This is probably the best TV serial of all times. The Title song is just wonderful. It is so nostalgic that it reminds me of those lovely days of the 80's when I was in junior school, and it also reminds me of my beautiful hometown and friends. We used to sit and watch these marvels from Doordarshan in Black & White television sets after finishing our studies and homework. Life was so simple those days, and we enjoyed it to the fullest. Malgudi Days was interesting stories from rural India. Simply Evergreen!
I watch it again and again, even my ringtone once was the title song of the series, there is so much one can learn from this serial. I am a big fan of this serial and Sir RK narayan and it's a work of one of the finest director of his time shaker nag. my frvt episode is of a grand mom who is in every picture of every home in malgudi episode 40 and; one in which a English man gives so much of rupees to a shepherd as he thinks he is the owner of the sculpture he wants to buy and ends his poverty episode 41 ; also the road roller one and one with postmaster making mud toys, when I was a child I all wanted to visit this town once when I grow up. But now the series makes me happy.
The most memorable serial ever made for Doordarshan. Thirty years later, its innocence still touches a chord. Unforgettable performances by a brilliant set of actors from South India.
Boy, do I miss Shankar Nag. Why did he have to be snatched away from us, so soon? Indian TV & Cinema lost a brilliant actor and director.
And, what a brilliant performance by the child artist Manjunath, who amazingly chose to quit the limelight and go into a completely different field.
I can watch this serial again and again and again ... no other serial even comes closes to this!
