After Doordarshan, Ramayan & Mahabharat Will Re-Run On These Channels

It hasn't been long since Ramanand Sagar's iconic show Ramayan and BR Chopra's show Mahabharat returned to the television screens after over three decades. These shows were re-telecasted on Doordarshan channel when Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a nationwide lockdown to curtail the spread of COVID 19. These shows were loved so much that they have broken all the records and made fans go crazy. And no, not just in India, Ramayan has even broken the TRP record of Game of Thrones and The Big Bang Theory and become the most-watched program globally. Yes, you heard us. On April 16, the officials at Doordarshan revealed that the shows’ viewers have crossed 7.7 crore viewers mark and become the most-watched television series in the world.

While many fans are eagerly looking forward to watch their favourite shows again, others slammed the channels and called them 'TRP hungry' as they decided to re-run the shows after seeing their popularity. Take a look at the comments:

Star Plus is showing this Ramayana only for their own benefit and nothing else

Trp ka bukhha sitara.. Mahabharat ka timing kyu change kiya? When will you telecast Mahabharat now? Usse bhi TRP mil rahi thi itni?!!

A few viewers even asked the channels to change the timings of the show as it clashes with Doordarshan's telecast of Mahabharat.

Request @StarPlus team to change the timing of Ramayan from 7:30 PM to 08:00 PM. It will be beneficial for both audience and your channel. Otherwise we will miss 1/2 hour of our Gem Ramayan because of our another Gem Mahabharata.

It's My Humble Request To You, @StarPlus Please Change The Timing of This Show, Because We Enjoy Mahabharat at 8 PM, If Ramayan Takes 30mins from 7:30 PM then it's okay, if not then change the timing please! 🙏🏻

Change the time because it's crash between mhabharat and Ramayan.
