Anand Sagar's Ramayana was a welcome diversion from today's soap operas, and became an instant hit. The Sagar family, which scored television's biggest triumph in the 1980s with the first Ramayana, takes you back to the story of Rama in a new spectacular way.
India's greatest epic was retold on an epic scale, and even dubbed for audiences down south.
Gurmeet Choudhary made Ram perfect while Debina Bonerjee's strong portrayal of Sita was praiseworthy.
Surprisingly, Ekta Kapoor's take on the other epic -- in her show called Kahaani Hammaray Mahabharat -- did not fare as well.
