How long will the show take?
The 195 minutes covers the film only. Add the interval, ads and trailers before you book a late show or a parking slot. Our rough estimate is about 3 hours 35 minutes to 3 hours 45 minutes from the listed start time, and it varies by cinema.
Is the film too long?
Length is one of the most common complaints in the first reviews. Read what critics say on the Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic page.
Is Ramayana suitable for children?
A U certificate means the CBFC has cleared it for all ages. It does not tell you how intense the battle scenes are, and a film this long is a big ask for young children. We will add detail from Indian reviews after release.
How long is Yash on screen?
About 65 minutes, according to fresh reports. The makers have not confirmed this, so treat it as unverified.
What about the other languages?
The certificate details reported so far are for the Hindi version. We have not found an official runtime for the English version or the other language versions, and will add them if published.
