Actor Sunil Lahri, known for portraying Lakshman in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, shares reservations about the music of Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming film Ramayana: Rise of A Legend. In a video posted on social media, he says some of the songs released so far disappoint him, despite the composers involved, and he frames his comments as those of a listener rather than an authority.
Across outlets, Lahri’s core point is that the soundtrack should better convey the epic’s emotional and cultural essence, including the “local flavour” of Ayodhya. He also emphasizes that the film’s success matters because many people’s livelihoods are linked to the project. Times of India reports that he continues to express confidence in the film as an important cultural effort, even while noting his music-related concerns.
All sources mention the collaboration of Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman on the film’s music and background score. The differences in coverage mainly involve how strongly each outlet foregrounds Lahri’s praise or his criticism, rather than any disagreement on the basic facts.
