"Written by G. D. Madgulkar and the songs being composed by Sudhir Phadke, Geet Ramayan was acclaimed for its lyrics, music and singing. It is considered a "milestone of Marathi light music" and the "most popular" Marathi version of Ramayana."

"The team of Madgulkar and Phadke presented a new song every week for a year with every song being aired first on a Friday morning and then again on Saturday and Sunday morning.... The program& #39;s first song "Kuśa Lava Rāmāyaṇ Gātī" was aired on 1 April 1955."

"Though Geet Ramayan is based on sage Valmiki& #39;s epic Ramayana, Madgulkar chose a different narrative format and was praised for the lyrics, and was called Ādhunik Valmiki (the modern Valmiki)."

"The Geet Ramayan is considered as "the crescendo of Madgulkar& #39;s literary vigour". Phadke mainly used ragas of Hindustani classical music to compose the songs. He also selected the raga and the Tāla of a song to suit the time of the incident and the narrative mood."
