Who made Ramayana’s new song?

Ramayana: Part 1 released Mangal Rang on October 25, bringing Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal together on a song featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi as Rama and Sita. The new music video is a distinct addition to the film’s promotional rollout ahead of its November 5 theatrical release.

The Indian Express credits AR Rahman with the song’s composition and Kumar Vishwas with its lyrics. The Times of India independently reported the release and the two singers’ involvement. Rahman and Hans Zimmer are associated with the film’s music, while the individual composition credit for Mangal Rang belongs to Rahman.

What does the music video show?

According to The Indian Express, the video begins in Mithila around Sita’s swayamvar, with Rama approaching Shiva’s bow. It moves through the wedding celebrations and the couple’s return to Ayodhya. The focus is their relationship, giving this release a different emphasis from the film’s action and character promotions.

In a statement carried by the newspaper, Rahman described wanting to convey tenderness and devotion through the melody. That is the composer’s account of his intention, rather than a measure of the song’s reception. Mangal Rang follows two previously released tracks, Jai Jai Ram and Ravana Tandav, expanding the music available before the film reaches cinemas.

When is Ramayana due in cinemas?

The Times of India lists November 5 as the scheduled theatrical release date and reports plans for 3D and IMAX 3D screenings. Nitesh Tiwari directs the film, which is backed by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations.

Alongside Kapoor and Pallavi, the ensemble includes Yash, Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey, Rakul Preet Singh and Lara Dutta. Today’s development is the release of the song itself; the previously announced theatrical date remains the timetable cited in the latest reporting.
