India’s much-discussed film Ramayana: Rise of a Legend has been screening in cinemas across Saudi Arabia since November 5, 2026. Notably, the film’s screening has also been reported in the holy city of Madinah (Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah). In addition, reports indicate that the film is being screened in cinemas in Jeddah, Abha, Jazan and Khobar.

The screening of the Indian epic Ramayana in Saudi Arabian cinemas is a notable reflection of the country’s changing cultural landscape. It is a commendable step towards bringing India’s ancient civilisation, art and cultural heritage to the global stage. Art and culture transcend borders and bring people closer together.
