When the lights dim on the KBC stage, the real fireworks are about to start.
The promo, released last week, cuts between the trio’s laughter and Bachchan’s nostalgic flashbacks. He admits that as a kid, the only rule was to out‑blast the neighbour’s fireworks—"if the bomb on the other side goes off, ours has to be louder," he chuckles.
Behind the banter lies an epic: Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana will see Ranbir as Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, all set to hit theatres worldwide on Nov. 5 in six languages.
The 9‑p.m. slot on Sony Entertainment Television and streaming on SonyLIV is no accident—last season’s Diwali specials pulled in a 12‑point rise in viewership, according to Sony’s data, so the network is betting big on star power.
So whether you’re a myth‑lover or a trivia junkie, this festive episode gives you a taste of the epic and the camaraderie. Verdict: it’s a radiant gamble that could light up the ratings stars.
