For the longest time, people have loved Doordarshan as it was their only source of entertainment. However, the emergence of modern technology became the reason for many such shows to be cancelled or ruled out. However, the current lockdown situation in the country has made fans of Doordarshan happy as the makers once again decided to air Mahabharata and Ramayana on the channel.

Doordarshan made an announcement following the 21-day lockdown situation that they will air reruns of their iconic shows. These shows include 'Ramayana', 'Mahabharat', 'Circus' and 'Byomkesh Bakshi'.
