Second Single from Adipurush

As the countdown for the mega worldwide release of the film continues, the makers have released the second from the soundtrack. Titled Ram Siya Ram in Hindi and Ram Sita Ram in the other four languages (Kannada, Telugu, Tamil & Malayalam), the song attempts to capture the pristine love, trust and commitment that exist between Raghava and Janaki. The video version of the song, aside from boasting breathtaking visuals, shines a light on the many travails of the prince of Ayodhya to rescue and protect the love of his life from the clutches of the king of Lanka, Ravana. 

Kannada Version Enraptures Listeners

'Ram Sita Ram' has been receiving a lot of praise from netizens who seem quite delighted by the tender and emotional nature of the song. The Kannada version, especially, is being hailed as the better of the dubbed lot with a few Telugu listeners, too, opining that the Kannada lyrics do complete justice to the underlying sentiments. Pramod Maravanthe, best known for penning the lyrics of melodies like Singara Siriye from Kantara and Innu Bekagide from Mundina Nildana, doesn't only translate the original Hindi lyrics to Kannada but reinterprets the universally known story of Rama and Sita and underlines the montages.

Here are some of the tweets about the Kannada version of Ram Sita Ram:
