Seems like the lockdown is the best thing to have happened to Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan. Featuring Arun Govil, Dipika Chikhlia and Sunil Lahri in lead roles, Ramayan has become the most-watched entertainment show, not just in India, but around the world. Apparently, Ramayan broke world records with 77 million views on April 16 night. More interestingly, it even surpassed the viewership of popular sitcom Big Bang Theory’s finale episode and even Game Of Thrones.
Netizens started comparing the show with the very popular English sitcom The Big Bang Theory starring Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kunal Nayyar, Kaley Cuoco and others. The back-to-back, two-episode finale of the nerdy sitcom’s 12-season run drew 18.5 mn live viewers on May 16, 2019. Game of Thrones had around 17.4 mn live views in its finale episode
A soon as Doordarshan’ official Twitter handle posted about the show breaking world record, netizens started trending #RamayanSetsWorldRecord.
