Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana has opened its musical chapter on Ganesh Chaturthi. On September 14, 2026, the makers unveiled the first Siya Ram poster featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, then released the film’s debut track, “Jai Jai Ram,” composed by A.R. Rahman with lyrics by Dr. Kumar Vishwas and vocals by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal.
The Siya Ram visual landed at 7:30 AM IST. It shows Kapoor’s Ram and Pallavi’s Sita in a quiet forest moment by a river — Ram gently placing a flower in Sita’s hair — a softer beat after the earlier trailer’s scale. The makers framed the drop as an auspicious start: every beginning begins with an invocation, and this Ganesh Chaturthi marks both the poster reveal and the first musical offering from the epic.
“Jai Jai Ram” pulls together three of Indian music’s biggest names under Rahman’s baton. Oscar-winning Rahman is also collaborating with Hans Zimmer on the broader soundtrack, giving the two-part saga an unusually high-wattage score identity ahead of release. The song is available across major platforms and YouTube as the campaign’s opening hymn.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, Ramayana is planned as a two-part theatrical adaptation. Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi is Sita, and Yash portrays Ravana, with Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. Part One is slated for a worldwide theatrical window around Diwali 2026 — November 6 globally and November 8 in India — with Part Two aimed at Diwali 2027.
For fans who have waited on the musical side of this epic, September 14 delivers both the first look at Siya Ram’s tender register and a star-studded invocation to match. “Jai Jai Ram” is the first note; the Diwali countdown has officially found its soundtrack.
