Star is a commercial venture , at least for TRPs they'll might not take that risk

That's true, but see what they did with Mahabharat. For TRPs, they portrayed the show through a modern lens. There were many distortions, one can't deny. So I highly doubt their Ramayan will be free of distortions. I just hope they're not distortions that insult the characters, like Zee's Ramayan.

These great epics have been interpreted and reinterpreted so many times it is hard to say what is accurate and what is not.
We just have to watch it purely for aesthetic reasons and hope that the production houses retain some semblance to the main story...

I just hope they don't portray Ram as a villain in Sita's life.🤔When they said it was from Sita's POV I felt a bit apprehensive, but if they do a good job, then it'll be interesting to see Baal Kand and all in Mithila than Ayodhya, Sita's childhood, her relationship with her sisters, etc.

The show is going to take a long time to air. Nothing has been confirmed yet. They just released the teaser in fear that someone else would copy their idea, since such things have been happening lately, lol. I doubt anyone in the cast has been chosen.

@bold
Exactly same fear!

Even in star plus Mahabharata they just twisted the original story!

Karna was more highlighted than arjun!
Arjun was shown weak compared to karna!!!!!!!

I just stopped watching mythological shows!

Lets see hw this show turns out!

Even Ramayan that , they showed in DKDM was a big mess and 😲Which, Ramayan character was insulted ? Never got to watch Zee Ramayan

There were several major distortions in Zee's Ramayan which insulted the characters' purity and greatness:

1) The upsara Rambha is sent from heaven to delay Ram and Sita's marriage so that it happens on an inauspicious moment (thereby bringing about Sita's abduction ). They showed all the men of the wedding party (including Ram) being enchanted by Rambha. So yeah, Ram who was always devout to Sita, was enchanted by an apsara.

This whole interference by the Gods was not needed at all, as the main purpose behind Ram avatar was to kill Ravan. Ram and Sita's marriage happened at a very auspicious moment. Even today, many marriages take place at that time so that couples have the love of Ram and Sita.

2) They showed Bharat jealous of Ram in childhood. Whenever Dashrath would show favoritism towards Ram, Bharat would get jealous. 🤢 This is an unforgiveable distortion, as the brothers were never jealous of Ram. They were devoted to him, and they competed with each other for Ram's love, never with Ram. If Dashrath favored Ram, the brothers favored him more.

3) When Sita enters the household after marriage, Kaikeyi is cruel to her and humiliates her in front of everyone. Kaikeyi is a typical Zee Tv saas in this Ramayan. She considers Sita's family lower in status to Ayodhya's, which makes absolutely no sense. 😕

4) Shatrughan violently beats up Manthara after he finds out about Ram's vanvaas. She pleads with him to let her go but he continuously beats her up. No matter what she did, she was an old lady and the epic Shatrughan would never have done that. 🤢

5) Vasishta organizes a competition between Ram and Bharat, and whoever wins would get the throne. Ram lets Bharat win and Bharat is announced the rightful heir. At first Bharat is actually happy about winning, and then he turns around and gives the victory to Ram. This Bharat has some major issues with Ram.

6) In the Ashok Vatika, Sita reaches into Ravan's waistband and grabs his sword, threatening him to let her go. Sita never willingly touched Ravan, not even to free herself. This is a major distortion.

7) All the way in the beginning, after Sita Swayamvar (but before marriage), Urmila visits Lakshman in his bedchamber to spy on him to see if he loves her. Women back then, especially princesses, never went into a man's bedchamber if he was not her husband. This Urmila was very modern.

There were many more incidents, but these are the only ones I remember now. I watched the whole show to see if it would improve at any point, but it never improved. The distortions were horrible, more horrible than even Starbharat's.

@Maverick,

Oh yeah, DKDM's Ramayan sequence wasn't great either, but that's because they inserted Lord Shiva in all the places in which Ram is the main character. The distorted the story to show Lord Shiva more important than Ram, which is wrong since both were equal.

If they do a separate Ramayan, maybe they won't do this mistake.

Sounds really horrible 🤢 especially points 1, 2, 5, 6, 7. I can recall one more scene in which Lakshman targeted his bow & arrow to Sita Mata 😲 I just saw it in precap and did not sit in front of TV to watch the full episode. That horrible precap was enough for me to stop watching that serial.

Oh yeah, that was another major distortion. It was actually not Sita Mata that Lakshman aimed his arrow at. Apparently, a rakshasa entered Mithila to get revenge on Ram (for killing Tataka and Subahu) and takes the form of Sita to get close to him. Somehow, only Lakshman knows this and kills that rakshasa (in the form of Sita). When Ram asks him (looking shocked, because Ram apparently doesn't know anything) why he killed Sita, Lakshman explains everything and the real Sita comes there at that time, clearing up the misunderstanding.

The whole thing was a silly bogus story without an ounce of truth. 🤣 1) Why would Ram not be able to recognize a rakshasa? He may have acted as a human, but he knew his divinity. 2) Why would a rakshasa enter Mithila? Bala Kand was supposed to be peaceful and happy. There were no issues with rakshasas besides Tataka, Mareech and Subahu. 3) Lakshman would never kill someone, even a rakshasa, without his Ram Bhaiyya's permission. The Lakshman of this Ramayan was very high-handed and independent, lol.
