Vadodara, October 13, 2008: The ultimate battle of Good v/s evil has begun. The time has finally arrived when the most revered Lord Ram will come face – to - face with the evil ten headed demon King Ravan on NDTV Imagine’s blockbuster epic Ramayan.
The battle, like any battle between two mighty forces, will be fiery and thrilling. Both sides who are equally powerful with the ‘Divya Astras’ (divine arrows) will use all strategies of warfare to succeed in combat, an intense and tough fight between the adversaries. Shri Ram’s army aided by his devoted brother Lakshman along with the Vanar Sena is all set to conquer the war. Above all he has the mighty Hanuman, Sugreev and Vibhishan (Ravan's righteous brother) on his side. Ravan, on the other hand has his sons, his brother – the gigantic Kumbhkaran and his royal army.
Produced by Sagar Art’s, the battle scenes will be visually exciting with never seen before special effects. The enormous scale of the war will be depicted on screen with hundreds of horses, elephants, chariots and soldiers on the battlefield from both ends. This battle will lead to some poignant moments in this great epic like the death of Ravan’s son, the fatal and traumatic injury of Lakshman, Hanuman restoring life back into Lakshman by carrying the entire mountain that grows the life-saving Sanjeevani plant and finally the death of the evil and demonic King Ravan.
The characters in this age old classic are essayed by Gurmeet Choudhary who plays Lord Ram, Ankit Arora who plays Lakshman, Vikram Sharma who plays Hanuman and Akhilendra Mishra who plays Ravan.
Don’t miss the beginning of this momentous stage of the Ramayan starting October 20th every Monday – Thursday at 9:30 p.m. only on NDTV IMAGINE.
