Bollywood and the film world are trying to capitalize on the influence of Ramayana and are devoted to Ram.

Siya Rammay sab jag jaani. Karum pranam jori jug paani.

The meaning of this Chaupai written by Goswami Tulsidas is, ‘Shri Ram resides in the entire world. There is God in everyone and we should salute him/her with folded hands. At present the world of entertainment has become Rammay. Literature, drama, TV shows, films – the word Ram and only the name Ram is resonating everywhere.

Ramkatha in script

First of all, let us talk about the popular earning movies ‘Singham Again’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. In the story of ‘Singham Again’, by naming the hero Bajirao Singham as Ram, the rest of the characters of Ramayana have also been replaced with today’s characters. We saw the icons of Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman and Garuda in this movie. It is difficult to say whether the film gained popularity due to the inclusion of Ramkatha in the script or the gathering of 8 popular stars and Rohit Shetty’s film making proved to be effective and amazing. Sociologists and film analysts will sooner or later explain this in their discussions. It is immediately visible that the popularity and acceptance of Lord Ram has been exploited in ‘Singham Again’.

new kind of nationalism

Till now, Rohit Shetty has been telling fictional stories in his/her cop universe and showing corrupt politicians and officials as villainous characters. This time apparently the villain is a Muslim in the form of Ravana and the surname Hafiz has also been added to his/her name. Zubair Hafiz… Yes, there should be no confusion. The original name is not there, but the audience can understand where it came from, i.e. Hafiz Saeed and Pakistan. This is the new nationalism of new India. However, let us focus only on the religious elements of Ram Katha in the script of ‘Singham Again’. Rohit Shetty and his/her writers very wisely spend the first few minutes in Kashmir and then start the journey to the south. Ravana is in the south. The Lanka of that time and the Lanka of now is his/her land.

Actually, there is a haunted story in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. An attempt has been made to create excitement by taking into account the interesting incident between witches and Rooh Baba. Adding to the original story, this third production presents Rooh Baba with new twists, themes and characters. Notice how many times the word Ram has been used in the title song of this film. Karthik Aryan dances in a special gesture with the fingers of both the palms while singing ‘Hare Ram Hare Ram, Hare Krishna Hare Ram’ in his/her graceful style, in the throbbing tune and twinkling lights. The thumb and little finger are vertical. The middle three fingers remain stuck to the palm. The echo of ‘Hare Ram Hare Ram’ is heard again and again on the throbbing tune. The audience gets lost in the modern swara waves of traditional chanting. The cry of Ram-Ram is being transmitted within us and we are becoming filled with emotions and being filled with Ram.

The success, popularity and earnings of both the films released on 1st November this month have a direct impact on the happy atmosphere in the country. Let’s move on from films and talk about drama. You all must be aware that Ashutosh Rana is playing the role of Ravana in the play ‘Hamara Ram’ these days. he/she had written Ram Katha titled ‘Ramrajya’ a few years ago. his/her work became very popular due to the elegance of language and poignant and ideological description of sweet incidents. Now he/she is staging ‘Hamara Ram’ directed by Gaurav Bhardwaj. Rahul Bhuchar plays the role of Shriram in this play. This play is the idea of ​​Rahul Bhuchar.

Sriram in theater

‘Hamara Ram’ has been climbing the stairs of success since its first staging. Recently, its 115th show took place in Mathura, in which Hema Malini was also present. If you search for information and booking of upcoming drama shows, you will find that the shows for the next 3 months have been booked. Ram is also being used in theater and the audience is liking it.

Ramayana returning to TV

After film, literature and drama, a TV show is also coming. The telecast of ‘Kakbhushundi Ramayan’ will start on Doordarshan from 18th November. Shivsagar, grandson of Ramanand Sagar, producer-director of Ramayana, is directing it. It is being claimed that many unheard stories will be presented in this Ramayana. These stories will be made attractive and impressive through VFX. And yes, it should not be missed to mention that these days Doordarshan telecasts Shri Ramlala’s Aarti live directly from Ayodhya Dham at 6:30 am. In this broadcast of about 21 minutes, Doordarshan viewers see and hear the daily aarti of Ramlala.
