Wat a good post 👏
I really liked everyone's views which r not biased but reveal the aspect of their disagreement rather than complaining n bashing 😳

As to my viewpoint , when they started advertising the show I read somewhere in a article from ashish that this version of Ramayan will dwell on human aspects of ram rather than his godly behaviour , and I must say I m loving this version of Ramayan in SKR 😳 And this is wat exactly I like this version for 👏

And I agree to Mano completely too , One can watch it if he/she likes or else it's best to ignore it rather than bash it 😊 Ramayan is a epic , which has a lot of versions on different languages which in itself makes a point that different versions r acceptable in texts so y not in a serial !! As long as , the essence of Ramayan is maintained in the show it doesn't matter they show the humanly Side of all the characters in this great epic of India 😳

U seem 2 have much knowledge abt Ramayan. Only things pricking me r one that Dashrath never promised Kaikeyi's father as it was show n other, Shanta's marrying a Rishi was never linked 2 Dashrath not having sons, so her marriage was not a "tyaag". These 2 things i discussed wid my frnd who's very well versed wid various versions of Ramayan. All else animation etc is ok, even i love drama rather than just story, but i m not able 2 digest such big deviations like those 2 i mentioned above.



Whatever I have learnt is from the wonderful writers in the forum, who help me to understand the episodes better...
Cvs version of Shanta was inspired from a book called SITA ( I read somewhere in the forum only), and I guess it's written by Devdutt Pathnaik...
You can refer to it for further details...
As there are many versions of Ramayana, I guess there are different versions of Shanta 's story too...

TM I like your neutral take on the show...
I am not very well versed with Ramayana, whatever I know is purely based on the different versions of Ramayana which have been shown on TV, hence pardon me if I make a wrong statement...

First of all the show never claimed to be following Valmiki Ramayana or Tulsidas Ramayana or any of the other known versions... Hence I don't see any deviation but a difference in the pov...
About Chandrabhaga case it has not been discussed in detail anywhere, it maybe an addition by cvs as the want to explore Sita 's side of story...
About Shanta I think the show has taken inspiration from a book called "Sita ", so you may refer to it...
As far as Dashrat promising Kaykey' s father about her son being the heir of the kingdom, I think it might not have been written anywhere but implied in most of the texts...
I don't understand why Dashrat's actions are being viewed as wrong... Is it wrong to think for your Kingdom,
The way Shanta 's story played out, it was quite clear that Dashrat never asked Shanta make a tyaag... It was her own decision...
Yesterday Dashrat's dialogue was very touching, A king may do his duty, a student does his Kartvya, but what about a father, similar situation arisen at Shanta's case... Dashrat's silence spoke it all...

Now cvs are certainly showing Dashrat as a real and Janak ideal...
But does being real implies being wrong?
And Raja Janak being a Rajrishi and have been risen above all moh and maya is a fact...
Just that cvs are highlighting it...

I am actually liking the different aspects of Ramayana being shown in this version which might not have been neglected before, but certainly not been highlighted also...
One such aspect is Sita being educated woman..
And Ram being a warrior...


And about spl effects and all, I made a post before also
If our mythological characters were so heroic that they could free the world from the clutches of demons then why not enhance it with addition of graphics...

My personal take hopefully didn't hurt anyone's feelings




Rightly said. I am liking this new perspective of Ramayana, especially highlighting Sita and her sisters, never read or seen before.

It is obvious some facts may seem distorted or out of content but mentioning the source of their reference is a welcome change from the makers so that we get to know about that version of Ramayana too.

@Sonu I have read about Dasrath giving promise to Kaikeyi's father, since I have read couple of versions not sure which. But wiki also talks about the same
