Your views on Uttar Ramayan part of the serial - Page 3

I agree. We all want a complete and authentic serial.

In my opinion Luv Kush of 21 years ago was too short so I was hoping this one to get longer and complete. I dont want it to be long with fiction.

It's not fiction. It's the new and improved Ananda Ramayan, which is a lot more modern than Valmiki, and therefore a lot more accurate😈

Another major issue I have with the serial is its depiction of the moral environment in Valmiki's ashram (no less)! The whole idea of sending Sita there, as opposed to say Mithila, was that she'd not have to put up with the gossip or the 'odium' that would result (although I still believed that had she been sent to Mithila, what she would have received would have been sympathy).

Start on day 1, when Sita was on her way to Valmiki's ashram, first thing she hears is villagers gloat about Sita being banished, which infuriated her. Next day she hears others attacking Rama for being so cruel. Then when her kids are born and Luv wants to go to the forest, instead of backing her on her objections, both the 'nani' and Valmiki override her.

The worst specimen they could have picked was Vikralt. This guy is a treta yuga punk, no less, so how does he find a home in the ashram? When Vikralt lures them to Takshashura's cave, no action is taken against him for luring them, and worst was yesterday, when during a fight, he taunts them with them not knowing who their father was. People there weren't as shameless as to ask such questions, since kids from all backgrounds did come there for their education.

Regardless of which Ramayan version is being used here, such a depiction isn't far different from the account in Ananda Ramayan of Rama asking Lakshman to cut off Sita's hand and bring it to him as proof. Such a disgusting depiction of an ashram, and that too of the original composer of the Ramayan, is not just uncalled for, but does nothing to enhance the story. The morals being depicted are bizarre - it's okay for other elders to override a mother's objections to her kids, it's okay for a punk to run loose and indirectly cause more misery to an already miserable woman, and the conversations around the place are more akin to that of an Ayodhya paan shop rather than an ashram.

If anybody is talking to the Sagars re: the feedback on the show, this is a major one. Next time Mallika, Chatter, Chandni, Akhl or anyone else talks to anyone from the Sagars, please tell them this - their portrayal of the moral climate in and around Valmiki's ashram is unacceptable.

Frnds, these days I am very much disappointed of many deviations from a great epic.

1. Kush Luv are true resemblance of their parents and never lie norput their mother in grief every time.

2. All the residents of Valmiki hermit love these kids and remaining children are followers of these two.

3. On 9th march episode it is shown that Ramji had stopped taking food in middle. This is the most worse thing (I feel). As pointed by Laxman in previous episodes, Ramji will never insult Goddess Annapurna. By leaving the dining table, he won't also insult other family members (although his grief for separation from his wife is untolerable for him)

4. Why these kids are not learning music? I mean Ramayan Song. It is the main intention of destiny to overcome the ambiguity in society.

I request not to show Sagars in this way. This will definitely show bad impact on audience. They are going in wrong tracks.

Fully agree w/ you on #1 & #2.

On #3, I agree with you in the sense that Rama would be completely mindful of the fact that his brothers and nephews are also eating, and that if he shows signs of grief, they won't enjoy eating either. But from a family setting, whoever arranged it would have had to be pretty idiotic to have all the brothers sitting together with their kids: seeing the kids, and that too being fed by their mothers, Rama couldn't have but been reminded of Sita and his unseen kids, and under that circumstance, eating would have been impossible. If Rama had to eat with his brothers, the sensible thing to have done would be not include the kids and wives, but that would have necessarily meant depriving his brothers of some family joy of eating together. The best plan would have been for Rama to eat alone, where he could have eaten stuff similar to whatever Sita ate, instead of the normal royal favorites, while each of his brothers would have eaten w/ their families. Yeah, won't be the same as pre-exile Ayodhya, but after marriage, families do and did 'grow apart'.

#4 is yet to come, or may come later. Note that only Valmiki has the kids singing to Rama's yagna attendees. The others that have the battle scenes generally just have the re-union and Sita's exit after the battle and no music. Of course, Valmiki is more authentic, but given how the Sagars have violated his storyline, this sort of a departure would neither be the first nor the worst. (The worst has already happened - Vishnu and Lakshmi being shown enjoying in Vaikuntha, while Rama & Sita are in a wretched state suffering Durvasa's curse on earth, making a mockery of the original curse).
