Of course the language that the showmakers use is indicative of the times we live in (and consequently I find the more modern remakes of Puranas unbearable to watch). One of the other great flaws of this version is the language. By having the show look fantastical owing to CGI, the creators indirectly portray the epic to be mythological.
To many people including yours truly, Ramayana is historical, and not mythological. Except, of course when they use CGI to enhance the sets. The sets are beautiful, though, for the most part. Ravindra Jain's music score is, as usual, rather flawless. Like the episode of Lord Hanumana displaying Rama and Sita in his heart. The series has its moments, though, that are really good. It's funny because Ramanand Sagar's version lacked only on technical grounds, while this one does a horrible job of using technology despite having access to cheap computer power and graphic talent. The CGI is bad, and detracts from the story. There's just too much of it, and it's flat out bad. Even though Ramanand Sagar lacked all that CG imagery back in the 80's, the makers of this version had access to it, and tried to make up for several versions of Ramayana in one go. The major problem, quite ironically, was CGI and technical effects. All the other characters were okay'ish to well cast.
The casting is mostly great, though falters quite a bit when it comes to key characters such as Ravana and Indrajeet, The character of Rama and Laxmana is quite accurately portrayed by the actors, though again, Ramanand Sagar's casting was more appropriate. that version was the closest I have found to be able to actually portray the characters of Gods and gods. While Ramanand Sagar's portrayal lacked in the technical department significantly. Attempts to picturize the epic have been made before, and will continue to be made over the decades and years.
