A major new Bollywood film set against the 1947 Partition of India has been announced with the title Batwara 1947 — with A.R. Rahman composing the music and Javed Akhtar writing the lyrics. The announcement arrives as Main Vaapas Aaunga — another Partition-era film — opens this Friday, making 2026 the year the Partition became mainstream Bollywood's most explored historical subject.

🔥 The Film India Has Been Waiting For There are ambitious films. There are expensive films. There are culturally important films. And then there is Ramayana — a project that sits at the intersection of all three in a way that no Indian film has ever attempted before. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari. Produced by Namit Malhotra of Prime Focus Studios. Released in two parts — Part 1: Diwali 2026. Part 2: Diwali 2027. Music by Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman — together, for the first time, for an Indian film. Budget that industry insiders estimate comfortably north of ₹1,000 crore across both parts. This is not a Bollywood film. This is an event. 🏹 🎬 Full Film Details 🎬🎬 DirectorNitesh Tiwari✍️ Written byNamit Malhotra & Shridhar Raghavan🏭 Produced byNamit Malhotra — Prime Focus Studios, DNEG, Monster Mind Creations🎵 MusicHans Zimmer & A.R.
