Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, which was a rage in the late 1980s, has made a ThePrint asks: Ramayan on DD: Best way to keep India’s elderly indoors or show the young TV beyond Netflix? Youngsters might watch Ramayana out of curiosity but won’t abandon their favourite shows Shailaja Bajpai Editor (media) & editorial skill development, ThePrint Ramayan is not going to keep anybody at home, young or old, there’s a coronavirus lockdown for that. It is, however, a reminder that there used to be television beyond streaming channels, before DTH and cable TV; that there was a world where millions of people sat together and miles apart to watch the same TV show at the same time, week in, week out. For those old enough now to have watched the original telecast in 1987-88, it is pure nostalgia, a chance to revisit an old familiar friend and remember what it meant to have a TV box set with just one TV channel. It speaks of a simpler time, a time when the telecast of the mythological did not signify either the rise of Hindutva politics or a blow to secularism. Back then, it was a plain and simple, rough and ready dramatisation of a much-loved epic, as much about human values as the supernatural antics of Hanuman or Ravana. Today’s youth will not abandon any of their favourite shows for Ramanand Sagar’s series; if they watch it at all – does anyone watch DD now – it will be out of curiosity, to see what their grandparents or parents loved so much. Perhaps they will marvel or l...

Everyone took a casual suggestion to mean the prime minister wanted the Ramayana and the Mahabharata on DD. There was no time to spare, no tenders, no shortlisting. Two Bombay filmmakers, Ramanand Sagar and B.R. Chopra, were asked to immediately produce the epics. Rajiv Gandhi had asked for Ramayan! That is how the biggest moment in Indian television came about. However, adversities never left Papaji. There was a continuous barrage from the press and the bureaucrats criticising the show and wanting to get the telecast truncated as early as possible, even during its unprecedented success as a cult classic. Bhaskar Ghose refused to give Papaji an additional twenty-six weeks so that the show could be stopped midway. But the addiction to Ramayan in the country was so strong that if it had stopped, the whole country would have been hurt. Despite Ghose’s many efforts, the broadcast of the show did not stop. Papaji sought permission to continue with it, directly from H.K.L. Bhagat, who was the I&B minister at that time. Ghose’s dictatorship still did not end. He told Papaji that by reducing the Hindu element in Ramayan, it could be made a little more secular so that it could be watched by diverse viewers. This meant that there was no unity among the Hindus, and their ascendancy could be in danger. But Papaji did not give up, despite all these conspiracies by Ghose. Nor did he agree to any kind of compromise in his direction of the show which he felt could not be stopped or change...

The actress criticized the gesture of Kriti Sanon and Om Raut in public. She told Aaj Tak that she feels it a common problem with today's actors that they cannot live a character or understand its emotions. She says Ramayan is just another movie for them. Dipika Chikhlia says it is rare that they have felt the character in their soul. She said that Kriti Sanon was an actress of the modern generation and that it is common to hug or kiss people in your social circle. Dipika Chikhlia says Kriti Sanon might not have seen herself as Goddess Sita. She said it is a matter of emotion. She said she lived the role of Maa Sita and she has considered it as just a role. She said actors would move on easily from one role to another as a film gets completed. She said such emotions do not matter once a movie is over. Also Read - Dipika Chikhlia said no one had guts to call her by her name. She said people would come and touch her feet when she was in her get-up as Maa Sita. She said times were different. Dipika said that people really assumed her to be the human manifestation of the revered figure. She said she could not hug any one, a kiss was a far off thing. She said after the release of Adipurush, Kriti Sanon and Prabhas would get busy with new projects and forget the character. She said after the release of Ramayan she was treated like a literal Goddess who was residing on this Earth. She said this kind of love and devotion made her respect the sentiments of people a lot more. Also R...

Govil and Dipika: familiar icons A first glance everything seems to be wrong with Ramayan, Ramanand Sagar's TV serial that started late January. Deities float around the sets flashing laser beams, Ram and Sita fall in love around a bush, Ram is always having his feet pressed by Lakshman, the Sita swayamvar goes on forever, Raja Janak's palace looks like it's been painted with cheap lurex paint and the clothes look like they've been dug out of some musty trunk in Chandni Chowk's costume rental shops. Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan has all the finesse of a high school function. And yet seldom has a television serial aroused such a phenomenal response. In Meerut, where load-shedding was timed for Sunday mornings during Ramayan's transmission time, residents complained to the authorities and got their power back. In Umbergaon, where the serial is being shot, villagers drop down on their knees when they see hero Arun Govil because they feel Ram has come back. And paanwallas everywhere have started pulling down pictures of young starlets and pinning up those of Arun Govil - who plays Ram - with his beatific half smile. In Bombay, the Sagars have been deluged with fan mail. One man sent Sagar a cheque for Rs 5,000 for the videotapes of the serial to give to his daughter as dowry. A woman wrote to say that she makes her blind son touch the television set every time Ramayan is on because she thinks he will get his eyesight back. A scene from the serial: Tacky sets As television rating po...

As television began to dominate living rooms of middle-class Indians in the 1980s, a serial based on the epic Ramayana was broadcast on the State-run Doordarshan channel. It became so popular that entire neighbourhoods would gather in front of one television screen in the area, people would drop errands and rush home in time to view the show, and the streets were deserted when the show aired. By some estimates, one in eight Indians watched the show, and advertisers rushed to fill in the slots. It broke viewership records both in north and south India. The maker of the serial, Ramanand Sagar, took inspiration from Valmiki’s Ramayan, but let his imagination run riot. The serial was often melodramatic and over-the-top in its aesthetics, but the serialised epic held viewers’ attention week after week. While the serial was conceptualised and put on air by the Congress government hoping to capitalise on the Hindu vote, it ended up benefiting the Sangh Parivar, which at that time was busy campaigning for the Ram Janmabhoomi movement. Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan laid the foundation for Hindu nationalism and reshaped the public sphere in India irrevocably. It contributed to the Ram Janmabhoomi movement by acting as a magnet for scores of young recruits for the Bajrang Dal. It brought the epic closer to everyday life and introduced an idea of Ram’s birthplace that was in sync with the Ram Janmabhoomi campaign. While harking back to a prehistoric golden era, the serial changed the chara...
