@paridhi perception varies and it is an article. I have watched 1986 version and the current one. Agree to you Ram-Siya of 1986 version were divine but the SKR one is more humane and the divinity is given through their actions.

And just like you who is a neutral viewer anda great mytho lover what I expect from both Ramayan and MB is that how we can have the learnings of those epics applied in this yuga. How can we understand the epics with respect to modern science which is so very much is there in them. Whether it is optics, newton's laws of motion, Theory of Relativity or the concept of energy , binary theory or E=MC2 everything is there in those 2 books.

1986 can be kept on a pedestal and worshipped no doubts about it. But SKR it brings the epic on the ground, to the realm of practicality, to the realm of karma, to the realm of logic and modern science. And that is the reason it is special for me. Because it helps me apply the learnings of the epic

yeah this realistic approach to situations is best thing about SKR...although sometimes they tend to distort certain things which is irritating ...1986 ramayan was good but even SKR is good in its own way...in fact I find madirakshi as best sita 👍🏼

The article indeed was an interesting piece of work...😆

I enjoyed reading all the posts...😊

Now coming to which is the best or worst I would think there has been drastic changes in the way people think/react to shows n films now...

My grandpa's PA...(fond of watching movies and articulate and blessed with a wonderful memory...) told us how people reacted to the film Nagin when it was released...

I rolled on the floor when he shared that 2 of his uncles got high fever and didnt go to office for days after watching it...

Some viewers started hallucinating after watching the movie and screamed at the look of a black ribbon too😆😆

Women fainted in the hall...screaming and wailing..😆

When Santoshi Ma film was released women in their colony went barefoot to watch it...

They threw coins on the screen...many lit incense sticks and started singing arti 😆😆

But today even children guffaw at the sight of Nagins on Tv ...forget feeling scared...

Today the viewers are cynical as they have been exposed to a lot thanks to the technology...

I dare a film maker to make another film on Santoshi Ma😆😆

So to cut it short I would say that the impact of shows done earlier was so because of varied reasons...

Today's viewer has a different perception...awareness...outlook..

So we cant keep saying only the earlier shows were great with absolute certainty...

Maybe they were good in certain areas...they appealed to people is what can be said, of course...

There were hardly any shows...less choice..in fact almost no choice😆

Devdas was made and remade...Both were different...When times change the need to show age old stories from a different angle arises...there in lies the skills of the maker...

So I will say I have loved SKR and have enjoyed it immensely...I relate to the story ...to the actors...music...screenplay...special effects...My salute to the PH for daring to make it in today's age ..👏

Interesting take ... the only thing I can say is this - 1986 version was a hands down classic, so no comparison!

SKR has held my attention thus far, only because it had something that the countless other versions apart from the classic couldn't deliver - good acting... Although the dialogues in the classic version were crisper, I can watch SKR as the script writers here are not doing a bad job either, which cannot be said for the any of the other versions that came and were washed out...

Nostalgia only - Dara Singh as Hanuman was AWESOME! PERIOD! Sanjay Jog as Bharat's scene with Kaikeyi was heart wrenching as were Sunil Lahiri as Lakshman's scenes with Ram... Ram's vanvas would not have been the same without Lakshman. Lahiri lived Lakshman. During Indrajit & Lakshman's epic battle, when Indrajit rendered him unconscious, even I shed tears, knowing that he was going to come back to life... Such was Lahiri's acting!

well, i guess ramanand sagar's would be the best but skr is still good so it's on the second place. i might put gurmit and devina's on the third place.
