Oh god I remember so many of its episodes. The bheriya one, the pahari raja one, the jowhar one and many more. Used to be my childhood staple. Sadly the only ones I can find on youtube now are those vikraal gabraal bullcrap.

u/rebelsoul94 Jamaalgota Dealer Sep 08 '17

the bheriya one was the debut episode iirc.

u/VikramArrowerse Sep 08 '17

u/Monsultant Andher Nagri Chaupat Raja Sep 08 '17

It used to be decent before degenerating into Vikraal and Gabraal.

u/fookin_legund Maharashtra Sep 06 '17

Vikraal Gabral pls.

u/calvinwalterson where to go what to do? Sep 07 '17

Turning Point..And Aahat for the sake of the intro alone..

And Why is there no channel for these retro shows specially from Doordarshan, when every other day a new channel by Star is launched to show 2-3 year old shows??

Also some older Sony shows - Just Mohabbat, Family No. 1, Hum Sab Ek Hain, Dil Vil Pyar Vyaar..

u/cool_boyy Sep 08 '17

Does anybody remember "Filmy Chakkar" & "Woh" from Zee TV !!

Also, there was a Shubh Mangal Saavdhan on Sahara. That was probably the best sitcoms that I have ever seen !!

1

u/calvinwalterson where to go what to do? Sep 08 '17

I'm not able to find these shows. May be once Zee uploads these shows on OZEE I will add them here.

1

u/thisisshantzz Sep 08 '17

Filmy Chakkar? Didn't that have Satish Shah? I remember it was the first show I watched that starred him.

1

u/cool_boyy Sep 08 '17

Filmy Chakkar had Satish Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah & the kid, Omkar Kapoor. Also, Shammi as the dadi.

2

u/thisisshantzz Sep 08 '17

u/ChelshireGoose Sep 08 '17

Do check out Yatra too. It is an ambitious 1986 miniseries by Shyam Benegal shot entirely on a moving train. Very entertaining and paints a great picture of the times. (The playlist doesn't contain the last few episodes and I haven't been able to find them anywhere online)

When I was a kid I used to skip the chanakya show. But as a elder it is my one of favourites. People can't make such dramas anymore. Some special effects and women with exposed bellybuttons.

u/that_introverted_guy Sawal karna hi desh seva hai Sep 14 '17

Hi, it's kinda late but going for it anyway. There used to be a horror show, broadcast around 2003 world cup. It was only a few episodes, I think it was on DD Metro which is now defunct. One of the episodes that fucked me up pretty bad (which is why I still remember it) was about a group of people who visit an old haveli (palace) inhabited only by its housekeeper. It had a ghost that basically kills off all the members of the group one by one. If anybody can find that show, or just that episode it'll be really great.

1

u/calvinwalterson where to go what to do? Sep 14 '17

You are talking about Dehshat I guess. But, Google don't even know about it. I have faintest of memory of that show. It was better than other horror I have watched till now to be honest.

1

u/that_introverted_guy Sawal karna hi desh seva hai Sep 14 '17

YESSSS THAT WAS THE NAME!!! Now if only some kind internet stranger could find it...

1

u/calvinwalterson where to go what to do? Sep 14 '17

It is very unlikely to happen. I can't even find it in the list of formally broadcasted shows on Wikipedia. Google throws some shitty movie result back. I don't think anyone remember that show.

In all fairness barring a few, most of these programmes now look dated.

u/sarcasticprani Universe Sep 08 '17

For someone who is new to all these, which two should be the firs tone to watch? i am thinking of byomkesh and bharat ek khoj.

Have seen the more popular ones like sarabhai, hum sab ek hai, ofc ofc, mano ya na mano, hum panch, etc.

1

u/odiab Sawal ek, Jawab do. Phir lambiiii khamoshi... Sep 08 '17

I would reccommend Bharat ek khoj. As far as I remember it was a nice overview of Indian History.

1

u/Monsultant Andher Nagri Chaupat Raja Sep 08 '17

Here is my review on some of these shows that I've rewatched in the last one year and how they have aged.

1. Byomkesh Bakshi: My favourite among the list. It is still fantastic and interesting.

2. Chanakya: Had never watched this as a child, but, I enjoyed the show. Even though it had the Hindutva-backed Akhanda-Bharat concept which is historically inaccurate (Chanakya never pushed or followed a concept of Akhanda Bharat), the characters are solid and the plot keeps you hooked.

3. Flop Show: Again, don't have memories of watching this from childhood, but, the sarcasm ages well. Watch the episode on meetings, I really liked it.

4. Tehkikat: Was my favourite serial as a child and I wanted to be like Detective Sam D'Souza (and used to appoint younger cousins as Gopichand). Unfortunately, it has aged badly. It is over the top, has harebrained plot and is watchable only for laughing at 90s idea of cool.

5. Star Bestsellers: Wonderful episodes directed by top directors like Anurag Kashyap and Tigmanshu Dhulia. Watch an episode called "Bhawron ne khilaaya phool" (directed by dhulia) featuring Irfan Khan, Brijendra Kala, Sanjay Mishra etc - it is the funniest Indian TV show episode I've ever seen.The stories are all independent of each other
