Fans request for retelecast of ‘Mahabharat’ ‘Chanakya’
MUMBAI: With Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar announcing the retelecast of the popular television serial of the 1980s, “Ramayan”on Doordarshan during the 21-day natonal lockdown, social media is full of request for retelecast of “Mahabharat” and “Chanakya”.
People seems to be having a rush of nostalgia about these serials, which used to dominate the television in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These epics aired on Doordarshan kept people glued to their TV sets. Everybody used to watch “Ramayan” and “Mahabharat” together with their friends and family. Those who didn’t have television at home used to visit neighbours to make sure they didn’t miss a single episode.
Now with Ramanand Sagar’s “Ramayan” being retelecast, everybody is eagerly waiting to watch it again, which reflects from their social media posts. Amid the nationwide lockdown, people confined to their homes have ample time to sit and watch hour-long episodes daily.
Talking about the same, a user tweeted: “#Ramayan to be re-telecast from Tomorrow i.e. 28th March, two times a day. 1st episode at 9 Am and 2nd episode at 9 Pm.
