Ram Siya Ram, the new song from Om Raut’s upcoming film Adipurush was released on Monday afternoon. The slow bhajan showcases the ‘timeless’ bond of Lord Ram and Sita, played by Prabhas and Kriti Sanon respectively in the film. The song has been received well by fans, who have praised the lead pair’s chemistry and the visuals and vocals as well.
The song opens with dialogue between Raghava (Prabhas) and Janaki (Kriti) with him telling her that she is a princess and meant to be in palaces, not in the jungle with him. To this, she responds that a shadow can never be separated from the body. The song, shot across breathtaking visuals of forests and splendid Lanka, shows the bond of Lord Ram and Sita after her abduction at the hands of Ravana.

Another commented, “My eyes fills with tears whenever I listen to this.” Yet another echoed this sentiment and added, “This left us all in tears I am sure.”
