That 90s shows were class apart, was no hidden fact. However, what is also an encouragement these days is the fact that mythological shows have huge takers in the audience, case on point being Doordarshan's Ramayan and Mahabharat. The 90s shows made by Ramanand Sagar and B.R.Chopra respectively were loved then and are still loved by the masses if the shows' TRPs are anything to go by. For those who are still unaware, DD decided to re-air Ramayan and Mahabharat amidst the on-going nationwide lockdown and ever since, the shows have been creating history. The premiere week saw Ramayan break records, with Mahabharat following closely behind. And the mythological shows continue to dominate in their third-week telecasts too.
