# Ramayan duo reunite for OTT film Notice on November 6 2026-10-11T01:08:13+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Arun Govil and Dipika Chikhlia Topiwala, who played Lord Ram and Sita in Ramanand Sagar's 1987 television series Ramayan, are reuniting for their first feature film together in nearly 39 years. Titled Notice, the social drama is directed by Pradeep Gupta and will premiere on the OTT platform Waves on November 6. Govil is also set to appear as King Dashrath in Ramayana: Part 1, scheduled for release on November 8. Producer-actor Aditya Pratap Singh Raghuvanshi described the film as a modern-day Ramayan set in a village, centred on a 150-year-old shop threatened by development. Govil plays an ordinary man fighting a corrupt system, while Chikhlia plays his wife. The team chose an OTT release to reach television-era fans, the Times of India, Indian Express and Odisha TV report. The film will also air on 36 satellite channels. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three outlets present the same basic facts: the film's plot, release date, and the actors' reunion after 39 years. The Times of India leads with the OTT release and provides the most detail on the producer's reasoning, while Indian Express and Odisha TV lead with the reunion itself. Odisha TV emphasises the nostalgic angle most strongly, calling the duo 'Ram-Sita jodi' in its headline. The coverage is uniformly neutral in stance, with no outlet adding political or ideological commentary. The film's digital-first release and its attempt to reach TV-era audiences is the key strategic detail all three outlets report. ## Coverage Coverage: 3 sources, 3 neutral - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Straight news reporting on the film's release and plot. - indianexpress.com (neutral report) Straight news reporting with details on the OTT strategy. - odishatv.in (neutral report) Straight news reporting with nostalgic framing in headline.
