Ram looks young, sleek, respectable and Handsome. Unlike Ram played by Arun Govil.who looked middle aged, fat and boringly sober. Sita is aggressive, dazzling and determined not a cry baby like the one in Ramanand Sagars Ramayana. Also she is much prettier and sharper than Deepika Chikhalia. Ravana looks more real compared to earlier Ravana. He is young and Manly. Not at all melodramatic.
When I think of Sita, I now always picture the actress Deepika, and same for Arun Govil. Anand Sagar's Ramayan may have better technology, but it twisted the story in some parts, and made it more dramatic. That's not what the Ramayan is supposed to be. It is supposed to be a holy and divine story. For example, many of the dances in the Anand Sagar's Ramayan are quite modern and has techno beats to it. What's with the funky dances in Sita's room? For heavens sake, she's supposed to be an incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi!
