I watched Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana yesterday, first day, first show right here in Bengaluru (IMAX 3D). It took a while to digest everything I experienced on that screen before writing this.
Going in, as a musician and filmmaker, I fully expected to analyze the technical aspects, the score, the sound design, the visual effects. But within 4 minutes, the film completely drew me in. I forgot to critique and simply got engrossed in what is, without a doubt, one of the greatest achievements in Indian cinema history. What was shown in the trailers was nothing; they barely scratched the surface. Every single department came together to tell this soul-stirring story in the most epic, magnificent fashion. Finally, a film on the Ramayana that does complete justice to its source material.
The film opens with Ravana’s origin story, crisply edited and immensely powerful. The writing around Ravana is brilliant: it builds a complex character where you almost begin to empathize with him, yet the script masterfully holds you back, establishing the perfect antagonist to Lord Ram. To be completely honest, it took me a moment to accept Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram initially, but the moment his character enters the jungle in exile, he embodies Lord Ram in every movement, posture, and expression. Every performance across the ensemble is stellar. @TheNameIsYash ’s presence is unbelievable, mark my words, he is set to become the next massive Indian star in Hollywood.
What makes this film far more powerful than typical high-budget Indian features is its restraint. It never succumbs to excessive, bombastic dialogue or physics-defying action sequences for cheap thrills. It holds a sense of dignity, grace, and reverence befitting Lord Ram.
Before walking in, I was uncertain about the score, having heard the endless online debates surrounding it. But seeing it synced to the imagery, I realized it is the precise, elevated soundtrack an epic of this scale demands. The magical combination of @arrahman and @HansZimmer excel extraordinarily. The score soars with majestic weight in the grand moments, recedes into delicate nuance during the quiet ones, and amplifies every emotional beat. Zimmer's & Rahman’s touch, uplifts the narrative in a way few composers on earth could achieve.
Visually, the CGI easily rivals (and in many places surpasses) top-tier Hollywood studio productions. The climax sequence featuring Jatayu against Ravana is genuinely one of the finest visual effects sequences I have seen in global cinema. The finished VFX is a dramatic leap forward from the early trailer footage, proving how tirelessly the post-production team worked up to the release.
@malhotra_namit is a true visionary. From building @PrimeFocusIndia to leading @dneg to international dominance, and now pouring his mastery into @WorldOfRamayana , he has delivered a cinematic landmark for generations. Paired with the sharp storytelling, direction, and structural depth brought by @niteshtiwari22 and @Sriram_raghv , the film achieves world-class standing.
Do yourself a favor: watch this on the largest screen possible, preferably in 3D. I bet on anything, you will experience at least five genuine goosebump moments that leave you in awe, and bring tissues for at least two scenes; the emotional weight will hit you deeply.
@PriyankKharge ತಾವು ರಚಿಸಿರುವ ಸುಧಾರಣಾ ಹಾಗೂ ಆಧುನೀಕರಣ ಸಮಿತಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಹಿಳಾ ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿತ್ವ ಕಾಣುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಮಹಿಳೆಯರ ಅನುಭವ, ಸಲಹೆ ಮತ್ತು ಒಳನೋಟವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯ ಸುಧಾರಣೆ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗುವುದೇ? ಮಹಿಳಾ ಸುರಕ್ಷತೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಸಮಾಜದ ಅಗತ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಗಮನದಲ್ಲಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡು ಸಮಿತಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಹಿಳೆಯರ ಧ್ವನಿಗೂ ಸ್ಥಾನ ನೀಡಬೇಕು.@CMofKarnataka
Thank you every one and @RahulGandhi sir for all the love, support, appreciation it makes all the difference ♥️and I’d say haters but what they are doing is criminal so to whoever you serve, your narrative can’t change the reality.

Below is a beautiful deep piece written by some anonymous person on what this youth movement represents for the country
“Hello country men, boyz & girlz🫡
There come moments when the unusual does not merely interrupt the ordinary, it claims the idle mind completely, demanding that we look without flinching. Such a moment is upon us. The movement that names itself Past, Present & Future has arrived, & with it a truth long deferred.
For a decade plus it felt as though the nation watched a solitary figure stride the ramp, while the rest of the country remained an audience, silent & sidelined. One Akela walked, and the rest looked on. In that long interval the youth were left to absorb the slow violence of neglect: shrinking educational pathways, the steady evaporation of dignified work, a policy architecture that repeatedly failed them, and the unending scandal of paper leaks that turned every examination into a lottery of despair. Resentment gathered quietly, almost invisibly, until it became pregnant with consequence. On the twentieth of July the delivery took place.
What followed deserves recognition without reservation. The young chose the difficult, older path, Gandhi’s path. They stood their ground with a composure that startled those who govern from a distance. When the blows came they answered not with matching fury but with a defiant clarity that still echoes: *मारो मारो… और मारो*. In that cry lived both endurance and moral indictment. These were not sudden rebels. They had been watching, seething, learning. When the hour finally offered itself, they recognised it.
Sonam’s quiet presence had become a living emblem of truth. When the authorities lifted him away, they miscalculated the depth of the soil they stood on; the act only deepened the roots of the movement. From that moment the young continued to arrive—steady, purposeful, unhurried—turning ground zero into a living map of solidarity that stretched across the country. The message travelled farther and faster than any official communication could contain.
Violence was answered with non-violence, yet the spirits of the injured did not dim. They returned. Society, long hesitant, began to walk beside them. Everything moved with a strange precision: the youth remained the face of the movement, & the maturity they displayed was neither performative nor accidental. Gandhi, it seems, still lives in the deepest layers of this land’s DNA.
Those who hold power have grown unfamiliar with the texture of ordinary streets. They inhabit rooms that rarely hear the footsteps of the dispossessed. That distance has become the wound. Yet looking at the young who now fill the open spaces, one feels a quiet assurance: the country’s future rests in hands that know both restraint and resolve.
There is no fracture visible in this gathering. What one sees instead is solidarity made flesh—breathing, unbroken, and already rewriting the story of what it means to inherit a nation.
Be Blessed

जंतरमंतर प्रोटेस्ट खत्म होने के बाद युवा #GenZ ने सड़क पर फैलाया कचरा साफ किया और फिर घर गए।
अब गोदीमीडिया की बारी है जिन्होंने इनको आतंकी, विदेशी फंडिंग गैंग, देशविरोधी कहा अपना कचरा समेटकर इनसे माफी मांगे।
Sonam Wangchuk’s (@Wangchuk66) Gandhian satyagraha awakened an entire nation.
Fasting for 26 days for the youth of this country was a pure and supreme sacrifice.
Whole Nation proud of you sir.🥹
Sonam Wangchuk’s (@Wangchuk66) Gandhian satyagraha awakened an entire nation. Fasting for 26 days for the youth of this country was a pure and supreme sacrifice. It will go down in history as the moral force that united us all against impossible odds.
Words cannot fully express our thanks for your contributions. We love you and are endlessly grateful for your satyagraha.
