Wedding season playlists just got a new contender. The makers of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana have released Mangal Rang, a gentle wedding song built around Lord Rama and Sita’s marriage in Mithila, and it has Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal on vocals with AR Rahman behind the music.
The track, which features Ranbir Kapoor as Rama and Sai Pallavi as Sita, is now out in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam on YouTube and music streaming apps. It was first presented at a launch event in Chennai on October 22, and the full release lands less than two weeks before Ramayana: Part One opens in cinemas worldwide on November 5.
Quick Facts

- Music: AR Rahman
- Hindi singers: Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal
- Hindi lyrics: Dr Kumar Vishwas
- Languages: Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam
- Where to listen: World of Ramayana and T-Series YouTube channels, plus streaming platforms
- Film release: November 5, 2026 (Part One), in cinemas worldwide
What the Mangal Rang Song Shows
As the title suggests (mangal roughly means auspicious), this is a celebration song rather than a battle anthem. The video follows Rama and Sita’s wedding festivities, then moves through palace scenes and into their years of exile, the Vanvas.
There are also wide landscape shots of Ranbir’s Rama with his bow, arrows and sword, which hint at the scale the film is going for. Parts of this wedding sequence had already appeared in the film’s trailer, so fans who paused on those frames now get the full song.
Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal and Singers in Five Languages
Instead of dubbing one version, the makers recorded each language with its own pair of singers, and each version has lyrics written by a lyricist from that language. Here is who sings what:
- Hindi: Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal
- Tamil: Abhay Jodhpurkar and Saindhavi
- Telugu: Raghav Kaushik and Vaishali Samant
- Kannada: Armaan Malik and Bela Shende
- Malayalam: Naresh Iyer and Amritha Rajan
That is a smart move for a pan-India release. A listener in Chennai or Kochi gets a song that sounds written for them, not translated for them.
What AR Rahman and the Singers Said
In a statement shared with the release, Rahman said some stories “simply need to be felt” rather than explained, and that he hopes listeners find something personal in the melody.
Arijit Singh said the song helped him connect with the bond between Rama and Sita, and described Ramayana as a timeless reflection of life and human relationships. Shreya Ghoshal said the song let her connect with its tenderness and that she approached it “with a lot of love” in her heart.
Ramayana Release Date, Cast and Music Team
Ramayana is being made as a two-part film. Part One releases worldwide on November 5, 2026, while Part Two has been planned for Diwali 2027.
Besides Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, the cast includes Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana. Reports also list Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha and Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi.
The film is produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios with DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations. On the music side, Rahman is working alongside Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer, which India.com describes as Zimmer’s first Indian production collaboration with Rahman.
Mangal Rang is not the first song out. The devotional track Jai Jai Ram, also sung by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal with lyrics by Kumar Vishwas, was released on Ganesh Chaturthi and kicked off the film’s music campaign.
Why This Song Matters for the Film
Big mythological films live or die on emotion, not just visual effects. A tender wedding song gives audiences a reason to care about Rama and Sita before the story turns to exile and war.
It also has a long shelf life. Shaadi songs tend to stick around in sangeet playlists and family WhatsApp groups well beyond a film’s theatrical run, and a five-language release widens that reach across the country.
What We Don’t Know Yet
- The names of the Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam lyricists were not listed in the reports we reviewed.
- Whether Part Two will keep its Diwali 2027 slot. One headline on India.com suggested it could move to 2028, but the makers have not confirmed any change.
- How many more songs will release before November 5.
Where to Listen
You can watch the video on the official T-Series YouTube channel and the World of Ramayana channel, or search “Mangal Rang Ramayana” on your usual music app. Pick your language version, since each one has a different set of singers.
Our Take
Releasing a soft wedding song instead of another loud promo is a confident choice. With Rahman, Arijit and Shreya together, the team is betting that heart will sell this film as much as scale. If the rest of the album keeps this tone, Ramayana could have a soundtrack people play long after November.
