And several others were extraordinarily entertaining. Many others like Surabhi, Bharat Ek Khoj, Mahabharat were highly informative. Serials like Alif Laila, Malgudi Days, Shrimaan Shrimati are especially close to my heart. We can experience many of the classics as they are uploaded online. The magic that they had can't be replaced. Popular Yesteryear TV ShowsÄo you remember the old Doordarshan (DD) shows that you watched so affectionately? Those days were special and will not be forgotten. I have been trying to look up the old serial Trishna from Doordarshan which used to be aired in the 80s/90s (Cant remember).
Trishna's stunning visuals capture the contrasting landscapes of a country in shocking transition, while the score by Shigeru Umebayashi (acclaimed for his work on Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love) breathes passion into the budding romance before infusing the ensuing tragedy with a painful beauty.Circus, Gul Gulshan Gulfam and Nukkad are some of the serials that come instantly to my mind when I think of the good old days of Doordarshan.
The 80s was the era of Doordarshan with soaps like Hum Log, Buniyaad and comedy shows like Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi which made Doordarshan a household name.
