Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana Secures Record-Breaking 75 Crore Music Deal with T-Series
The Indian Express and Sacnilk both carry the figure, and the deal lands just days after the film's trailer dropped to a roaring response at San Diego Comic-Con.
According to Deccan Chronicle, T-Series has reportedly dropped ₹75 crore to lock in the music rights for both parts of Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana — a record advance that puts the studio in pole position for what could be the most-listened-to Bollywood soundtrack of the year. The Indian Express and Sacnilk both carry the figure, and the deal lands just days after the film's trailer dropped to a roaring response at San Diego Comic-Con.
What the Deal Actually Signals
Per Deccan Chronicle, the ₹75 crore advance covers both parts of the upcoming epic. Sacnilk frames T-Series' play as a "wild card entry" carrying an "industry breaking offer." For a two-part mythological saga where the music has to scale alongside the runtime — carrying motif, chorus, and tension across hours of screen — that kind of advance isn't splashy marketing. It's a confidence vote on the timbre, the vocal texture, the melodic ceiling of the eventual score. Whoever is composing behind the scenes, the marketing machine attached to their work has already been pre-paid for.
The Comic-Con Tailwind
The Ramayana trailer already had its global showcase. According to Mid-Day, director Nitesh Tiwari, Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and producer Namit Malhotra jetted to San Diego Comic-Con 2026, and the trailer drew what the report calls an "overwhelming response." A special performance followed the trailer screening — Mid-Day flags backlash for the moment being "out of context" — but the trailer did its real job: it primed a worldwide audience. Now T-Series owns the rights to every crescendo, synth loop, and quiet devotional breath that lands next.
On the Listening Radar
The biggest open question for anyone with headphones on right now is composer. No name has surfaced in the confirmed reporting yet, and with two parts still in production, the next loud note from the Ramayana universe arrives through T-Series. Whether the soundtrack leans into full orchestral swells, devotional chorus, or modern pop layering, the replay-value bar across the entire slate just got priced into a ₹75 crore ceiling. Bigger picture, audio-rights firepower at this scale echoes a wider media-M&A pattern right now — including the geographic revenue trends reshaping how retail media networks are expanding. Same playbook, different shelf.
