Prime Focus Group Extends the Reach of Ramayana Through a Landmark Digital Partnership with JioHotstar
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 extends the film’s reach beyond cinemas, giving audiences another chance to experience one of India’s most enduring epics.
Produced by Prime Focus Studios in association with DNEG and Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana brings together the creative, technical and production expertise of the Prime Focus Group. The project reflects the Group’s integrated approach to filmmaking, combining large-scale production, award-winning visual effects and advanced technology to realise an ambitious cinematic vision.
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.
