sudhansu243 I used to watch this TV show when i was a child. Even as a child i liked it though i had no idea about what classic or modern shows meant. RK narayan was a great author and he made a history that can never be repeated. And to make an alternative for this TV show is unimaginable. The short rural stories are too good and full of messages and the actors have done an excellent job. Thank you.
Adi Y Even though knowing that one of the Karnataka's most talented actor/director Shankar nag has directed the series and also acted by Karnataka's (kannada Film Industry)great talents like Anant Nag (brother of the director Shankar Nag) and Master Manjunath, I never expected this to be so good. When I watched the first episode I was dumb founded. After that I was just hooked... I still remember my childhood days eagerly waiting for every single episode and totally getting lost in amazing stories of "Malgudi Days" and swamy's innocence for the whole 22 minutes and wishing those 22 minutes to never get over. The serial is shot in Malgudi (a sweet place in Karnataka) which depicts several stories from Swamy's life written by RK Narayan. I own the DVD's and still watch them regularly. Even after watching countless number of times one can never get bored... If you want me to describe "Malgudi Days" in words I can merely say "Words cannot describe it" or words by any body else other than RK Narayan himself.
Vivek Prakash Dear All, Its been a great effort by Shankar nag. He created a splendid effect on everybody by creating such a great art sculpture like Malgudi Days!! Please don't forget to watch. If you watch you will know what life is!! The make up, Costume and want to tell one thing the role Swamy will leave you spellbound and the scenes where Swamy plays Cricket is ecstatic. One who have not seen this they are definitely going to miss the greatest ever television series. Really thanks and warm regards for Shankar Nag for creating such a great series with which we still cherish the memories and life and finally the aspiration.Love Vivek Prakash
thisistrinath It was one of the gems produced by Doordarshan when there was no other channel. Actually, I think(not sure) was like 6-7 years old when I used to watch this serial in Doordarshan, so obviously I don't remember anything about it except the only fact that I liked it then very much. I like the tune also. It lived an impression in my mind. It was a collection of episodes of everyday activities of ordinary people but was touching. Now I want to relive it and thats why I look forward to buying the DVD and may be book also. Watch it and if you have taste for light moments where actually lot of knowledge resides, then you will like it for sure.
