Malgudi Days- this serial needs a separate post. Harish Bhimani’s voice as “main samay hoon” made great impact in Mahabharat. People used to do pooja of TV before starting of these serials. Though technically poor, these two serials created mass histeria for TV selling.
These serials made life of Arun Govil (Ram), Mukesh Khanna (Bhisma), Punit issar (duryodhan), Rupa Ganguli (Draupadi), Dipilka(Sita) etc. Ramayan and Mahabharat- how can we mention doordarshan without Ramayan and Mahabharat? Literally there was Curfew like situation on Sunday mornings when these two epics were telecasted. Most of the serials were of 13 episodes and so people were associated with character for 2-3 months and it made more concentrated and sensible serials. Let’s check out some goods and bads of Doordarshan and our memory power. The one and only daily entertainment dose of every Indian.
Doordarshan is the birth place of some of the today’s successful personalities of Indian cinema so … Let myself be 10 years old and get back to late 80s and early 90s- the era of Doordarshan.
