As a lifelong student and lover of Indian mythology, I must say that the upcoming slate of period dramas based on Hindu legends is nothing short of exhilarating! Growing up, the tales of Lord Vishnu’s avatars were a staple in my household, igniting my imagination and fueling my curiosity.
In a fresh and engaging twist, movies based on ancient Hindu mythology are captivating audiences with an enticing array of upcoming films. With Ranbir Kapoor’s eagerly anticipated portrayal of Ramayana and Vicky Kaushal’s recent announcement about Mahavatar, it seems that the Golden Age (Satyug) is experiencing a remarkable revival in Indian cinema. Let us delve deeper into why we believe this to be true.
In the morning hours, Vicky Kaushal unveiled his forthcoming project with Amar Kaushik, titled Mahavatar. This mythological film is centered around the life of the legendary “immortal warrior of righteousness,” Chiranjeevi Parashurama. Financed by Dinesh Vijan, the movie is set to hit theaters on Christmas 2026.
Recently, the official release dates for director Nitesh Tiwari’s eagerly anticipated Ramayana were disclosed. In a special announcement, it was revealed that the Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi-led production will be split into two parts, with one part scheduled for Diwali 2026 and the other for Diwali 2027.
Previously, viewers had already taken pleasure in Nag Ashwin’s film Kalki 2898 AD, which was released earlier this year. It’s worth mentioning that the Kalki cinematic universe will consist of just 2 parts initially, with a third part focusing on Supreme Yaskin to follow.
The first segment of Kalki 2898 AD concludes with Supreme Yaskin sampling the elixir he longed for and Project K becoming active. In the following section, Sumathi’s crucial role will unfold, while Aswatthama is left stunned by Bhairava’s astounding disclosure.
Previously during a live chat on Instagram, director Nag Ashwin disclosed that the second part of the movie is expected to take three years to finish. As such, it seems likely that we might see this sequel hit theaters in 2026.
Returning to our original topic, let me clarify that the movies we’ve discussed are all inspired by various forms of Lord Vishnu, for those unfamiliar. For example, Parashurama is believed to be the 6th avatar, Lord Rama the 7th, Lord Krishna and Kalki from the year 2898 AD are considered the 8th and 10th respectively. These movies are planned for release on the big screen around the years 2026-27.
Isn’t it quite fascinating? Which of these films are you excited about the most?
