The show is a limited-episode series which released in 1989. King Khan played the role of Keval, a village boy who goes to town and stays there. DD has had a phenomenal response after it began airing shows like Ramayan, Mahabharat, Shriman Shrimati, Circus, Byomkesh Bakshi and Fauji.

In fact, due to the re-telecast, Ramayana even went on to become the most-watched show in the world. A tweet from the official account of channel Doordarshan read: “WORLD RECORD!! Rebroadcast of #Ramayana on #Doordarshan smashes viewership records worldwide, the show becomes most-watched entertainment show in the world with 7.7 crore viewers on 16th of April”.
