Old Doordarshan Serials

On July 17 and 24, the Zee TV subsidiary, Zindagi, ran a Fawad Khan festival. That channel only airs Pakistani TV shows and some of them are sponsored by, interestingly, Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali Ayurved. There was a time when this used to be a one-way street—only Indian TV shows were aired in Pakistan and Pakistani TV journalists like Mubasher Lucman used to be critical of the Indianness of these shows having a corrupting influence on Pakistani culture.

Now, there’s some parity. Yet Indian TV anchors like Arnab Goswami, Sudhir Chaudhary or Rohit Sardana, cannot complain about Pakistani shows having a corrupting influence on us Indians. Instead, these shows from across the border expose the hollowness of Indian soap operas by being a class apart. The nation might want to know how they have managed to do it and might actually switch over to Pakistani soaps.

Knight Rider, Street Hawk and a horror serial Kile ka Rahasya (1989). Hi abhi plz if u can find or tell me the website karamchand,honi anhoni plz man tnx. I like serial ek maa ki.

Sample this: Zindagi ran a ‘marathon’ of Zindagi Gulzar Hai starring Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed in the lead roles (and the lovely Mehreen Raheel in a supporting role) on July 17 and 24. Through back-to-back episodes, the whole series was aired in a matter of 12 hours. At the same time, Zindagi’s mothership, Zee TV, was running promos of what appeared as the most sensational episode yet of Kumkum Bhagya. It hinted at the unmasking of Tanu (Leena Jumani), who had lied about being pregnant with Abhi’s (Shabbir Ahluwalia) child to steal him from his love and wife, Pragya (Srity Jha). What’s interesting is that Tanu’s great act had started in July 2015. In 13 months, she was pregnant only for eight months and had a miscarriage very recently. A shattered Abhi is now refusing to talk to Pragya, blaming her for losing “his” child.

While Kumkum Bhagya can never hope to run a marathon (it would never finish), it’s seriously caught in a time warp, just like a horror story from a decade-old episode of Shhh Koi Hai on Star Plus where a bunch of youngsters caught in a ghostly village went round and round the whole day and yet were at the same place. After watching it, I’m sure you would be tempted to say, “Zindagi bezaar hai.”

But we weren’t always this bad. Before the Indian TV industry was stung by a queen bee called Ektaa Kapoor, there were actually quite a few watchable (and now golden) serials. No, I am not just talking about the biggies like Hum Log, Booniyad, Khandan, Mahabharat or The Sword of Tipu Sultan; I am also talking about the lesser-known ones like Barrister Vinod, Katha Sagar, Indradhanush, Sigma, Jantar Mantar, Kashish, Phir Wohi Talash, Kshitij Yeh Nahin, Trishna, Neem Ka Ped, Afsaane…the list is long, really long.

Actually, it might not be wrong to say that the late 80s and the best part of 90s were the golden years of Indian television. Most of the serials back then stuck to a basic format of either 26 or 52 episodes. And the national broadcaster, Doordarshan, being the only channel, it wasn’t possible to run shows that ran for years and blocked primetime slots perennially.

As a Class II student back in 1989, there were quite a few serials that I used to enjoy. Sigma or Space City Sigma was one; Indradhanushwas another. Sigma was the first Indian attempt at doing something like the Star Trek. But more than the captain, it was the character Security Chief Shakti, a cyborg, which I used to like. And I remember trying to copy him in school where I had ripped off my school bag’s plastic name tag cover and pasted it on my cheek to replicate a patch that Shakti had on his. One of my friends used to play the baddie, Zakhaku, and we used to re-enact the Sigma episodes during tiffin breaks.

After Sigma ended, there was another serial like it called Jantar Mantar. The soundtrack was really good and talked about “samay ki seemaon se baahar, kitna antar, kitna nirantar”. Among others, it had the lovely Naina Balsaver whom we saw in later years as a hair expert in Sunsilk ads before Coleen Khan dislodged her.

A third serial that completed this sci-fi triad was Indradhanush. Starring Akshay Anand (who was last seen in the 2015 serial, Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani) and Karan Johar (yes, you heard it right), it was all about a PC turning into a time-machine. Every Sunday afternoon, this was the serial that used to keep me glued to the TV. It used to be followed by an American serial called Kennedy (based on the life of JFK), and after that wound up, by Agatha Christie’s Poirot starring David Suchet.

But there was a fourth serial, too, that talked about a young but poor scientist’s struggles in a society dominated by prejudices of all sorts.Lekhu, as it was called, starred Mohan Gokhale. The title song pretty much summed up the young lad and the yearnings of his productive and restless mind—“tare todna chaahe, nadiyaan modna chaahe, patthar todna chaahe, sheesha jodna chaahe”. This one had less fantasy and more science. And whenever there were ad breaks, there was one ad that was a regular—a clip on Rajiv Gandhi’s dream of India.

“Humne dekha hai ek sapna, bante sanwarte Hindustan ka,” it used to start with this and end with “aasmaan se aage, sooraj ki oar, milkar challenge laayenge nayi bhor” with the video of a fighter jet taking off. And when the episode used to end, there was always a tribute to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru through a song by kids that celebrated this “ratnon mein lajawab”. Perhaps it was a general tribute to Pandit Nehru’s nurturing of a “scientific temper” and a “spirit of enquiry” among Indians. Political messaging used to be subtle back then. It grew more overt when Prime Minister Narasimha Rao’s tenure was coming to an end in the mid-nineties and there were loads of short videos with scores by M M Kreem glorifying his achievements.

But let’s go back to the cusp of 1989-90 when there was something for everyone on Doordarshan.

My mother used to watch a serial called Phir Wohi Talash, but I don’t think she particularly liked it. This one starred Dr Ashwini Kumar and Poonam Rehani in the lead roles, supported by Neelima Azeem and Rajesh Khattar. This serial was rather slow and I thought the lead pair really sucked. All right, the storyline perhaps demanded that they be a bit subdued; but Azeem-Khattar just rocked with their chemistry and chirpy dialogues. Yet this wasn’t something that I used to look forward to.

But there was one scene in that serial that had terrified me: Kumar was ragged in college and was asked to wrap a dupatta behind his back and do a jig of sorts to put out a smouldering cigarette butt; then he was asked to gift a flower to a girl. Years later, when I entered college, a gang of mean-looking girls had ragged me and asked me to gift a rose to a really mean-looking senior girl. Either they had seen that serial or it was their own idea. But I turned out to be cleverer than Kumar: I took the rose and fled.

But I guess I liked Khattar’s character, Captain Salim just because he was an Armyman—those days I used to dream about donning the uniform in future. That was also the time when Chetan Anand’s Paramvir Chakra aired and I was somewhat emotionally tied to the Indian Army. The title song, “Shaan teri kabhi kam na ho, ay vatan, mere vatan…” used to make me misty-eyed.

But Ma used to love another serial called Trishna starring Tarun Dhanrajgir and Sangeeta Handa in the lead roles. Years later, after I read Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, I realised that the serial was inspired by that novel. Dhanrajgir had become quite a heartthrob after that serial, but strangely, he didn’t reappear on screen until years later in a serial called Aarohan starring Pallavi Joshi in the lead role and which also had a guest appearance by R Madhavan. This one was on an Armyman’s daughter’s quest to break the glass ceiling and join the Indian Navy. It was quite a theme to have a serial on that went beyond the glorification of the Navy—that thing was done by another serial called Samandar. Strangely, there was no serial dedicated to the Indian Air Force on DD. Years later, there was a juvenile attempt at doing something on the glory of the IAF in the form of Saara Aakash on Star Plus. But of course, it wasn’t anything to write home about. So let’s not talk about it.

But the best of the serials on the armed forces was actually one on the Border Security Force called Prahari. Those days, it was all about balance. So if you had Fauji on the Army, and Samandar on the Navy, you had Prahari for the paramilitary too. Decades later, OROP and the politicisation around it has created some bad blood between the military and the central police organisations today. Back then, though, in the mediascape at least, they were very well represented.

It wasn’t that some of these serials didn’t have pitfalls. They certainly did. While Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne starring Raghuvir Yadav was all about cheap humour, Mungeri Ke Bhai Naurangi Lal starring Rajpal Yadav was an even bigger disaster. Some were fast, some went really slow. But there were serials that dealt with short stories too: a genre that’s now entirely missing. Two of the best examples in this category were Katha Sagar and Afsaane. Katha Sagar dealt with some famous short stories by authors like Maupassant, Somerset Maugham etc.

Afsaane was a bit different. The serial started off with a dying postman telling his nephew about a sack of letters he hadn’t delivered 20 years earlier. The nephew decided to deliver those letters, and triggered a cycle of events that he couldn’t predict or control. Every letter delivered either destroyed a home, a family, or did wonders to it. Every letter told its own story. Such a serial has never been attempted ever since.

Let’s analyse serials of yore through their different genres.

Romance

I mentioned Trishna earlier. Another series that won hearts was Kashish starring Sudesh Berry and Malavika Tiwari in the lead roles. Berry played a successful film director while Tiwari played a newbie starlet Mohana Kumar who liked (and eventually loved) Berry but hated him equally for his big ego and arrogant conduct. Berry loved her too, but was too arrogant and uptight to accept it. Another great thing about the serial was its kicking intro where in a room full of smoke, the two couldn’t find each other—tastefully capturing the gist of their relationship.

But this was still a typical ‘boy meets girl, they fight, and they fall in love’ story. A bit more complex love story but pulled off quite well was Kshitij Yeh Nahin, starring Supriya Pilgaonkar and Tushar Dalvi in lead roles. Pilgaonkar played the widow of an Air Force officer (played by Rajit Kapoor) having a daughter who falls in love with Shekhar Sathe (played by Dalvi). She has a daughter who is fond of Shekhar but is torn between the love for her dead husband Akshay and Shekhar, the ‘friend’ of her daughter. Finally, it’s her father-in-law Aba Pradhan (played by Vikram Gokhale), who brings the two together. This was an excellent series on widow remarriage.

Sadly, though, Pilgaonkar eventually got caught up playing the funny bahu in Tu Tu Main Main while Dalvi was mostly seen in TV commercials after that. Decades later, Dalvi made a comeback as a father and sasur in Tumhi Ho Bandhu Sakha Tumhi, a forgettable serial; Pilgaonkar is playing another widow, Ishwari, who’s finding it increasingly difficult to accept that her grown-up son is falling in love with a young doctor in Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Hi, another forgettable series.

Comedy

DD had a high dose of quality humour serials. The first thing that comes into mind is Kakaji Kahin starring Om Puri as Kakaji and Shail Chaturvedi as Gajanan Babu, a wily politician. Chaturvedi would go on to act in another serial after that called Yeh Duniya Gajab Ki, a laughter riot with strong political undertones. Those days, netas on screen were identified by the Congress cap and the Sangh Parivar was a non-entity.

Guniram starring Rakesh Bedi was another humour show that had a strong social message in every episode. It was the story of Guniram, a small-town youth coming over to ‘Bambai dham’ (Mumbai was Bombay then). Bombay was still the city of hope and opportunity and our Delhi was almost never part of either the Bollywood or television landscape.

PA Sahab was effectively the last serial dealing with quality humour. Starring Satish Shah as the PA to the CM, it was a political satire. With this serial perhaps ended the golden age of TV humour (to be faintly revived by Ji Mantriji on Star Plus years later).

Kids’ Zone
As a child growing up in the 80s and the 90s, I had plenty to look forward to on weekends. Apart from the He Mans and Spidermans, there were good serials for children with a social message. Hum Panchi Ek Daal Ke was one in which a bunch of orphans or street urchins struggled to stay afloat while still keeping their faith in life intact. In a country where poverty was rife and the future of children of a lesser god still in doubt, this serial and many others like it tried to make better-off kids sensitive to their less-privileged cousins.

But sensitivities apart, we were still very young to understand the complicated crime stories that series like Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot dealt with. For us DD had Faster Feni. Based on a series of novels on a smart kid called Vanesh Feni, Faster Feni had fascinating adventures of the boy detective who solved small-time cases, mostly school conspiracies.

Super Six was another series that was inspired by Famous Five. From trapping kidnappers to local hoodlums who scared people posing as ghosts, the young detectives were inspirations for lads like me.

History

There has never been another inspiring series on history like Shyam Benegal’s Bharat Ek Khoj. So was The Sword of Tipu Sultan. These were the two TV shows that made me fall in love with history. But there were three other shows that did wonders to the promotion of history—The Great Maratha, Swaraj, and Swaraj Nama.

The first was a fictional take on the Maratha Empire in general and Mahadji Scindia in particular; the other two dealt with episodes of history. Swaraj by Manju Singh focused mostly on the struggle against the British Raj. But Swaraj Nama was a series anchored by Girish Karnad and Sushma Prakash that explored different periods of history. Till date, it’s the only serial that devoted an entire episode on the work of the early Orientalists like James Prinsep who had deciphered the Asokan inscriptions. The late Amrish Puri played the role of Asoka and also provided the background voice while reading out the Delhi pillar inscription of Asoka. Perhaps the only time before that we heard Puri’s narration was in the 1978 movie Junoon.

There were other serials that dealt with the then popular themes such as Partition and the Freedom Movement. If Lahu Ke Phool dealt with a subaltern view of the Freedom Struggle, Muzrim Hazir starring Nutan dealt with feudalism in Bengal. Neem Ka Ped starring Pankaj Kapur was another serial that dealt with Beth-Begari in pre-Partition and post-Partition India and the changing relationship of a bonded labourer, Budhai (Kapur), with his zamindar, Ali Zaamin Khan (Arun Bali).

Myth-busting

Yes, there were shows that tried to bust popular myths and superstitions. One of them was Honi-Anhoni. There was always a rational explanation for supernatural things shown in the serial. The message was: there are no miracles, ghosts or curses. And in a highly superstitious country, it was all the more necessary to bust myths through mass media.

Coming of satellite TV

In the early 90s, satellite TV channels made their debut. And the nature of content changed. This was also the time when the concept of mega serials started on DD. Reporter starring Shekhar Suman was advertised as the first mega serial. Then came Junoon and Swabhimaan that started with hour-long episodes a week but became 5-day affairs later. These two were also what we call ‘never-ending’ serials. But even these ended after a few years. But shows like Chandrakanta didn’t; they had to be pulled off air.

Chandrakanta, directed by Sunil Agnihotri, came every Sunday. But very soon, the central characters, Princess Chandrakanta (played by Shikha Swaroop) and Prince Virendra Vikram Singh (Shahbaz Khan) faded into oblivion and the serial became all about King Shivdutt (Pankaj Dheer) of Chunargarh and the intrigues in his life.

Agnihotri directed another serial after that, Yug, which had nearly the same star-cast as Chandrakanta. Hyper nationalism and over-the-top drama became hallmarks of this production, which, once again, was pulled off after it refused to end. It may not be wrong to say that Agnihotri was the precursor of Ektaa Kapoor. He started the trend, which Kapoor later picked up, refined it and gave it monstrous proportions.

Ektaa Kapoor and the knell of quality

Kapoor gave us the quintessential Indian bahu in the form of Tulsi Virani. She also gave us Smriti Irani, now mostly remembered for her tumultuous stint as HRD minister. Before she got this big break, Irani had debuted as Smriti Malhotra in an evening show called Tea Time Manoranjan. She and Raju Srivastav (now famous as a comedian) used to alternate as hosts in that “rangarang karyakram”. A little later, Irani played a bimbo in a countdown show that starred Ajit’s son, Shehzad Khan.

But it was Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi that launched Irani to stardom. She became an icon, but after the series stretched for a few years, her character Tulsi became an agonising reminder of everything that was going wrong with Indian TV.

Kapoor has given us many “icons” ever since and many serials, each making the viewer wonder if that was the most ridiculous act or the most idiotic show ever. And TV shows have ever since become one-dimensional productions with one family in focus and the daily intrigues that affect them without any whiff of reality anywhere. Gone are the days of social messaging; it’s all about earning TRPs and prolonging the careers of stars. In fact, the daily soaps have become like regular jobs for actors with one serial engaging an actor for several years at a stretch.

Soon, just like one Arnab Goswami has now influenced news anchors of other channels to indulge in high-decibel, ultra-nationalist ranting in the name of news, Kapoor, too, made other show producers follow suit. And variety started to diminish.

Today, there are either dance and other reality shows or annoying family dramas on different channels. Also, there are a whole lot of shows that seem to be undoing all the good work done over the years. Forget Honi-Anhoni, now there are two shows, Mann Mein Hain Vishwasand Bhakti Mein Hai Shakti where random accidents or escape from those are linked with the power of bhakti and divine interventions.

Comedy is all about cracking silly and at times highly sexist jokes and facial contortions. Glowing examples of this are Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma and Gutargu (now defunct, thankfully).

History is all about showing great Muslim rulers of the past as bigots, criminals and monsters or as puppets of harem politics. Examples: Jodhaa-Akbar, Bharat Ka Veer Putra Maharana Pratap and Chittor Ki Rani Padmini Ka Jauhar.

Mythology is all about twisting plots of the great epics with gay abandon in the name of creative licence. Example: Suryaputra Karn where the positive characters are all clean-shaven ones while the villains are all bearded, and where the serial itself has continued even after the central character died several episodes ago. The only positive: Gautam Rode, who did some ridiculous dancing with Shama Sikandar (who was last seen as a witch in a kids’ serial called Baal Veer and has been trying hard to revive her career through bold photoshoots ever since) in a music video called Kanhaiya by Abhijeet years ago, played the only role where he didn’t look or sound odd.

In such an environment, Pakistani TV shows have come as a breath of fresh air. So whether it’s the love-hate relationship between Kashaf (Sanam Saeed) and Zaroon (Fawad Khan) in Zindagi Gulzar Hai, or the rivalry between Anam (Urwa Hocane) and Zoya (Ayeza Khan) in Kahi Unkahi, it’s attracting more and more Indian TV lovers.

And yet there’s Tanu who continues to plot in Kumkum Bhagya with Pragya trying hard to bust her and Abhi playing the confused husband, and who occasionally gets drunk when hurt by one of his wife’s numerous (and rather confusing) avatars and has conversations with a pillow who he thinks is his Phoogi, oblivious to his actual wife trying to bring him back to his senses. It might take another year before Tanu is completely unmasked. But one wonders if the Indian TV audience would want to wait that long to see if the kumkum stays on in the bhagya of Pragya or Tanu snatches it away from her.
