After watching the Ramayana trailer, the standout performer for me was Yash as Ravana. Yash's expressions and overall aura perfectly match the character. It feels like he has completely stepped into the role, and his portrayal already looks powerful and convincing. He actually gives off the feeling and vibe of Ravana. It seems that the filmmakers have not compromised the essence of Ramayana in the name of modernization.

Nations are not merely declared; they are shaped and held together through moments of extraordinary resolve.

Sardar The Play revisits this rare and defining moment of statecraft, with Manoj Joshi portraying Patel with a presence that feels almost lived rather than merely performed. The play is set to make history and will go live on 25th and 26th April at Jamshed Bhabha Theatre.
