The timeless creation of Goswami Tulsidas, Shri Ramcharitmanas, is set to reach audiences through an ambitious 52-hour musical rendition. The teaser of this grand project, featuring the soulful voice of renowned Bollywood singer Madhushree and the compositions of music composer Robby Badal, was launched at an event in Mumbai. The two artists devoted nearly two years to bringing this musical presentation to life. The teaser has been released under the music label Royant Music.
The teaser launch was attended by spiritual guru Oma the Akk, producer-director and actor Karan Razdan, actor Gagan Malik, Vastu expert Dr. Khoja, actress Kampal Patel, Parag Chaphekar and Mahima Bharadwaj, among other guests. The attendees praised the project as a significant initiative bringing together India’s spiritual heritage and music.
“I Did Not Just Sing; I Practised Devotion” — Madhushree
Sharing her experience, Madhushree said, “The entire story of Lord Ram can now be experienced through a musical journey. I dedicated myself in the name of Lord Ram. For more than two years, I continued singing the Ramcharitmanas, immersed in devotion.”
She added, “I am Bengali, and singing the entire Ramcharitmanas in the Awadhi language was a major challenge for me. But when I began by taking Lord Ram’s name, I felt that I had received His blessings. The story of the Ramcharitmanas is so emotional that I often found myself in tears while singing. When singing film songs, there is usually an expectation of success and popularity, but I had no such expectations with this project. I sang it with devotion. I would say that I did not just sing; I practised devotion.”
Robby Badal: “This Would Not Have Been Possible Without Madhushree’s Voice”
Music composer Robby Badal said, “Creating Shri Ramcharitmanas in this form was not easy. It would not have been possible without Madhushree’s voice. I had never imagined that I would have the privilege of composing music for the Ramcharitmanas. I come from a small village, and this is a very significant achievement for me.”
He explained that the presentation combines melodious compositions with musical arrangements designed for contemporary listeners. He also shared that nine bhajans are planned for release during Navratri. Praising Madhushree’s dedication, he said that the project was undertaken not for financial gain, but with devotion.
Oma the Akk Calls It an Effort to Connect Generations
Spiritual guru Oma the Akk praised Madhushree’s dedication, saying, “At a time when art is often viewed through the lens of business and fame, Madhushree has dedicated two years of her life and career to the Ramcharitmanas. Her devotion is truly commendable.”
He added, “This 52-hour presentation is an effort to connect the younger generation, especially Gen Z, with Indian culture. My best wishes to the team. I hope this album will be heard for generations to come.”
Karan Razdan Extends His Best Wishes
Karan Razdan, director of the film Hindutva, said that Madhushree had been speaking about the Ramcharitmanas project for the past two years. He congratulated Madhushree and Robby Badal on the scale of their effort and expressed hope that the presentation would be remembered by future generations.
Vastu expert Dr. Khoja and other guests also extended their best wishes to the two artists. Dr. Khoja spoke about the spiritual power of Lord Ram’s name and appreciated the initiative.
Messages from Anup Jalota, Kailash Kher, Kumar Sanu and Mandakini
Through video messages, Padma Shri awardee Anup Jalota, singer Kailash Kher, Kumar Sanu and actress Mandakini extended their wishes to Madhushree and Robby Badal. Anup Jalota congratulated Madhushree, saying that she had done a beautiful job.
Through this 52-hour musical presentation, the creators aim to bring Tulsidas’s immortal work to listeners in a new musical form. The coming months will reveal how this blend of devotion, literature and music resonates with audiences.
