Notably, the epic poem by Maharishi Valmiki contains over 24000 couplets. The Ramayana has 500 chapters (Sargas) and 7 books (Kandas). The Bala kanda, Ayodhya kanda, Aranya Kand, Kiskindha Kand, Sundar Kand, Yuddha Kand and Uttara Kand.
Sundar Kand (Sundara Kanda) is the only chapter of the Ramayana in which the principal protagonist is not Lord Ram but Lord Hanuman. Sundar Kand is about the journey of Lord Hanuman to Lanka and the work depicts his adventures, his selflessness, strength and devotion. Moreover, Sundar Kand is regarded as the heart of Ramayana's Valmiki.

Furthermore, the buzz also suggests that Ramayana Part 1, scheduled for theatrical release on Diwali 2026, will focus on Bal Kand, Ayodhya Kand and Aranya Kand. Meanwhile, Ramayana Part 2, scheduled for Diwali 2027 release, will explore Kiskindha Kand and Yuddha Kand.
If the buzz is anything to go by, the standalone movie in Sunny Deol may be released sometime between Ramayana Part 1 and Part 2. Of course, all three parts will be interconnected and the first two parts will have a cue for the following chapters.
However, fans need to wait for an official announcement from the makers.
Meanwhile, after Yash, Ranbir and Sunny's confirmations, the excitement level among moviegoers has elevated. Even fans have pinned high hopes on Nitesh Tiwari after getting disheartened with Prabhas' Adipurush, helmed by Om Raut.
