Ramayana at CinemaCon 2026: The ₹4,000 Crore Global Gamble [Industry Analysis]
Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1 isn't just going to Las Vegas for the photo ops; this closed-door showcase at CinemaCon 2026 is a calculated damage-control operation and a massive global power play rolled into one.

What Actually Happened Producer Namit Malhotra and Yash (Ravana) are currently at Caesa

Ramayana's Marketing Has a Namit Malhotra Problem
The highly anticipated teaser for Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana is finally here, but the marketing is actively selling a visual effects company instead of an epic cinematic event. By positioning DNEG and Namit Malhotra as the face of the franchise, the studio is walking a dangerous tightrope between bold ambition and fatal over-positioning. What Actually Happened When the first look for Ramayana dropped this week, the internet naturally hyper-fixated on Ranbir Kapoor’s Rama and

Culture Curry: The Fallacy of Representation in a Heterogeneous Civilization
The global discourse on "representation" in cinema has become increasingly loud, yet remarkably narrow. As we dissect pop culture through a post-colonial lens, it becomes evident that the modern demand for representation is often a Eurocentric import—a box-ticking exercise born out of Western identity politics that struggles to translate into the complex, kaleidoscopic reality of the Indian subcontinent.

Ramayana April 2 First Look Is a Massive Risk [Box Office Analysis]
Namit Malhotra and Nitesh Tiwari are playing a dangerous game of chicken with a multi-hundred-crore budget. By withholding the faces of Ranbir Kapoor and Yash until the April 2 Hanuman Jayanti reveal, they’ve engineered unprecedented hype—but they have also set an impossibly high, perhaps unachievable, bar for the actual visual assets. What Actually Happened On April 2, 2026, the official character posters and visual montage for Ramayana: Part 1 will finally hit the internet

Okay, stop everything you are doing right now. If you thought the drama in Bigg Boss was wild, wait until you see what’s happening on the streets of Mumbai. Remember how our fave Bebo (Kareena Kapoor Khan) recently sat on a Netflix show and casually claimed the Kapoors never call the paps? Yeah, about that... The internet has receipts, and they are spicy. A new video of Ranbir Kapoor is circulating, and let’s just say, the "math ain't mathing" between what the family says
