Buses stopped running, religious services (Hindu and non-Hindu) were rescheduled, and everyone stopped what they were doing for 30 minutes every Sunday morning to watch the ancient Indian epic brought to life on television. When "Ramayan" aired, India (even then having a population over 900 million) came to a standstill. Ramayana stands out as one of the greatest story ever told. This series is a collective effort of brilliant direction, dedicated team work, brilliant acting by almost all the lead actors, great music and story with full conviction. All the songs, bhajanas are so soulful and divine. One of the other main highlights of the show is the music by Ravindra Jain. The script and all the dialouges, the shlokas are extremely faithful to the original Ramayana and every efforts have been made the story sticks to originality. He fits brilliantly in the role of Hanuman. The portray of Dipika and Sunil Lahrii as Sita and Laxman were also spot on.
His smile, his every expression is so pure and calm, Its as if you are seeing the real Ram on screen. For almost all the Indian, Arun Govil symbolises Ram. The portray of Arun Govil as Ram was the masterstroke. Those days technical aspects were limited but then also Ramamand Sagar made a masterpiece. This is by far the bestest adaptation of Ramayana on Indian Television. I watched this show as a kid, re watched this several times on DVDs, and now watching it again because Doordarshan is bringing this show back to TV.
