Go to google and type in "August 19 2012 Ramayan" you should get something that works for you. Or else you can wait for Zee to upload it tomorrow in youtube, I'm sure you're not in that much of a hurry to watch it anyway.😆

I saw the other thread locked, so came here from there, even though I wasn't trying to discuss any episode, just make one observation

Namely, I think the show has done a smart thing by being a weekly, as opposed to a daily program. That way, they are not in the mad TRP rush, and also, the cast gets the entire week to put in their best performance. Also, the show doesn't get put under the microscope if TRPs don't do well, since it's a weekend show where that matters less. Oh, and one more thing - by spacing it out, they give people more time to 'forget' ASR, and focus on this as it gets to the more interesting parts after Sita's abduction and Rama's war w/ Ravan.

They've also gotten DD to simulcast it, which is interesting. Looks like they are trying to replicate the conditions of 1987 to see if this goes far. Unfortunately, the TV landscape of India is nothing like 1987, and that's well outside their control.

I hope the second episode will be better. I heard that this whole show is going to be only 64 episodes, which is shorter than the original Ramayan which was 78 episodes not including Uttar kand😲 and if that's true then the storyline will be very rushed and there won't be much opportunity to go in depth of Ramayan, which is more beautiful when deeply researched and understood.

Actually, I think that this will be one of the improvements over RSR. I remember, while watching it in 1988, they'd often drag out a lot of scenes. Like Angad walking to Ravan's palace when Rama sent him as an emissary. There was a lot of room for compression in the story w/o leaving out important details, and if they choose to do that here, that will be perfectly appropriate. So it's not necessary that 64 episodes will make the story rushed. Also, there is a lot that can be removed from Aranya Kand b/w Bharat settling in Nandigram and Sita's abduction.

Is Sagar Pictures Gone Crazy 😲, Showing the Game of Kalyug in Treta Yuga 🤣 !! This is the Biggest Blooper I have Heard Till Now in Any mytho 😆 !!

The "ball and stick" game is nothing new. Its history goes back thousands of years. Hockey-like games existed in various parts of the ancient world, from Africa to South America, Europe, etc.

Here's some ancient Egyptian and Greek 'hockey':

I agree, some of RSR's scenes were too dragged out, not only Angad walking to Ravan's palace but also some of the dialogues. The dialogues were nice, but some of them were too flowery in my opinion. Often, shorter and more precise speeches are more effective than long ones.

But even omitted all the long scenes, I doubt it would take out several episodes. In general, RSR's pace was good so I think a better number would be 75 or something, but I guess we'll just see how they do. If they manage well, it's a good thing and will improve their reputation after Mahavir Hanuman and DBSK.

Btw, are you following this series or no?

I also think it was a smart move to make this show a weekly. The Sagars must have learned some lessons after DBSK...their direction is not impressive enough to earn TRPs during the week, whereas in the weekends, most of the shows are generally watched since families are together.

I doubt this will prevent people from comparing the show to ASR though, or forgetting it. Most of the people following the show are RSR and ASR fans, just to compare the shows and see if it's living up to the Sagar's reputation when it comes to Ramayan. One of the cons of making this show a weekly however, is that people will become bored after a while, because they will have to wait a whole week to see what happens next. It worked out for RSR because population was different back then, but nowadays it's the daily shows, and their element of suspense, which grabs people's interest. In that viewpoint, MSR is against more competition to live up to people's expectation.

Historically this game may be correct, but in the treta yug? Explicitly in Ramayan? Does any source of Ramayan have that the brothers, or any characters, played something similar to hockey?😕 I highly doubt it. Plus, hockey has come to India recently only. Even in historical times India never had it, though other countries may have.
