After 'Ramayan' and 'Mahabharat', DD to rerun 'Shri Krishna'

New Delhi: Doordarshan saw a massive jump in its TRPs ever since the re-telecast of epic shows Ramanand Sagar's 'Ramayan' and  BR Chopra's 'Mahabharat' started. The fact that they kept adding and bringing back old shows like 'Circus', 'Rajni' 'Byomkesh Bakshi' and 'Shaktiman' have only made the audiences happy amid the nationwide lockdown to fight the deadly novel coronavirus outbreak. And now, another epic show from the 90s - Shri Krishna is about to re-run on our television screens.
