Dev Sharma and Anjali Arora bring Shri Ram-Sita’s divine journey to big screen

On Thursday, the trailer for Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha was unveiled in Mumbai. The film features Dev Sharma, Anjali Arora, and Rajniesh Duggall in the lead roles. This movie has garnered attention due to comparisons with Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi's Ramayana, as well as Anjali Arora's casting. The trailer's VFX are decent in some scenes but lackluster in others, yet it has managed to capture the audience's interest.

Social media users have shared mixed reactions, describing it as having "TV show vibes from a theatrical release" and questioning Anjali's acting abilities, comparing it to "better than Adipurush." At the trailer launch, Anjali Arora addressed the trolling she has faced on social media, stating that people's opinions on her dance video and her portrayal of Mata Sita are fleeting but that she is grateful for the attention.

The film, set to release on September 25, 2026, will compete with The Vvaan and Avengers: Endgame at the box office.
