i don't think so tht mahabharat & krishna wud do any harm to the trp's of RAMAYAN !!! 😛 😛 WE all watch RAMAYAN as we all love the story of RAMAYAN sooooooooooooooo much & can watch RAMAYAN zillion sof times again n again !! 😛 the story of RAMAYAN is the most tragic stories of the world where LORD VISHNU & GODDESS LAKSHMI tolerated all the pains in their lives 😭

i love watching mythological shows which r really soulful & made wid great dediaction like THIS RAMAYAN ON NDTV imagine ,this RAMAYAN has got soul in it ,all the actors are doing soulful acting & we all r soooooooooooooo happy !!! 😛

i saw the RAMAYAN SERIES when i my cablewala used to show it every saturday & sunday 3-4 yrs back !! but i am loving this new RAMAYAN SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH !! 😛

WE ALL know RAM-SITA were true soulmates !! they were 2 bodies but one soul ,there wud hv been terrible situation in which sita banishment happened , RAMJI wud hv almost died from his soul & mind when he was separated from sitaji !!! 😛

i wud def. b affected if i get to see debina in any glam avatar !!! i wud def. not like it !!!

As youngsters do Mytho click with you - Doesn't seem like it does with everyone, by the way people act today, I don't think so. This is "kalyug", but I seem to understand it.😳

Old values do they resonate with today's times? Old values are not valued any more, if it did we won't have orphanage or old people's house.

do you think mahabharat and krisna will eat into ramayan popularity - Ever show is unique in it's own way, I don't think it will.😳

this is 4 females do you think myto have unfair to woman( sita banishment) - Well, if you want me to be honest then yea. Especially when we are talking about Sita's banishment. Some Ramayan's say that Sita's banishment was just a drama, the real Sita was in heaven with the god of fire, but even if it was fake. Ram shouldn't have done what he did, I agree it was for his kingdom. But no man is good, if he doesn't know how to respect a woman.

And last but not the least if Debina comes in glam images will it harm your sensibilities - Mine, a little. But then again, it's "kalyug" it all seems normal these days.😆

Guys i am a journo who also writes for IF. i would like to know your view point on the following

Welcome🤗
As youngsters do mytho click with you

Yes, mythologies click with me a lot. I am 19. And I love the stories in our scriptures and their great teachings.👏👍🏼

Old values do they resonate with today's times?

Times have changed. What is good at one time may not be good at another. But I do believe that essence of the old values must be preserved even now. Of course, they are not preserved but they should be. Values like truthfulness, performing one's duty with dedication, respect for elders, affection for youngsters etc. are always important.

do you think mahabharat and krisna will eat into ramayan popularity

I am not much aware about the upcoming serial Krishna. But I am sure that Mahabharat will not eat into Ramayan's property. I am saying this not out of any sentiment but there is a logical reason for this. Some of those who are watching Ekta Kapoor's Mahabharat are watching because they are interested in the epic Mahabharat. But so far portraying epic is concerned, Sagars are known to be much better than Ekta Kapoor. They are more knowledgeable in epics and do better research. Therefore, so far interest in epic is concerned, a mythology by Sagars is not going to lose any popularity because of a mythology by Ekta Kapoor.

There are many, who are watching Ekta's Mahabharat because they are interested in seeing their favourite actors. Lots of established Balaji actors are working in Mahabharat. But the viewers of Ramayan are not concerned by that. When Ramayan started, then the actors Gurmit, Debina, Ankit etc. were not that well known. Still, they have left positive impression in the hearts of viewers with their excellent acting. Those who like Ramayan, if they were really interested in seeing Balaji actors, then instead of watching Ramayan, they would have watched K-serials. But they like watching Ramayan. Therefore, their interest in Ramayan is not going to diminish just because Balaji actors are working in Mahabharat.😊

have u watched the old series with arun govil comparison

Because of my age, I did not watch the old Ramayan when it was telecast. 😭But much later, I watched most of its episodes from some other sources (e.g. DVD).😊 The comparison between old and new is inevitable. Often people consider old as standard and judge the new one accordingly. Still, the new Ramayan is being liked by many. This proves the beauty of the new Ramayan serial.👏

In the old Ramayan, I liked the acting of Arun Govil, Dipika and many others a lot. In the first few episodes of new Ramayan, I always used to compare Gurmit with Arun Govil and Debina with Dipika. But the actors of new Ramayan are doing such an excellent work that I do not compare any more.👏

This is about acting. Now, let us talk about story and direction. Here, I find that old Ramayan was more resarched. May be this is because Ramanand Sagar was more knowledgeable in Ramayan than his sons. Of course, at many places, I felt old Ramayan as too slow but overall it was very good because enough details were shown. In comparison, I found some important details missing in new Ramayan. However, I am happy that Sagars corrected lots of mistakes by showing some of these details through flashbacks.😊

I wish Sagars concentrate even more in bringing out the emotions. And they must use more of real scenes rather than animations. This is because the animations used in Ramayan are not that good. It is very easy to see that they are animations.

Let me also add that I am pointing out areas of improvement in the new Ramayan. This does not mean that I do not like this serial. If I really did not like, then I would have written my views for first few episodes and then stopped watching this serial. In fact, I love this serial and I wish it to be even better.

this is 4 females do you think myto have unfair to woman( sita banishment)

I am male.😛

And last but not the least if Debina comes in glam images will it harm your sensibilities

It depends on what kind of glam role she does. Glamour without vulgarity is always acceptable. But if there is vulgarity, then it will definitely hurt at least in the beginning.😆

totally agree wid u di. More over Ram-sita separation n reason behind it were elaborately discussed is this forum. It was harsh but happened because of some good. See earlier how people of Ayodhya misundestood Bharat n shunned n disrepected him when he retuned Ayodhya after Daharath's death. He was shunned n disrespected by people though he was absolutely innocent. Sita too was facing same thing. People of Ayodhya might have revolted aginst Luv-Kush n rejcted them as heir of Ram, had Ram not done that
Ram's love for Sita never changed. She was his beloved till his last breath People misunderstand the true meaning of Uttar Kand. They comment on Ramyan without reading it form first chapter to last

Thanks Mr Anil Merani and plz read our views patiently :

(1) Well I dont think theres a single youngster who dont pray. We all pray and that shows we are into mytho but ok watching mythology actually a good mythological serial always impress every age people.Though some youngsters dont accept this, as they feel seeing mytho serial a bit old fashioned but this mentality should be removed as early as possible. Without God we cannot do anything so atleast must spare time watching these serials.
I love watching mytho serials. We dont have enough time to read scriptures so its best to learn from mytho
serials, rest all saas bahu stuffs are there in our real life but Lords now only can be seen on TV.

(2)ok reg old values we cannot follow exactly but yes theres traditions still going on. Noone can be like Lord Ram (who opted exile for fathers word). With time everything change but love,respect and care resides in everyone and this show values.

(3) Definitely not. everyone here given all possible views and I totally agree with them.
Wanna add, many of us here agreed to the point that while praying lord Ramji n Sitaji, Gurmeet and debina comes in mind ofcourse in their Ram-Sita look not in their modern look.
With their superb acting they reached level that their posters of RAM-DARBAR should come. There were many more
popular mytho serials before but Ramayan is a special one. They all deserve playing these characters.
Stories of all 3 are different and completely waste to compare Ektas Mahabharat with Ramayan.
Ekta is just playing with youngsters , am really very disappoint the way they showed Draupadi,dushashan n duryodhan. very cheap, In books draupadi name always written as second Laxmiji,
and see how they portrayed her. DUshashan n duryodhan with expressions were like villains of todays movie.
With all this they are hurting souls of real draupadi, dushashan etc.. It look more like tribal Mahabharat.
Well as Krishna will be from sagars so def gonna rock and the results wld be "Our love will
increase for Vishnuji for being RAM N KRISHNA."

I must say Sagars now should make Vishnu puran as well. They are the best in making mytho.
Their show directly enters our mind n heart.

4) Both Ramayans are the best with times. Old Ramayan was a bit slow but ofcourse was more detailed one.
but this Ramayan is magical. Comparisons are there
(1) def as gurmeet said in intreview, ARun Govil expresses lot from smile but here gurmeet with dialogues. This Ram is more like Human , he never expresses that he is lord and aware of proceedings like old one. We must learn the way this Ram act on situations with following rules and regulations thats Maryada.
(2) dipika as sitaji was more soft types but here debina show her courage and faces situation boldly.
(3) Old brothers, mothers they all dont look like family but these new Ramayan characters really look like family.
(4) Love betn Dashrath n Ramji beautifully covered here, they look like real father and son affection.
(5) Love betn Ramji n sitaji ahhhh more real this time esp during swayamvar both created magic. They look like made for each other. Arun Govils n dipikas way to look at each other werent that magical as like gurmeet n debina.

(6) GURMEET is the best as Ramji. Arun Govil was best with acting but Gurmeet deserves even praises we read on books for lord Ram. Like when u read description of Ramji, his eyes(Kamal nayan), lips, body, n all def Gurmeet comes in mind. Perfect one to play this role. His face actually has grace of lord Ram and with expressions he take the place as well. He really born to play this role.
Sagars give Ramji to viewers in 20 years. But dont want any more, wanna lock GURMEET as Lord RAM. No one cld be so perfect like him. He is a perfect Human Ram

(5) I say yes definitely they were unfair but to teach us. As far as for SItaji,I believe all what happened in RAMAYAN was to teach us the way to react in situations.Like Sitaji went to exile with Ramji teaches love, duty, support towards husband instead of being in home with facilities.
Then sitajis abduction was wrong with reason that Ramji abducted her for Praja. Ramji wld have supported her at this point but actually they did all this to teach us if coz of any circumstances husband and wife wld be separated then also dont loose hopes and perform duty like Lord Ram n Sitaji did. Lord Ram dint married anyone else, he lived loving sitaji always and sitaji lived the same way for Childrens.BOth of them took care of kids as single parent. So theres not necessity to marry twice or thrice.
But in old times womes were not safe as today and they were used like anything. One King having many wives. all this is is not good and in battles winner even takeover females very cheap and disrespect towards women.
Sometimes they treat females like things instead of a human being.
Todays world is much better for womens in any respect but now womes are loosing their grace m not talking abt all some special types.

(6)No I dont mind debina in glamorous role. I like her from the bottom of my heart and anything performed with decency are acceptable. But yes shld not go for Item songs.
Debina as Sitaji and as debina are different. So even we shld think in two ways. Like noone else can replace
debina from our mind as SItaji then why wld she playing some other role wld effect her Sitaji image. we will def accept actor played Ravan in positive role and even if ll play dharmatma now then why to play with debinas career.
SHe cant live life playing Sitaji always.
I Love both Gurmeet And debina alot and May they get best work always with love and appreciation.

You dint ask for Gurmeet but I would like to say DIrectors, producers, story writers must must must write a strong script keeping him in mind. He is soooo talented that his talent should not be wasted. I havent seen any actors yet who perform all kinds of emotions with this ease. He is a brilliant actor, very handsome, very appealing, loved & appreciated by all age people.
He could be like others (am talking of actors playing diff role) but others CANT BE like him means cant play Lord Ram like him. HE IS THE BEST.........
A PERFECT HUMAN RAM

i love this ramayan from the core of my heart. Cant do without it. Love gurmeet and debina as ram and sita. Ramayan didnt need established actors to attract viewers.:) instead made new actors established. As far as mahabharata its like an eye sore. As if its a mockery of the tale. Its looking like a fancy dress party by established artist. . There is no comparison. I saw mahabharat on the first two days didnt see on the third day and don want to see any more. We are seeing erics on tv to learn about history instead of reading fat books. It should be as close to reality as possible like the new ramayan.. Keeping the modern life of people the pace of ramji walk and talk is faster than the previous one :-) sitaji'debina' is more confident and courageous than the ever sobbing sita of the previous'deepika' one. Ramayan has also evolved with the twenty years time gap but extremely acceptable. not a dirty drama by actors which mahabharat is looking. I as said earlier have accepted debina as a successful actor from a mare new comes so like an ardent fan would like to see her in different roles.
