Do you remember the old Doordarshan (DD) shows that you watched so affectionately? Those days were special and will not be forgotten.The magic that they had can't be replaced.

But we have a savior - the internet. We can experience many of the classics as they are uploaded online.

Some even have their home video DVDs.Serials like Alif Laila, Malgudi Days, Shrimaan Shrimati are especially close to my heart. Many others like Surabhi, Bharat Ek Khoj, Mahabharat were highly informative. And several others were extraordinarily entertaining.So, let's have a recap of the best serials of the 80s' and 90s'.

Alok Nath was selected for the prime role of a freedom fighter. Some other known faces are Dilip Tahil, Goga Kapoor, and Soni Razdan. Why do I remember this: I saw this when Buniyaad was re-aired after its initial successful run. And I'm glad I saw it.

I don't remember any other crime detection serial which is liked by one and all. More recently, CID tried doing the same for which it was successful only for the initial years.

The series has altogether 53 episodes showcasing the story of caste formation, Ramayan, Emperor Ashoka, Kalidas, Akbar - The Great, and many more. The vivid and simplistic approach to showcase India's history is impressive. Why do I remember this:This is the best history lesson you or your child can get. Even to the point, our school teachers used to advise us to watch this for a better understanding of India's history.

Lead: Shahbaaz Khan, Shikha Swaroop. Episodes: 130. Directed by: Nirja Guleri.

Description: This was based on the novel written by the same name. Though, this ran into controversy as the book writer's grandson accused them of misrepresenting concepts. Only after the Supreme Court's order, the show was reinstated. Why do I remember this:Because of the title song is sung by Sonu Nigam. Of course, we were small to know that it has been sung by Sonu Nigam.

But the title song was really great which goes like this.so sing along. Lead: SRK, Renuka Shahane, Sameer Khakhar. Episodes: 19. Directed by: Aziz Mirza & Kundan Shah. Description: Enter Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh played the lead role of Raghavan, a Malayalee circus artist.

Other actors who went on to make a name for themselves after this are Renuka Sahane (love-interest of Shahrukh), and Ashutosh Gowarikar (SRK's friend?). Why do I remember this: It was later in the years, that SRK had become King Khan of Bollywood. Many discussions on SRK started or ended praising his humble roots and how he is a self-made man who started with serials like circus etc.

This epic serial has had the honor of getting many international awards.

A total of 47 episodes was aired in 1991 on a weekly basis. Why do I remember this:The master strategist that Chanakya was and his teachings can be used even in the 21st century.

I remember the character of Shekhar Suman where he used to recite his dialogue non-stop, the character of Gareema played by Deven Bhojani, and will you ever forget the short man Lilliput?

And do you remember the credits at the start showing Jaya Bachchan's name zooming in the front?. Lead: To me, every character is the lead.

Episodes: 100. Directed by: Jymn Magon. Description: The popular cartoon series was imported from the USA and did very well in India and many other countries. Why do I remember this: It feels so amazing to watch this again.

If I remember properly, it was shown in the evening between 6.30 to 7.00. Running from school just to watch Uncle Scrooge in his quest for accumulating more wealth was amazing. The adventures of Uncle Scrooge, his amazingly intelligent nephews - Huey, Dewey, and Louie, with Launchpad are being remembered with great admiration and fondness.

Directed by: Ketan Mehta. Description: The show which had an NRI American trying to search a well-cultured bride in India. He goes on to see 12 girls each belonging to a different Rashi.

This tries to shed light on the customs and practices that take place in Indian marriages.

I can understand the impact it would have created at the time of its release. Fluid power engineering co. Lead: Gajendra Chouhan, Nitish Bharadwaj, Mukesh Khanna. Episodes: 94.

Directed by: Ravi Chopra. Description: The story of the biggest war according to Hindi scriptures was shown in much detail. Many actors went on to make a successful career after this. Why do I remember this: The song at the start is awesome by the vocals of Mahendra Kapoor. The grandeur, though, might not excite when compared to today's special effects.

Nevertheless, this made audiences hooked onto their seats every Sunday morning. This taught so much to the audience about Indian mythology.

Lead: Of course Mowgli!. Episodes: 52. Directed by: Fumio Kurokawa. Description: The fascinating story of Mowgli and Sharekhan. The best part of this was the continuing script, unlike other animated series. Why do I remember this: As I was writing this my mom reminds me 'You used to be mad about Mowgli'. And tell me who hasn't recited the famous lines: ' Jungle Jungle Baat Chali Hai Pata Chala Hai.Chaddi Pahenge Phool Khila Hai Phool Khila Hai'.

The title song is composed by Vishal Bharadwaj, lyrics by Gulzar and the singer is (Photo Link). Lead: Mandira Bedi. Episodes: Unknown. Directed by: Adi Pocha. Description: Mandira Bedi made her debut in the industry with this dark reality-based serial. She plays the character of Shanti the lead actor who aspires to be a journalist. And boy see the stark differences of her looks now.

She definitely looks much bolder and I must say she carries it incredibly well. Why I remember this: All because of Mandira Bedi. She went on to do many more serials and movies after Shanti. The transformation she had after the 2003 Cricket World Cup is impressive. Lead: Reema Lagoo, Supriya Pilgaonkar, Mahesh Thakur.

Episodes: 169. Directed by: Sachin Pilgaonkar. Description: Pun on Saas-Bahu relationship. Why I remember this: The unique way of telling 'Action' before the start of the episode is one thing I recall which was quite distinctive. The camaraderie and sweet little arguments between the lead actors were awesome. Reema Lagoo and Supriya Pilgaonkar have some great fun irritating each other. Where is all the love lost between the Saas-Bahu?

(I'm talking about the recent shows). Hi all,There are few other serials like Palash ke phool directed by Asha Parekh ji, Dane Anar ke, one serial was airing in the morning named Jahan Chah Wahan Rah, some times they showed movies on Thursday evening under which they showed Quaidi no. 911, Memsaab (Vinod Khanna), and in 1992-93 Tuesday noon movie time where Golmal, Rafoochakkar, Yeh gulistan hamara was telecasted. Renuka Israni's serial 'Kashmkash' in 87-88, Deepa Lagu's serial Hum Panchi ek daal ke, Mehmood's serial Savera, Awesome beauties of those time were, Radha seth, Malvika Tiwari, Seema Kelkar, etc. Girija Shankar and archana joglekar in Kissa Shanti Ka. Punam Rehani and Nilima khattar in Phir Wohi Talash, Lekhoo, Stone boy.So many memories.

Can you tell me the name of the serial that is broadcasted in DD (i forgot if its National or Metro) that is a thriller/horror series and I particularly remember one episode of it that goes as follows:A man and his wife goes to a curio shop with their daughter and buys a particular statuette (a demonic head) much to their daughters dismay. The daughter screamed and cried when she looked at the statuette but her parents dismissed her fears on grounds that she is young and just probably afraid to see such a horrid figurine. But after the couple brings the head to their house things starts to go sour. The man who is a surgeon by profession, kills a patient in a very simple surgery.

We get to see that in the course of the operation, when the surgeon sees his patient's blood something forces him to commit serious mistakes that costs the life of his patient. At this time, the camera pans to the demonic head inside the house and it is shown that the facial expression of the demonic head changes to reveal a demonic smile.After this we had a power cut off and were not able to watch the rest of the episode.I would love to watch the rest of this intriguing episode. Very glad to recollect all these wonderful serials through your post here. I used to watch many of those serials with much interest and a great liking. But, I never heard about that Shahrukh Khan's Circus serial.

All other serials up to 40 have been mostly watched by me. You omitted one more interesting serial for physical fitness. The Serial named 'Dus Kadam'.

It was also very great.I would like to watch all these wonderful serials once again.Presently, I am watching 'Nanhi si kali meri ladli' and 'Purva Ek Nayi Soch'.
