come to think of it, it's kind of suprising to see raavan as a negetive charecter in the show even if mr. neelkantan is a part of it.

I haven't been watching this serial, but today, I just dug back to see the priceless Ravan jaap of Mandavi. Saw the Jan 13th episode, and my, was that funny!!! Actually, Urmila being vocal in her support of Rama made sense, but Mandavi being such an advocate of Ravan was just hilarious!!! 👏

It's tragic that she won't get to marry Ravan. Or will she ❓😆

This is kaliyug and in this yug we empathize more with those characters that are closer to our general makeup, to our characteristics.. So is it a wonder that fiction writers 'base' their story on the Ithihaas of Ramayan and Mahabharath but empathize with the dark and grey characters? It's because a lot of us feel the need to assure ourselves that we are not bad.. If we have some qualities of Raavan and Duryodhan in us, it is easy to justify those characteristics than take some action to remove those shades from us to become better. That is why we see people argue that it was Draupadi's mistake to laugh at Duryodhan and Karan that led to her vastra haran.. That is why we blame Shri Ram for Sita's exile instead of looking within us and accepting the fact that we would have done the exact same thing the washerman did if it suited our needs... instead of removing that sense of prejudice and gossiping nature from inside us.

I do not have an issue with fiction writers taking liberties but the fact that they peddle it out as the 'right' interpretation sighting volumes that are also just interpretations of the actual text is what is wrong.. It is important that they make it clear that the take was not based on any fact from the actual Ramayan.. To keep saying we referred to 300 versions of Ramayan is in itself self-contradictory.. How can an epic written by Sage Valmiki during the times of Shri Ram be the same as the numerous other versions written way later by others who would have based their writings on the Ithihaas?

Ithihaas in itself means 'it so happened'.. The argument that there is a version of Ramayan that said a different story is basically wrong.. It should rather be, there was a fiction based on Ramayan with liberties taken probably sometimes to the extreme.

To add extras to the narrative as poetic license is all good as long as it says that..

In Valmiki Ramayana, Parashuram comes after the wedding, after the vidaai, while the baarat is on its way back to Ayodhya.

In Tulsidas' Ramcharitmanas, Parashuram comes right after the swayamvar. As the story of the swayamvar itself is from Ramcharitmanas (Valmiki has no swayamvar), previous serials on Ramayan have shown Parashuram come after the swayamvar. Previous serials' swayamvar sequence is an exact (nearly word for word) rendition from Ramcharitmanas, including the Parashuram episode.

As SKR is using Kamban's Ramayana as its source for the swayamvar, I do not know when they will show Parashuram.

i am in extreme anger on this show. enough distortion.

I thought the entire court rises when the princess enters for swayamwar.

due to some electrical malfunction i missed the episode, could somebody tell me what happened in the show?

Arijit I just watched the last part when sita enters the court

a day full of unfortunate events has fall upon me i guess.

Today was more or less a filler episode, the story didn't progress much.
