Very sad news. The Sagar family has given us so much cultural treasure. From the original Ramayan to the 2008 version, they shaped how an entire nation views its epics. May his soul attain moksha.

Heartfelt condolences. While the 1987 Ramayan by his father is iconic, Anand Sagar's 2008 version also had its own charm and brought the epic to a new generation. A true legacy.

This is so sad. I remember watching the 2008 Ramayan with my host family in Delhi. It was such a beautiful production. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

A respectful note: while the Sagars did phenomenal work, I sometimes wish they had explored other epics like the Mahabharata with the same depth. That said, Anand ji's contribution is undeniable. Om Shanti.

The song 'Ramba Ho Ho Ho' from Armaan is an absolute classic! Didn't know he was associated with it. The man had range beyond just mythology. May his soul rest in peace.
