The Chinese adaptation of the epic Ramayana is set to be 33 minutes shorter than the original Indian broadcast, according to Mid‑Day.
Mid‑Day reports that the Chinese version of the popular Indian television series Ramayana will be trimmed by 33 minutes compared to the original Indian airing. The reduction is expected to streamline the storyline for the Chinese audience and fit local broadcasting schedules. Production teams have not disclosed the specific scenes to be cut, but the change is part of a broader effort to tailor the epic’s narrative to regional preferences. Viewers in China can anticipate the revised series to premiere later this year, with the adjusted runtime aimed at maintaining viewer engagement across the country.
