IMO - @ bold - all that in shows like ramayana ... it looks out of place or OTT to me..too modernized.
at that time... girls specially princesses were not roaming around in streets or pulling carts... they were surrounded by other ladies/maids / care takers even if they go out... talking alone to stranger or fiancée is too much per that time... if they wanted to show that ... should have showed like... soul -to soul conversation (in mind)!!!
that repeated eye contacts of siya-ram - my husband was like... dude use facetime .... so we can see rest of the story!
I like urmila (I wish she was casted for siya) more than siya, lady playing siya is a great actress - does not give 'siya' vibe somehow... it is writing too, not only actor.
Yes the mordernization felt odd but it is good and not like Siya ke Ram where Ram ji asks Sita maa's permission for marriage
