n dear why ru bringing up the topic again ? there have been lots of fights and issues on this matter already ..this topic will lead to nothing but fights only...nobody is comparing the old MB and the new one..whatz there to compare when Ekta's MB has halted in between?
@Rajnish - plz don't take offence yaar..what she intented to say was that legends can't be recreated even if the creator is the same..Even if Ramesh Sippy remakes Sholoy, he won't be able to match upto his previous work....
but she's right about Ravan and a few dialogues ..half of the dialogues are copied from the old Ramayan or twisted in some way .......frankly speaking, I can't identify with Ramayan at all..I can't believe this is our Ramayan , our culture..it's overdramatized ... i'm not comparing it to Mahabharat or any other mythology...plz don't take offence since this is my view only

Charu, even you know that nothing can take place of the old Ramayan for me. The old Ramayan is my very life, because it was taken so beautifully. I am sure you know I prefer the old one to the new one, but unlike in the beginning, I like the new Ramayan now, not more than the old one, but I like it as another nicely taken Ramayan serial. The actors have also improved a lot, especially Gurmeet Choudhary (Ram), Prafulla Panday (Indrajit), and Debina Bonnerjee (Sita). Their acting is more pleasing now than it has been in the beginning, and I can see Gurmeet now in a Ram image. I don't think of him as Shri Ram like Arun Govil, but his acting and expressions now give off a Shri Ram aura, which is good. I agree that Akhilendra Mishra's lines are twisted and a little annoying at times, and his acting uses more force than necessary, but he too improved since the Sita Haran scenes, though he still does not contain the vigour and pride which is necessary for a character like Ravan. Arvind Trivedi in that was outstanding.
What I really appreciate in NDTV Ramayan is that they sticked to the story,👏 which is very very important. And the background stories which NDTV Ramayan shows is very helpful to understand the actions of some of the characters.
In the beginning of NDTV Ramayan, I agree that everything was a little dramatized and sometimes a little boring, but ever since the Vanvas episodes, it is really interesting now.
What I see in NDTV Ramayan which is retained from the old Ramayan was the bhakti towards God, and the spirituality that it teaches. NDTV Ramayan shows Shri Ram as Maryada Purushotham, just like it did Arun Govil 20 years back, and it shows Sita Mata as a Maha Sati, just like it shows Deepika 20 years back. I am not talking about the actors' acting, but the characterization of the characters. Hanuman in NDTV Ramayan, just like Dara Singh 20 years back, is really doing a wonderful job, and he gives off an aura of Bajranbali, the most devoted servant of Ramji.
While this Ramayan (for me) may not contain (in full) the warmth and devotion of the old one, it definitely seems like a Ramayan serial, and not a trash soap opera like KHMK. It has bhakti and shows the story as it happened, which is important.
I still like the old Ramayan much better, but I like this new Ramayan also, as it has taught me many things I did not know before. Mythologies, to appeal to younsters these days, don't need to be like KHMK. They don't need to use modern clothing, fake story plots, a modernized script, etc. NDTV Ramayan uses technology in a way that appeals to youngsters, but at the same time, it has not lost the soul of Ramayan.⭐️The clothing, the jewellry, the setting, the weaponry, is all modernized a bit to appeal to the new generation, but now overly like KHMK. In the end of the day, whether it is better or not than the old one, it is still Ramayan.
This is just my opinion.😊 I respect your opinion, but I only wrote this because you said you couldn't relate NDTV Ramayan to our culture.
