Indian epic Ramayana has set its global release date. The movie is releasing in theatres a day prior to domestic launch in India. This strategic move was made to give the film a head start against the major box office competition from the monster movie Godzilla Minus Zero.

When is Ramayana releasing globally?

As per the latest post on Sony Pictures Australia, Ramayana will now arrive in Australian cinemas on November 5, 2026. On the other hand, Godzilla Minus Zero is releasing in theatres on November 6, 2026.

Both feature heavy-vfx spectacles vying intensely for limited IMAX and premium large-format screens overseas and in shared territories. Ramayana's strategic decision to release international shows early directly aims to capture IMAX and PLF screens before Godzilla Minus Zero takes over.
