Srimad Ramayan teaser
Sharing the new teaser, Sony shared on Instagram: "Ram naam ki mala japti Shabri kar rahi hai pratiksha prabhu shri Ram ji ki (Shabri is reciting Ram's name repeatedly as she waits for him to arrive)…#SrimadRamayan jald hi sirf #SonyEntertainmentTelevision पर. #SrimadRamayanOnSonyTV #ShriRam #Ramayan."
The teaser opens with an old and frail Shabri, sitting under a tree, tasting one berry after another to check if they are sweet or sour and keeping them half-eaten while waiting for Lord Ram. She says “Mere prabhu, Shri Ram kab aayenge” while eagerly waiting for him. Soon, a blurred glimpse of Lord Ram walking out of bright light is shown as he arrives to meet Shabri.
Many commented on the promo, “Jai Shri Ram”. Many also shared heart emojis in reaction to the post.
The show was announced in August, exactly two months after the release of Om Raut's big budget film Adipurush. The film was widely slammed for its colloquial dialogues and creative liberty taken in portrayal of mythological characters.
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh had shared the promo on X (formerly Twitter) in August. He had written along with it, “Embark on a mythical expedition with Lord Ram as #SonyEntertainmentTelevision unveils the spectacular promo of their upcoming saga, #SrimadRamayan, releasing in January 2024.”
What a new Ramayan show/film should look like
In an interview with Hindustan Times, actor Sunil Lahri of TV show Ramayan fame had shared an advice for those making Ramayan all over again. He had said, “They should not change the base. The treatment of the Ramayana should be decent and respectful. It cannot be experimented with while making a new version. The language, the depiction of the characters and the scenes need to be in sync with the epic. The characters should be well-defined. Our show was true to the essence of Ramayana and people across religions, age groups and demographics connected with it and liked it.”
