Ramayan

I saw this series in my childhood and could associate myself only from the religious point of view . Now that I am aware of a little bit working of this world , when I am watching this series again on DVD , I can understand why Ramayana as a epic is so relevant in modern times . It gives a message of love, peace , harmony and dutifulness with the right dose of righteousness in all our actions . The narrative is simple and the characters very true to life .Most of us in India at least understand religion as a sacred duty and not in day to day affairs of life , which ideally it should be. This series , had for the first time explained , with warmth the importance and fun to be righteous and humble in every sphere of daily life . Whoever wishes to improve his life a little more must see and understand from Ramayana.

This show is masterpiece and is recommended to each and everyone. Thankful to makers of the show that we were witness of the era.

Ramanand Sagar researched many versions of the countless Ramayan written by countless poets in the journey to produce this masterpiece. This version of the Ramayan is mainly based on Goswami Tulsidas Shree Ramcharitmanas. Even after almost 30 years and many follow-on versions and attempts by others, the depiction and narration by Ramanand Sagar is on a different plane. The music, visuals and singers are all enchanting due to the innocence and the type of cinema of the 1980s. Ramanand Sagar managed to extract near perfect performances from all the characters of his cast. Thank you to Ramanand Sagar for producing this masterpiece.

Rama, was such a figure who never went out of the limit. Even he maintained dharma, in even bad and worse time.

This is great learning for the world to understand that in any worse situation, we should not loss control and should not be self centric...

Sagar's original Ramayana was literally brilliant. The show had ensemble cast. Everyone just nailed it in their respective roles. But my favorite performance was Sunil Lahri's performance as Lakshman. I think no one has given such an impressive performance in Laxman's character till date. What can I say about Arvind Trivedi's performance as Ravana? He just nailed it. Arun Govil and Dipika will remain Godly figures for people. But above all big thanks to late Ramanand Sagarji for creating this Gold.

Doesn't matter how many versions of Ramayana will come but this Ramayan will remain Gold. If you are fan of Mythological/Devotional shows than you will never get bored of watching Sagar's Ramayan and B.R. Chopra's Mahabharat.
