Veteran actor Anupam Kher is still buzzing after attending a special screening of the highly anticipated epic ‘Ramayana’ in Stockholm, Sweden. Kher, who lends his voice to the character of Jatayu and serves as the film’s opening narrator, took to social media to share his overwhelming reaction to the project. Addressing his followers in a self-made video, the actor didn’t hold back, declaring it one of the finest cinematic achievements in the history of Indian cinema and praising its visual grandeur as something he has never witnessed before.
The screening, which drew a packed house of nearly 500 people in the Swedish capital, proved to be an emotional experience for the star. Kher recounted how the audience was visibly moved, with the hall erupting into applause and chants of “Jai Shri Ram” as the credits rolled. Describing the moment as unforgettable, the actor shared his immense pride in being associated with such an ambitious Indian production, clarifying that his glowing words were a matter of heartfelt praise rather than a formal critical review.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, ‘Ramayana: Part 1’ marks the beginning of a massive two-part adaptation of the legendary epic. The star-studded cast features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman.

Following its worldwide theatrical release on November 5, 2026, the team continues to receive widespread acclaim for bringing the ancient tale to the big screen on such an extraordinary scale.
