Singer Javed Ali has spoken at length about the deeply personal experience of voicing 'Siya Ram', a devotional track from the upcoming film 'Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha', released on Wednesday, 26 August 2026. The song, which celebrates the timeless bond between Shri Ram and Mata Sita, has reportedly strengthened Ali's desire to pursue devotional music at a more spiritual level.

Javed Ali on the Experience

Ali, who lent his voice to the Hindi rendition of the track, described the recording as far more than a professional assignment. 'Siya Ram' is not just a song I have sung; it is a prayer I have felt. Singing the names of Siya and Ram brought a profound sense of surrender and peace that words cannot fully express, he said.

He added: 'It reminded me that devotional music is not about merely lending your voice to the lyrics; it is about giving a part of yourself to them. This experience has deepened my desire to explore devotional music and connect with it at a much more spiritual level.'

The Chhattisgarhi Version and Its Distinct Identity

The track was simultaneously released in Chhattisgarhi, with Anurag Sharma providing the vocals for that version. Sharma reflected on the linguistic and emotional nuance involved: 'Chhattisgarhi has an inherent softness and humility, which made recording 'Siya Ram' feel deeply personal. When you sing a song rooted in faith, the goal isn't just to hit the right notes but to carry the weight of those emotions authentically.'

He further noted, 'I wanted every word to reflect the sweetness of our language and the reverence of the narrative. My hope is that whenever people hear this, it instantly brings them a sense of calm and lifts their spirits.' The dual-language format allows the song to retain a shared emotional core while preserving each language's distinct musical character.

Credits and Streaming Details

'Siya Ram' is composed by Ashish and Dev, with lyrics penned by Jaidev Jonwal, and released under Divo Music. The track is now streaming across Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, iTunes, YouTube Music, and Gaana in both Hindi and Chhattisgarhi.

About the Film

Presented by AJ Film Entertainment World, 'Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha' is directed by Abhishek Singh and produced by Prakash Mahobiya and Sanjay Bundela, with Honey Kuldeep Agarwal and Monika Sen as co-producers. The film stars Dev Sharma, Anjali Arora, Sheel Verma, Rajniesh Duggal, and Nirbhay Wadhwa. It is slated for a nationwide theatrical release in both Hindi and Chhattisgarhi on 25 September 2026.

With 'Siya Ram' setting a contemplative tone ahead of the film's release, the makers appear to be positioning 'Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha' as a devotionally rooted cinematic experience rather than a conventional Bollywood retelling.
