Ramayana Movie Music and Soundtrack

The historic score by double Oscar winners A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer.

A Historic Union of Two Oscar-Winning Maestros

In a historic first for world cinema, India’s double-Oscar winner A. R. Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire, Lagaan, Roja) and Hollywood’s double-Oscar winner Hans Zimmer (The Lion King, Dune, Gladiator, Inception) have joined forces to compose the complete musical landscape for Ramayana.

Artistic Philosophy & Sonic Architecture

The score bridges ancient Vedic instrumentation with modern cinematic orchestral power:

  • Ancient Vedic Chants & Ragas: Rahman has recorded traditional Vedic pandits, Sanskrit choirs, and classical Indian instruments—including the veena, sitar, bansuri, and mridangam—grounding the score in authentic spiritual sanctity.
  • Massive Symphonic Soundscapes: Zimmer brings his signature low-frequency brass, dynamic percussive motifs, and sweeping synth-orchestral hybrid textures to underscore the immense scale of celestial battles and royal courts.
  • Character Leitmotifs: Distinct melodic themes are woven throughout the narrative for Rama (serene, noble, elevated), Sita (tender, divine, resolute), Ravana (mighty, complex, tragic brass), and Hanuman (soaring, heroic, thunderous percussion).

Lyrics by Dr. Kumar Vishwas

Celebrated Hindi poet and orator Dr. Kumar Vishwas has penned the lyrics for the vocal tracks, crafting verses that honor the poetic dignity of Awadhi and classical Sanskrit while remaining emotionally accessible to contemporary audiences.

Soundtrack Rights & Music Label

Music giant T-Series acquired the global music publishing rights for both Part 1 and Part 2 in an unprecedented advance deal. The soundtrack will be released across all major streaming services worldwide alongside physical audiophile vinyl editions.
