Doordarshan is never a participant in competitions. It becomes a competition or it is nowhere to be seen. Take the case of TV. The repeat telecast of Ramayana during the COVID period became the most watched series ever in the history of television. Mind you, we are talking about international history, not just Indian television.
And we are not talking about some distant past thing. It was just 4 years back, so Doordarshan is not something that people can take lightly.
Now with the OTT app, things may repeat but at the same time, it looks a little difficult.
A new serial is about to stream on Waves OTT and it has the potential to attract audiences from a wide set of audiences.
We are talking about Kakbhushundi Ramayana. The grandson of Ramanand Sagar is making the series and he will show about the Kakbhushundi episode from the sacred epic.
It will not replicate the success of the original Ramayana due to obvious reasons, but it will certainly create some sort of curiosity among people. It will start streaming from Monday onwards on both TV and OTT.
Let’s see what all it does. Keep following Binged for all the updates regarding the OTT industry.
