So, I disliked this show, but not for the reasons most people are pointing out. My peeve was how Vishnu rested his left hand on his head. In the paintings, or even in the shows, it's shown so gracefully. But this time, the actor's palm was in such a mudra that it seemed he was trying to hold up his mukut! What the heck? Anyone here a south Indian classical dancer? You guys know the pose to show ksheer sagar Vishnu right? The left arm is kept pataka right?
Maybe he should just sit up and keep his left hand around his gadda, like Saurabh Jain in DKDM. This just seems awkward and ungraceful. And plus, this actor is kind of out of shape. That shouldn't matter at all if he turns out to be a great actor, but still.
But other than that, I will keep an open mind about this show. It doesn't seem so much of a disappointment. The Rajmatas were so perfectly cast. Kausalya had that soft motherly look to her, and I can definitely see Kekeyi becoming a negative character later on. She has that look or essence about her.
The major selling point in this show, however, was the wardrobe. I think whoever did the costume designing was a genius! This show just might have the best outfits out of all the new generation mytho shows! Even DKDM, which I love beyond anything, went the wrong direction in outfits. Nowadays, the women are so scantily dressed: Revathy, Khyati and Aditi in DKDM(Sati's outfit improved after she was married); Radha in JSK (the gopikas were more covered up than her); almost all the ladies of DBSK; even Sita in her initial episodes of ASR. But this time, the more traditional route was taken in that all the women wore traditional sarees. Plus, the fabrics, especially Kausalya's white piece with the gold gota embroidery were fabulous!
I am definitely going to give this show a chance. It at least deserves that. Instead of boycotting and outright declining to watch, we should see it first, and then be the judge. It's not going to make you any less of a fan of whichever Ram you prefer.

i couldn't really concentrate on anything else BECAUSE of his hand.and also well,umm his not-so-toned body 
i kept saying-they should have brought in saurabh jain here too! 
coz i relaly like him as vishnu in DKDM.
choice of actors to play kaushalya and kaikayee,i really liked.specially kaikayee 
even manthara.(sagar arts show aired on imagien tv in 2008 starring Rajat,Vikrant and Mugdha) they looked quite similar.

Kaikeyi's saree's in particular are beautiful., but I wish they chose an infant, lol. The kid looked 9 mths or something and babies are named much before that.
Aishu is right. The palace is the same one used in Dwarkadheesh and I remember many people complained then too. When they made the outside look so nice, could they not show a grand inside as well? Ayodhya was supposed to be made out of gold, and there was supposed to be brightness and color everywhere. The settings of this palace look so depressing.
and if that's true then the storyline will be very rushed and there won't be much opportunity to go in depth of Ramayan, which is more beautiful when deeply researched and understood.The following 2 member(s) liked the above post:
