Phadke mainly used ragas of Hindustani classical music to compose the songs. The Geet Ramayan is considered as "the crescendo of Madgulkar's literary vigour". Though Geet Ramayan is based on sage Valmiki's epic Ramayana, Madgulkar chose a different narrative format and was praised for the lyrics, and was called Ādhunik Valmiki (the modern Valmiki). The program's first song "Kuśa Lava Rāmāyaṇ Gātī" was aired on 1 April 1955. 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, between 8:45 AM and 9:00 AM IST. It is considered a "milestone of Marathi light music" and the "most popular" Marathi version of Ramayana. Madgulkar and the songs being composed by Sudhir Phadke, Geet Ramayan was acclaimed for its lyrics, music and singing. It was broadcast by All India Radio, Pune in 1955–1956, four years before television was introduced in India. Geet Ramayan ( Marathi: गीत रामायण, English: The Ramayana in Songs) is a collection of 56 Marathi language songs chronologically describing events from the Indian Hindu epic, the Ramayana. The book compiles narration and lyrics of all the songs from the radio program.
