After reading all these msgs, it is clear, how much people liked & still likes these serials in a time where more than 100 channels are avlbl. I wish if i could see, Kathasagar & Ek kahani Aur milee.
Nostalgia is ok. But dont hype Humlog so much. There were better ones like Shanti, Chunauti etc. More polished. Mahabharat and Ramayan and even Tipu sultan set benchmarks.
It was a terrible serial. I could barely watch bits of two episodes and gave up on the show forever. It was trite, trivial,totally amteurish and symptomatic of a Doordarshan system of patronage, nepotism and backscratching. The reason Hum Log seems to have been watched by a large number of people is because there was really nothing else on Sunday mornings. There were no channels apart from DD so where was the choice. It is also debatable if people really watched, because the family would gather around the TV and eat and talk. If people had been quizzed about the episode immediately after the show, the serial would've been totally exposed as people really didn't bother what was going on. Compared to this, Mahabharat made a bigger impact.
Udaan Humlog stoneboy mungerilaal ke haseen sapne byomkesh bakshi malgudi days. These movies except stoneboy showed a good moral and shaped the lifes of many. I still remember in humlog,chutki writes the MBBS entrance and is very tense that she will not be able to pass it and she passes out with high marks. Then in udaan how the police inspector doesnot want to register the cas by kalyani singh prtrayed by kavitha choudhary. And how she comes back to the same police station as IPS. and stone boy kaele mujhase dosti stoneboy. swami of malgudi days. In byomkesh bakshi how an old man gets the drugs trnsfered to him through an inkpen by the postman. all were great serials.
