Not Appreciable (all casting, dialogs in Tamil and also Hindi version) I don't like the director's way of narration. Just terrible. This Ramayan is quite elaborative and understandable. However, the Tamil dubbing is unconvincing and fails to capture the essence of the original performance. We grew up watching the Star Plus Mahabharata dubbed in Tamil on Vijay TV. Their dubbing artists were phenomenal, and their work felt so realistic that we never felt like we were watching a dubbed version. The dialogues resonated deeply with us, and some of them are still very much loved. The Star Plus Ramayan also has the potential to be just as impactful. However, the current Tamil dub for this Ramayan falls short. Every dialogue feels flat, lacking the power and nuance of the original. There's also a stark contrast between this Ramayana and the one that aired on Sun TV in 2008-2009. The casting in that version was excellent, and the dubbing by Sun TV was phenomenal. It truly holds a special place in the hearts of many, and the Tamil dialogues were exceptional. The current dub, unfortunately, feels rushed and lacks the grandeur of the previous versions. The Star Plus Ramayana(Siya ki Ram)( Seedhayin raaman) offers a glimpse of revolutionary thinking through Rama's character. When presented with the Ashwa Medha Yag tradition, which involves sacrificing a horse, Rama questions its necessity. This act of defiance against a long-held belief sparks a discussion about blindly following customs, especially when they potentially cause harm. This resonates with viewers who might be re-evaluating established norms in their own lives. This perspective can be seen as revolutionary in its own right, highlighting the importance of honoring tradition while remaining flexible in the face of changing circumstances. These contrasting portrayals in Ramayana, Siya Ke Ram, and Mahabharata showcase the power of storytelling. Different interpretations and adaptations can emphasize various aspects of these epics, influencing the audience's perspective on tradition and social change. By delving into these narratives and questioning their messages, viewers can engage in their own form of revolutionary thinking, challenging their own beliefs and potentially sparking positive change in their lives and communities.

In this serial, Rishab Luthra should have been a protagonist. He is genuine, decent, humble and always he respects women. He didn't do any misdeeds to anyone. They portrayed his way of talking and approaching people as really humble. Even though Karan is his brother, he stands up for Preeta and stands against Karan's aggressive behavior. They should have paired Preetha-Rishab and Karan-Sherlyn. Because The character Karan Luthra doesn't deserve to be hero. In one hand he married a girl named Preetha and leaves her in the mid way, on the other hand he tried to marry another girl Myra. He did all these, just for the sake of taking his revenge on Dr. Preetha. Even though Myra is a negative character, he did injustice to her as well. On the other side, the heroine Preetha, after exposing Sherlyn and Myra she should have rejected Karan for all his misdeeds. But she tolerated all of his toxic behavior and hatred, also re-married him. What kind of plot is this? When world is talking about women empowerment, it still shows a old tradition which says whatever a man does to the woman in married life, they still supposed to protect a relationship and even tolerate every thing for a man. This kind of message shouldn't be consumed by people. Rather than showing Preetha, a good girl who can go any extreme in order to save her husband's family, they should have made her a bold girl who can go to any extreme for her self respect and against male dominance. she could have come out of married life after making him to realize that he is wrong. However, the show's initial phase offered a breath of fresh air. The friendship between Karan, Preetha, and Rishab was awesome. Karan and Preetha's friendly bonding felt genuine, and the sense of humor shared by Srishti and Karan was highly commendable. Sameer and Srishti's friendship added another layer of delight to the show. Unfortunately, the narrative strayed from this promising path, focusing on Karan's negativity and Preetha's tolerance.
