All twenty answers

If you would rather just read them, here is the full set.

Where these come from

The first half draws on the Valmiki text, which runs to seven kandas and roughly twenty four thousand verses. Several answers differ in other versions of the story, and that is worth knowing before you argue with anyone about them. The Jain retellings have Lakshmana kill Ravana rather than Rama. Some Southeast Asian versions make Sita the daughter of Ravana, which changes the abduction entirely.

The second half covers Nitesh Tiwari's two-part adaptation, which opens internationally on 6 November 2026 and in India on 8 November. Ranbir Kapoor plays Rama, Sai Pallavi plays Sita, and Yash plays Ravana while also co-producing. A. R. Rahman is composing the songs and Hans Zimmer the score.
