Enjoy Broadway style Ramlila at PVR Prashant Vihar this time

Team L&M

Do you love watching Ramlila but are afraid of going into the public considering the pandemic? Or is it that the open places bother you due to weather condition and the general cacophony associated with these. Worry not.
This time you can watch the Broadway style Ramlila within the secure and air-conditioned environs of a multiplex. Yes, you read it right.
For the first time in the history of Ramlila, this year the Aryan Heritage Foundation is holding its Broadway Style Ramlila – Sampurn Ramayana at PVR in Prashant Vihar. The show offers perfect modern technological ingredients in terms of music, sound, choreography, lighting, stage design, and costumes, at a breathtaking pace, in an effective and mesmerising spectacle. This unique exuberance of mythology in a contemporary context will be presented from October 8-14.
The Foundation’s Sampurn Ramayana  is a three-hour grand stage show production, held every year since 2015, on the grounds of Netaji Subhash Place, Pitampura during which the audience is transported to Satyug where they live every moment with Shri Ram, making analogies between his life and theirs. Only this time it is being presented in a multiplex.

“We are presenting the recording of our 2019 Ramlia. It will be just like as if you are watching some big budget Hollywood movie. We are also trying to give me the audiences an interactive live experience,” says Rajender Mittal, creator of Sampurn Ramayana and President, Aryan Heritage Foundation.
“Last year, we couldn’t hold the celebrations, but this time we were quite determined on holding it, come what may,” he says adding that though there is nothing like a live Ramlila in an open maidan, wherein thousands of viewers congregate. “We used to have 2,500 viewers on an average while here we just have a seating capacity of 163 in one hall and 110 in the second,” says Mittal.

The show has actor Rahul Ray enacting the role of Lord Ram and Havisha Agnihotri as Goddess Sita. Shiv Dutt Pandey plays Lakshman.
In his mystical voice, actor Mukesh Khanna will be narrating the story of Ramayana as Valmiki, talking the audience through the various phases of Shri Ram’s life. There are 18 original sound tracks, the title song being sung by Udit Narayan and one introducing Ravan by Kailash Kher.
“Each of our actors, even those representing vanars in the Shri Ram Sena, is carefully selected after proper audition,” informs Mittal, adding that there are 120 actor in all. The show is directed by Shashidharan Nair and music is arranged by Chandra Kamal and Bharat Kamal.With 5.1 Surround Sound the whole experience becomes extremely magical and dreamlike.
