Ramayan -what went wrong

I think the Ramayan track is the most inappropriately handled track in DKDM.

First of all there was no need to show Ramayan in DKDM. They could have simply shown the Hanuman part and moved on.

The rest of it could have been shown as a narrative especially when there are so many stories of Mahadev, Devi Parvati, Kartikeya, Ganesh etc. which are yet to be covered.

What went wrong with Ramayan?

1. People have already seen Ramayan and as far as i know Sagar's Ramayan has been the best of all. No one could beat it. And again Ramayan aired on NDTV Imagine which was OK successful and also on zee tv. The thing is that people have already seen Sagar's Ramayan which is so superb that they wouldnt want to see the same thing again and again. People watch DKDM because it offers something different. Something which hasnt been shown before. By that i mean Shiv-Sati and also Shiv-Parvati, Kali Maa, Durga Maa etc.

2. Unnecessary streching: The second thing that went wrong initially Ramayan was streching a bit too much. Just Ram lifting Shiv Dhanush was streched for 10 days. I mean people would surely get bored with this. And showing Shiv Ji in each and every frame and creating hypothetical non-existing scenes between ram & shiv , sita & gauri also didnt go down well. There was a bit too much streching.

Ram-Sita eyelocks in gardens, markets etc. were not needed at all. They looked so hypothetical. The essence of the show wore away because of made up stories of Trikon puran.Obviously people got bored and TRP's have been constantly falling.

3. Now completely sidelined: Now that they have relaised that Ramayan has not been working for them they have fully sidelined it and show it for 1-2 mins. Its an injustice to the actors who were roped in to play the roles of Ram and Sita. First unnecessary imaginary scenes and now complete high-handedness and ignorance.

I'm glad that DKDM is back on track and is again showing the stories of Veerbhadra, Mahakali etc. but i do hope that they give Ramayan a proper exist rather than brushing it aside like a dried up flower.

They could have ended the Raavan track and not gone to Ramayan at all after the Vaidyanaath Jyotrilng and they could have just carried on with Shiv stories. So many short stories can be shown.
Ramayan has no importance for Shivji but he was given more than undue importance there and creating too much fiction which caused the whole track to fail.

I think that they should never have brought even Ravan, since he doesn't invoke the admiration of viewers, and just kept showing Mahadev centric stories. After Jalandhar, they should have gone to Shumbha/Nishumbha, Andhak and others.

Agree with the TM and everyone else.

The Ramayana was clearly a waste.And to make the matters worse, the CV's included Mahadev and Parvati in every scene. I mean in which Ramayan versions it is written, that Mahadev comes everytime.

They are just doing two extremes. When they shoed they showed too much in detail, now they dont want to show till they finish vanvas...😕
