The Coronavirus pandemic has put most people in a lockdown. With home quarantine and social distancing the only way to control the spread of deadly COVID 19 right now, people are looking for different forms of entertainment. Doordarshan has stepped in at just the right time to bring back old shows, giving people a sweet nostalgia of their growing up days. Iconic shows like Ramayan, Detective Byomkesh Bakshi, Mahabharata, Shaktimaan, Shriman Shrimati are being retelecasted now. People who have grown up watching these shows are of course elated to get to relive the olden days again, as they sit at home during the quarantine period. And looking at the popularity of these shows, netizens are making memes on how the popular streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime and the likes will take a backseat as more and more Indians will now switch to Doordarshan! Circus Returns!

These days, even the regular TV soaps have been telecasting old episodes as the Coronavirus lockdown has put a stop on shooting of serials too. With not much to look for on the TV other than the news, Doordarshan is bringing back its iconic content, which we all hoped we could watch over again. The first show to return from the 90s was Ramayan which was retelecasted on March 28, with two episodes daily. Starting today, Shaktimaan will be aired on the channel. Shaktimaan was our very own superhero, remember? Netizens are even questioning when the show will be aired and the telecast schedule. The excitement to catch up on these shows is too high among everyone. On the very same context, people are making funny memes on how the streaming platforms will have to face competition from Doordarshan. Shaktimaan is Back on Doordarshan!
