DD’s Ramayan to now air on Star Plus from 4 May! - Page 2

Don't know why star plus jumping like this. If at all it was to be re telecasted it should have been on doordarshan only..

Maybe after a gap of few months.

Oh well I also hope there r no cuts

Plus if you look at other way once lockdown lifted and permission given to reshoot the shows then all these re runs may take back seat.

Clearly SP is trying to profit from the popularity. -_-

Why not just rerun it again on DD? SP has no connection with this show.

Either way, I hope at least THIS time we get the WHOLE entire show unedited. Otherwise, it's no different from watching the DVDs, which are already edited versions.

DD won't rerun it because of SK I guess. 😳

Either way, it's a win-win for the viewers! 😃

Ya I wish they show Vikram betal and Dada Dadi kahani as it has almost same cast in different roles.

I myself would love to watch them again

I really don't get why Ramayan is famous today as it was in those days as I saw a glimpse of some scenes and found them hilarious as graphics those days were too bad. Ravan kidnapping Sita seemed so false and most of the fight scenes that weer famous too looked fake. I can understand the acting was great but you don't connect with such scenes now. Recent Mahabharat was just fab but are they telecasting it now?

Also heard about the actors demanding royalty but when no agreement is signed, they won't get anything. I don't see even today's actors having any royalty agreement while the actors of Friends are minting even today from the rerun of their show.

Ramanand Sagar's version is about the emotion and authenticity of retelling a historical epic. Yes the graphics were bad, the vfx was chalky, but the effort they put in to make the show was what makes it so iconic.

The show's objective was spreading awareness about Ramayan, it wasn't monetary. Thats why it touches your heart. Coz it feels real and genuine not just a product made to earn from.

There has never been a better Ram, Sita, Lakshman...name the cast and the casting was apt. Yes the new MB was great with special effects, but I couldn't see the historical people in the actors if ukwim.

Whereas looking at Arun Govil you get the feeling that haan bhagwaan Ram aise hi honge. The closest any current show got to such apt casting was DKDM...until Sati's death that is. Post that they only got bigger names and popular faces.

Royalties are traditionally not supposed to be given to actors, because they earn the most from shows. However this is an exception case. The only reason actors started demanding royalties in the West was because since they did such iconic characters, there was a chance they wouldn't break out of that image or get any roles. Thats why the cast of shows like Friends, TBBT, The Office get royalties. So the cast should get royalties but it depends on their contracts and if Sagar Arts manages to draw a new one if possible.

ROFL ROFL

Phiir jub ramayan star plus me end hoga phiir uske baad ramayan star Bharat pe aayega phiir uske baad Sony pe aayega , phiir uske baad & tv mein aayega phiir uske baad zee tv pe aayega phiir colors pe aayega

I was never into mythological or historical shows as most of the time they seemed false but the recent Mahabharat forced me to watch it and have never seen a show better than it. Ofcourse they spent a huge amount just like Bahubali.

I can understand that people love that cast but the serial made those actors get no good work after that as people never saw them as normal humans even after the show ended and most of the actors couldn't get much work or take up roles that they wanted to. People expected them to behave as God even after the show which is why I feel they deserve some royalty.

Not sure I am not excited by this news. Ramayana had brought back the glory of DD.

SP taking it and benefiting from it isn't something I would like

Plus does this mean that DD will lose the right over Ramayana? God forbid if such situation reoccur in future they won't be able to air it?

Star Plus had already aired reruns Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan and Shri Krishna a few years back when they rebranded the latter as Krishna Kathayein, and just before that both of them were rerun on Sony TV, so I don’t think there’s any rights issue. It doesn’t seem like a big deal, just capitalizing on the current popularity as expected when they can’t create new content. The problem will be when the lockdown is over and they green light 20 other new mythos based on this popularity, each one worse than the next 😆

Doordarshan being the original broadcaster had access the extended versions of several deleted/edited scenes which they started to show after viewers complained; for example, the Kaikeyi-Bharat reunion and the extended Sita-Ram dialogue and song before her departure for Valmiki’s ashram which are not on the DVDs. Star Plus did not include these, and in fact added some random newly recorded songs, so I imagine they’ll air that modified version they have access to. That’s the downside. The bright side is that presumably, a retelecast in the era of streaming means that they’ll also put it on Hotstar which means it might reach even more people.

It is in star utsav ramanand sagar' s ramayan ,br chopra Mahabharata and shree Krishna use to come

Well by the time the new Mahabharat was made historicals became hugely popular so definitely they had higher budget. Yeah well it depends if Sagar Arts manages to make a new contract. Like I said, this show is an exception case (like Friends, TBBT, The Office) since the actors got recognition but no work after that due to the strong image. So they definitely deserve royalties.
