The Ramayana trailer just cleared its first real hurdle, and the details are bigger than most expected.
The Ramayana trailer runtime is 4 minutes 15 seconds and officially cleared CBFC with a U certificate. Here’s what we know.
The Central Board of Film Certification passed the trailer on July 15 with a U certificate, and its runtime is a substantial 4 minutes and 15 seconds.
Ramayana Trailer Runtime: Why The Length Is The Real Story
With the film’s release still more than three months away, the natural assumption was a short, teaser-style promo running under 3 minutes.
Instead, the CBFC listing shows something far more substantial. Two separate entries actually appear on the CBFC website: one titled “Trailer – Ramayana 3D” running 4 minutes and 15 seconds, and another titled “Theatrical Trailer – Ramayana 3D” running exactly 4 minutes.
Which version releases digitally is still unclear, but either way, this is shaping up to be a full-scale trailer rather than a quick teaser.
The Third Asset In A Deliberate Rollout
This trailer will be the third promotional asset released for the film. The first, an introduction piece, dropped last year on July 3.
Earlier this year, on Hanuman Jayanti, the makers released a teaser called “Rama,” focused entirely on Ranbir Kapoor’s transformation into the character.
That asset ran 2 minutes and 38 seconds and also cleared CBFC with a U certificate.
The pattern points to a carefully staged campaign, with each asset building scale and detail ahead of the trailer.
The Film Itself
Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. Nitesh Tiwari, of Dangal fame, directs, with Namit Malhotra producing and a score composed jointly by A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer.
It’s structured as a two-part saga, with Part 1 releasing this Diwali 2026 and Part 2 following on Diwali 2027.
What This Confirms
A U certificate means the trailer is cleared for universal audiences with no cuts, which matters for a mythological epic that needs to work for family viewing across age groups.

With the CBFC clearance now official, the only thing left is the actual release, and given how much anticipation has built around this project, expect the moment it drops to dominate conversation instantly.
