Raavan

Raavan is an Indian mythological drama series that aired on Zee TV from November 2006 to May 2008. The show reimagines the life of Ravana, the legendary antagonist of the Ramayana epic, shifting focus from hero to antihero. Rather than depicting him as a one-dimensional villain, Raavan explores the complex character behind the mythology—his ambitions, struggles, and the events that shaped him into the figure feared across Hindu tradition. The series blends historical drama with supernatural elements, tracing Ravana's rise to power and the relationships that defined his reign. Through this unconventional lens, the show examines how perspective transforms legend into history, offering viewers a fresh interpretation of one of literature's most iconic characters.
