The Ramar effect

My son did not want to miss it inspite of exams the next day. He did forgo all other game shows for the day. That is good news for the Sun. Ramayana if it can bring kids to it then it is a sure winner. The Tamil dubbing and the frequent songs may not be a winner formula for the Tamil audience but the divinity attached to the purpose will get female audience, the die-hard religious people and later the computer graphics more kids. And when ram is in sun TV guess who in kalignar TV? Kalaignar himself reciting his pet subject. Don't tell me he is competing with Ram.
