir Kapoor’s film Ramayana is planned as a two-part adaptation of the Indian epic.
AMC listings in the United States show two versions of the first instalment, both scheduled for November 5, 2026.
The Hindi version is listed at 3 hours and 15 minutes, while the English-language version, titled Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, is listed at 2 hours and 45 minutes.
That makes the English cut 30 minutes shorter.
Earlier reports linked the difference to songs and an interval in the Hindi version, but the filmmakers have not confirmed this explanation or said whether the story or editing will differ.
The makers have scheduled a worldwide cinema release for November 6, 2026, while AMC’s US listings show November 5.
The filmmakers have not officially confirmed the US runtimes or explained the difference.

The Hindi version is listed at 3 hours and 15 minutes, while the English-language version, titled Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, is listed at 2 hours and 45 minutes.
The listed runtimes make the English cut 30 minutes shorter, but the filmmakers have not confirmed the runtimes or explained the difference.
Earlier reports suggest the Hindi version’s songs and interval may account for some of the difference, though other changes between the versions are unclear.
The film’s first instalment is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on November 6, 2026; a separate report says Indian previews may begin November 4, with an opening on November 5, but that schedule has not been officially confirmed.
