Prime Focus Studios Partners with JioHotstar to Bring Ramayana to Wider Audiences

Prime Focus Studios and JioHotstar have partnered to bring ‘Ramayana: Part One’ to audiences across India through a pay-per-view digital release on JioHotstar, following the film’s exclusive theatrical window. The partnership will extend the film’s reach beyond cinemas, making the epic accessible to audiences in their homes.

Produced by Prime Focus Studios in association with DNEG and Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana brings together an exceptional team of filmmakers, artists and craftspeople to bring the epic to the screen on an ambitious scale. The film also features a landmark musical collaboration between Academy Award® winners Hans Zimmer and A. R. Rahman.

Commenting on the partnership, Mrs. Nita M. Ambani, Chairperson, JioStar, said,

“Ramayana is one of India’s greatest civilisational treasures – a story that has shaped our conscience, inspired our imagination, and guided the way we live for centuries. As India enters a new era of storytelling, we have an extraordinary opportunity to carry our cultural legacy forward. At JioHotstar, our vision is to use technology to bring the finest stories within reach of every Indian. It is our privilege to present this grand cinematic vision of Ramayana to families across the country, and introduce a new generation to its eternal values of duty, love, courage, and goodness.”

Speaking about the partnership with JioHotstar, DNEG CEO and Founder and Producer, Namit Malhotra, said:

“I believe Ramayana should be experienced on the biggest screen possible, in IMAX 3D. But our country’s cinema infrastructure cannot reach everyone who holds this epic close. Ramayana belongs to every Indian, and our ambition must reflect that. JioHotstar has time and again shown how technology can bring a nation together through its sports and entertainment offering. That made them a natural partner to take Ramayana into people’s hands and living rooms, after its theatrical run.”

‘Ramayana: Part One’ releases worldwide in cinemas on 5 November 2026, in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and English.
