Doordarshan on Tuesday in a blog post highlighted that DD Retro was set-up following the rebroadcast of Ramayana and Mahabharat that helped Doordarshan to surpass its own viewership records. Further, it was noted that Doordarshan has maintained its top spot in India for two consecutive weeks. “To relive the nostalgia of your favourite memorable serials of Doordarshan, watch DD Retro Channel,” the broadcaster said in its note.
