Ramayan...an ageless story ...
If I go down the memory lane I recollect many things...
Nanaji chanting shlokas from Sundar kand...How often he quoted them whenever he had to referee the numerous wars I had with my cousins 😆 we would just gape ...
Dadi reading Ramayan...
Buas repeating the lines religiously...
They all knew it by heart...
Well what about me..😆
I remember the abridged versions ...Which I had read n reread...for a quiz was to be conducted in school...😆...on Ramayan..And I scored well..
I had watched R Sagar's show too...mainly becoz there wasnt much offered ...and also because everyone at home watched it...
Then came SKR...
I didnt want to watch the show as the story didnt end on a happy note...
I was apprehensive..
I remember the long discussions I had wid my friends before it started...we voiced our opinions freely..Would it be or not...a great show...??
How glad I was when I heard the leads sharing how this show was to be different from the previous shows ...both in approach and treatment...the focus was more on the human aspects of Ram and Siya...
I felt relieved...as I cud connect better with that..
And so I started watching...
The show took me by surprise...
The grand sets...the backdrops...the massive preparations...the casting news...we pondered over all the aspects...
Every piece of news indicated one thing clearly..
the team was putting in their best efforts...and it wasnt a repeat of the Ramayan..
I loved the intros...the music..the songs...
Everything about the show mesmerized me...
The child actors were perfect...
Everything looked believable...majestic...
I couldnt take my eyes off the screen...
The story kept unfurling..It charmed me...The scenes were shot beautifully...
The locations looked real...
The grandness of the show was maintained throughout..
The costumes...jewellery..makeup...special effects...all were perfect...
And the characters ...
how wonderfully they emoted...their each emotion could be felt...
Even the smallest thing wasnt overlooked ...
I cant name the episodes that left me overwhelmed...I just felt them...Words cant describe them...
I never sat in front of the TV with a set mind...with a long list to be tallied..😆...
Whatever came as unexpected I took well...I had faith in the team...And it didnt disappoint me..
I wish the best for the show...
I am thankful to the SKR team for creating this show...
