Keeping people at home has never been such a tough job before. But Government is doing everything to make sure they don't venture out even if it is for some fresh air. Doordarshan announced the reruns of its hit 80s show Ramayan and Mahabharat among many others like Shah Rukh Khan's Circus. People who have memories of the iconic shows when it first aired are glued to their TV sets while the generation after that is amused. But Gen-Z is going one step ahead. A social media bred generation flourishes when it uses the medium and that's exactly what Twitter is experiencing. Ramayan on DD National and Mahabharat on DD Bharati, Here’s The Schedule and Telecast Time for The Ramanand Sagar and BR Chopra Mythological Shows on Doordarshan Channels
Given the fact that people are actually watching the shows on TV on DD National and DD Bharati respectively in 2020, Twitterati has come up with some interesting memes on how Doordarshan has managed to push away Netflix, Amazon and the other streamers who have seen a surge of viewership due to the coronavirus led lockdown. Check them out here...
