#PromoReview: Star Plus' Siya Ke Ram

When a mythological show aims to recreate the Ramayana from Sita’s perceptive, it’s already a winner in our eyes.

Star Plus’ Siya Ke Ram opens with a palatial setting, surrounded by luscious green trees, majestic horses and kids playing around without a care in the world…yes, half a second into the show and you feel that you’re watching a big-budget Bollywood flick. The sheer grandeur makes you want the promo to last a while longer.

Siya Ke Ram, produced by Nikhil Sinha, recreates the epic tale of Ramayana from Goddess Sita’s vision than Lord Ram’s. It’s essentially her love story, her battle, and her tryst with destiny. Would Tulsidas’ magnum opus be any different if he had narrated it from Sita’s angle?

What we loved about the promo was that the young Sita was dressed like any other girl without overbearing her with jewelry and heavy lehengas. That’s a nice touch, which makes the show more relatable and realistic. A special mention to the background score that lingers with us even after the promo has ended.

Watch the promo...you will definitely be sucked into the world of kings and queens, rights and wrongs, and good and bad...

The show stars Madirakshi Mundle as Sita, Ashish Sharma as Ram, along with Tanvi Madhyan, Prithvi Hatte, Bijay Anand, Yukti Kapoor and Bhargavi Chirmule. It debuts on TV on November 2, 2015.
