Actor Sunil Lahri, known for playing Lakshman in Ramanand Sagar’s TV series Ramayan, comments on Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming film Ramayana: Rise Of A Legend ahead of its theatrical release. In posts and interviews shared online, he says he is “disappointed” by some of the songs released so far, even as he expresses respect for Tiwari as a director.
Lahri argues that music plays a key role in how the epic’s spirit reaches audiences and suggests it should reflect the local flavour and cultural essence of Ayodhya. While he frames his views as those of a listener rather than a music authority, he also links the film’s success to the livelihoods of people involved in the project. He points to the music collaboration between Hans Zimmer and A R Rahman, noting that the output still did not fully meet his expectations.
Times of India and NDTV both centre Lahri’s reaction to the film’s music, while Times of India also highlights his broader praise for Ranbir Kapoor’s involvement and his view that the film matters for Indian culture. Free Press Journal adds detail from a video in which he discusses disappointment with specific songs and the need for emotion and cultural resonance.
