Ramayana: Budget Of Ranbir Kapoor, Yash And Sai Pallavi Starrer Becomes Hot Topic Ahead Of Its Release

The upcoming two-part feature film, Ramayana: Part 1, Rise of a Legend, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi, has become a topic of discussion due to its alleged budget of ₹4,000 crores. The film is set to release on November 5 and will be released in 3D, IMAX, 4DX, Screen X, and Dolby cinema formats. Producer and film business expert Girish Johar calls it India's most ambitious release, but he does not comment on the budget.

Trade experts are divided over the budget estimates, with one trade expert stating that the budget for both parts is reportedly ₹1,500 crore. This figure may increase slightly due to unforeseen expenses. The marketing budget for the film is also included in the overall cost, according to producer-distributor-exhibitor N R Pachisia.

He estimated that in the USA, marketing costs would typically be around 80% of the production cost. Film analyst Raj Bansal points out that the actors' fees were negotiated for both parts together.

Experts predict that the film's box office recovery will come from worldwide paid-previews, global ticket sales, and other secondary franchise avenues. The digital and satellite rights for the film have been bought by JioHotstar and the Star Group for ₹450 crores. T-Series has reportedly bought the music rights for both parts for ₹75 crores. The film's VFX, sound, and talent from India and overseas are expected to help it find global patronage and drive worldwide revenue.
