Ramayana: Rise of a Legend has turned Karwa Chauth into a promotional moment for its love story. The film’s team released Judi Jodi, a devotional wedding track, across streaming platforms on 29 October.
A song built around the Varmala
Composed by A.R. Rahman, the track places the story’s wedding ritual at the centre. Shreya Ghoshal and Chinmayi Sripada lead the Hindi version, while poet-lyricist Dr Kumar Vishwas has written the verses. The arrangement moves between traditional Indian instruments and softer modern acoustics, matching the sacred tone of the sequence.
More than one language
The release is not limited to Hindi. Judi Jodi is live in five languages: Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. That mirrors the film’s pan-India ambitions ahead of its worldwide release on 5 November.

Why a devotional track makes sense now
The early promo material for the film leaned on battle visuals and VFX-heavy spectacle. Judi Jodi pulls the focus back to the bond between Ram and Sita, a choice that speaks to family audiences and to the festival itself. With international distribution by Sony Pictures and Hindi-belt distribution by Dharma Productions, the film is moving into its final promotional stretch with a clear emotional hook.
Karwa Chauth has long held a place in Bollywood imagery, often used for moments of devotion and married love. By releasing the Ram-Sita track on this day, the makers connect the film to a living ritual rather than a distant mythological frame.
What this tells us about the rollout
This is not just a song drop. It signals the kind of campaign Ramayana: Rise of a Legend will run in its final days: emotional, multilingual and aimed at the widest possible Indian audience. The team behind the film includes producer Namit Malhotra and VFX house DNEG, so the spectacle will remain a draw once the music has done its work.
For listeners, the song is a chance to hear Rahman and Ghoshal together on a devotional melody, while the additional language versions make the same moment accessible across regions. It also offers a preview of how the film will treat its central relationships, not just its battles.
The film’s official handle framed the release with a quote: “Celebrate this Karwa Chauth with a love that is eternal and a bond that is divine. Judi Jodi, full audio song out now.” It is an invitation as much as an announcement.
