Quick Read
- ‘Mangal Rang’, the wedding song from Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, released on YouTube on October 25 at 9 am IST.
- Sung by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal, composed by A.R. Rahman — it shows Ranbir Kapoor as Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita at their wedding.
- The film releases worldwide on November 5, 2026, with Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman.
The wedding has arrived before the war. ‘Mangal Rang’, the wedding song from Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, released on YouTube on the morning of October 25, The Times of India and Times Now reported. Sung by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal and composed by A.R. Rahman, the song shows Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita in their wedding celebrations — the quiet, golden stretch of the epic before everything breaks.
Fans didn’t have to wait for the full song to know it. ‘Mangal Rang’ was first played at a launch event in Chennai, where its music and visuals got the first round of excitement going, and bits of the wedding sequence had already been teased in the film’s trailer. The full release on Sunday morning turned that tease into the real thing — and the reaction, per The Times of India, was fans going “gaga” over the Ranbir-Sai Pallavi pairing as Ram and Sita.
Why this song matters more than a usual track
Most film songs sell a mood. This one sells a casting decision. Ranbir Kapoor as Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita is the bet the whole film rests on — if audiences don’t buy them as the divine couple, nothing else in a two-part epic works. A wedding song is the safest place to test that bet: no battle, no demons, just two actors in ceremonial dress, held up by Rahman’s melody and two of India’s most trusted playback voices.
The choice of singers does its own work. Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal are the closest thing Hindi film music has to a guarantee — their names on a track tell a listener what kind of song this is before a single note plays. Pair them with Rahman, and ‘Mangal Rang’ arrives with more goodwill than most full albums get.

The soundtrack so far
‘Mangal Rang’ follows two earlier hit tracks from the film, and it sits inside a five-track soundtrack EP the makers have already released. The EP includes ‘Jai Jai Ram’ and ‘Ravana Tandav’, plus the instrumental themes ‘Sita’s Aspiration’ and ‘The Rama Theme’, per The Times of India. The soundtrack has also gone out in regional languages through T-Series’ Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam YouTube channels — a reminder that this film is being sold in every major Indian market at once, from the Hindi belt to the south.
Behind the music is a first. The film marks the first collaboration on an Indian production between Oscar-winning composers A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer — Rahman for the Indian score, Zimmer for the international version’s sound. Producer Namit Malhotra told Times Now on October 25 how the English version was built: the film was shot in Hindi, not in English, and a system called Brahma AI blends human actors’ voices with computer work on the audio so the different language versions match the actors’ lip movements. Most of the cast dubbed the English trailer themselves, without AI. The Hindi version, reports say, runs about three hours and 15 minutes; the English version is shorter at around two hours and 45 minutes, with some song sequences trimmed for international audiences.
Eleven days to go
Ramayana: Part 1 releases worldwide on November 5, 2026, in theatres and IMAX. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, it stars Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. Between now and then, expect the campaign to shift gears — the wedding is done, and what’s left to sell is the war. The trailer for Pratap, starring Amit Sadh, lands October 26, but nothing in the next eleven days will out-shout a Ramayana release week.
For now, the song is the news. It is on YouTube, it is the film’s third major track, and it gives audiences their fullest look yet at the couple the whole epic depends on. Whether the wedding wins them over will show up in the only number that counts — November 5’s opening.
