hello frns its my first and probably the last post in this forum...i m watching ramayan from day one...so far i m disappointed the way the whole ramayan is being presented hockey scene the protrait scene the tadka fight were below average...today's epi was also disappointing ... ahilya was turned into stone not into statue as they showed here and lord rama incidently step over the stone not purposely... lord rama never claimed himself to be a god as they are trying to protray him here.it was that wen rama stepped over ahilya ahilya got liberated and told the story by herself and that she was awaiting for him..this scene of stepping on the statue looked weird coz if rama wanted to free her he can touch her by hand too y to step like this...😲 very poor presentation😕

and the starcast is also disappointing😕...leaving sita ram and lakshman other actors are not good...either they overact or they are plainly below average👎🏼...i m dispapointed with the choice of urmila dont they consider her important if they can chose good actors for tadaka and ahilya they could chose a nice actress for urmila too..🤔.

But wasn't Ram having to free Ahilya using his feet was also part of the Ramayan? It was even shown in the Imagine's version where even here, Ram used his feet to free her :

Lord Rama never claimed to be god. Valmiki ramayan treated him as a extraordinary human. In Adhyatma Ramayan he was considered as god and treated as such. Tulsi Ramayan, on which all these TV ramayan's are based follows adhyatma ramayan. So this portrayal is not wrong.

While I agree that the supporting cast is disappointing, the story shown of Ahalya was not wrong. If one follows only Valmiki Ramayan and thinks other versions are inaccurate, then it may be wrong for them, but this story is shown very clearly in Ramcharitmanas.

Ramcharitmanas's story is what has been used in the 1986 and 2008 Ramayans, and it's used here too. Remember, this show in particular takes Ramcharitmanas as aadhaarit, so why would they show Valmiki's version of the story.

In Ramcharitmanas, Shri Ram himself never claims to be God but he acts in Godly manners many times throughout the epic. Saint Tulsidas portrayed him in a Godly manner while Valmikiji portrayed him more as a human. Neither is wrong, it just depends on which version makes you feel closer to God. I love both.

i dont want to hurt anyone's intention nor i m against the creativity of the directors so far i have read shri ram steps on the stone lying in his path not on any statue purposely...maybe it is correct but i dont like the way they presented the scene here ...gagan streching his legs and putting his foot on ahilya was looking weird really it left me to wonder y to purposely put the foot on the woman statue he can touch it by hand too the fact thats bothering me is the presentation and the way gagan enacted the scene i m not against the actor i felt it so shared...morever the previous epis are disappointing too..

and as far as starcast is concerned no comments on that...i m not here to argue ... i am done with the show and before leaving needed to convey my thoughts to the ph and cv... have heard cv read the comments...

thanks for sharing i watched the clip here too shri ram stepped on the stone not on the woman statue and here the stepping was done subtly which is pleasing to watch while here stepping put forwarding one giant step on woman statue looked weird hands down to this ramayan...

I am not against your opinions dear, as I agree with most of them.😳 Even I'm not satisfied with many aspects of this Ramayan. It has been hastily directed and more research could have been done.

As for putting his hand on Ahalya's statue, that's not how it's written in Ramcharitmanas. They cannot change the story simply because a hand could have been used, could they? Also, God's feet has a special place in puranas. They are said to liberate a person spiritually from this physical world. Kevat drank the water of Shri Ram's feet during Ayodhya Kand and was liberated. Likewise, Shri Ram putting his foot on Ahalya's stone is symbolic because the dust of his feet liberates his devotees. Ahalya was purified when Shri Ram put his foot on her body. Take this also for example. When we show respect for elders, we touch their feet, not their hands right? Handshakes or the touching of hands are done between friends or equals, but when a devotee pays his/her respects to God, they touch his feet because God is the master of this whole universe, so when God shows his grace on his devotees, he gives them a place at his feet.

But I agree that the way this scene was shown seemed weird. Instead of putting his foot on her, Gagan placed his toe which was odd.😕 But that's just the presentation of this scene which I agree could have been done better.
