Corroboration: 3 independent outlets

Arijit Singh recorded nearly 200 takes for the devotional track Jai Jai Ram from the upcoming epic film Ramayana, according to Pinkvilla. A source told the outlet that the singer became so immersed in the emotion of the song that he did not want the recording session to end, moving beyond technical aspects to surrender completely to the devotional feeling. The song, composed by AR Rahman with lyrics by Dr Kumar Vishwas, was released on Ganesh Chaturthi and features Shreya Ghoshal as co-singer. The video shows Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita. Bollywoodlife reports the track trended on social media within minutes of release, with fans praising the singers and the portrayal of the divine couple. Ramayana is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra. Part 1 is scheduled for worldwide release on November 6, 2026, and in India on November 8, 2026, with Part 2 planned for Diwali 2027. The cast also includes Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

All three sources report the 200-take fact from Pinkvilla, with Times of India and Bollywoodlife attributing it directly, and Pinkvilla presenting it as an exclusive. Bollywoodlife adds context absent from the others: the music is being developed for a global audience with Hans Zimmer's involvement, and visual effects are by DNEG, known for Hollywood films. The coverage is uniform and celebratory, with no critical framing or disagreement among outlets. No source questions the production scale or timeline. The next milestone to watch is the release of Part 1 on November 6, 2026.
