Ramayani(1945)

Ramayani is a 1945 Hindi mythological film that adapts the epic Ramayana for the screen. Directed by Sarvottam Badami for Purnima Productions, the film features Pahari Sanyal, Nargis, Chandra Mohan, and Kanhaiyalal in its cast. S. N. Tripathi composed the music, with lyrics by Bekal. Released during a prolific period for Ramayana adaptations in Indian cinema—following Vijay Bhatt's celebrated Ram Rajya two years earlier—Ramayani represents Purnima Productions' interpretation of the timeless Hindu epic. The film captures the grandeur and spiritual themes central to the source material through its period production design and classical narrative approach.
