Ramayan Actor Critiques Film's Soundtrack

Sunil Lahri, best known for his role as Lakshman in the 1987-88 television series Ramayan, has commented on the recently released film adaptation directed by Nitesh Tiwari. Though he has not yet seen the movie, Lahri conveyed his confidence in Tiwari's directorial skills and the team's ability to produce a quality film. However, he expressed disappointment with the music featured in the trailer. Lahri felt the soundtrack did not capture the essential local essence of Ayodhya and Mithila, which he considers a crucial element for such a production. He clarified his feedback as a listener's opinion, not an expert's. Wishing the film great success, Lahri emphasized its significance, considering the livelihoods dependent on it. The film's music is a notable collaboration between acclaimed composers Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman. The movie is being released in two parts, with the first installment premiering ahead of Diwali and the second expected in 2028.
