Raavan Ki Ramayan relaunch is a re-look at history from the point of view of those who lost and never got a chance to tell their side of story with more intense dialogues, new set and costume. A virtuous king of a prosperous kingdom is outraged at the ravaged modesty of his sister and sets out for a dignified revenge. But he falls for the defiance and audacity of an abducted woman and ultimately throws his kingdom into a great war against the will of many of his ministers including his eldest son and his wise wife Mandodari. The war within him poses him against the questions of his wife, sons, Gods and ancestors and war outside ultimately becomes the eternal war of Sur and Asur with high stakes from history on both sides. What unfolds is an epic hitherto unheard

Atul Satya Koushik, writer & Director, says, “We had got very great reviews for play Raavan Ki Ramayan during the launch. We had performed more than 50 times in different part of India. After overwhelming response from viewers we decided to come back with the changes in costume, enhanced set and also additional dialogues. The play will be telling the story of Ramayana from the perspective of the demon-king Raavana.  I have always believed that history is written by those who won and survived. This is play is not an effort to glorify Raavan but to give him a chance to explain the reasons for doing what he did.”

Puneet Issar, a renowned Actor says “I am very excited for the relauch of play Raavan ki Ramayan for which I have specifically chiseled body for the character with wholesome play. There is a human side to his character which has been given due respect in writing of this play. Doing this character is always special for me and I am trying to take that head on.”
