Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan was not only popular when it premiered for the first time on television, but broke several records when the mythological show was brought back on DD National during coronavirus lockdown.
After it's successful return, Ramayan is all set for another re-run on the television, this time on Star Plus. The show will air at 7.30 pm every day, starting Monday from May 4.

Along with this, B R Chopra’s mythological drama Mahabharata is also making a comeback on Colors TV. The show will be broadcasted from Monday to Friday from 7pm to 9pm, starting May 4.
Both the mythological shows have earned immense popularity in India due to their narration and direction. While a lot of directors tried to recreate the shows later, none of them went on to become as successful as these.
