So the mosear baer will not release the dvd or vcd any more?????

I cant say but the non-availability of the Documentary may be due to two reasons :

1. On the positive side, May be their whole lot is sold out and they would soon be coming with the new lot in the market.

2. And on the negative side their right for the movie may have got expired.

Whereas I seriously hope that its the first case with Moserbaer and the DVD is soon available in the market for all Kishore Kumar Fans.

So lets be hopeful......Cheers!

where can i get this dvd now???? i had check the moserbaer web site, but it is not available now. can u advice me on this matter as i am a die hard fan of kishore kumar.

Hi Sanjith,

Sorry to hear that. But In this case I suppose the only way left is to ask your local vendors to search a copy from any of their dealers. Someone may have it in his stock lying in the godown. 

And I really hope you get to watch it soon.

Cheers!

Hi All

Hai Bobby,

Exactly as you said I too feel the same. Its a Indian mythology. The Tamil/telugu movie lovers are aware of a brilliant film maker called Vittalacharya who creates "the Avatars" as his characters. Avathars happened in real life too,if one reads the life of Adi Sankara. Its real. another thing I really appreaciate in this life is his message of the Pagan's worship of our natural resources and the Environmental awareness .The Navis characterisation is full of Pagan content. He says how we are connected together in nature (The communication with one another). He conveyed the same message in his earliar film too (The Abyss). Apart from the Sci-Fi content,its more human i can say..I love this film very much!

Rightly said Bavani,

Its a true human movie in soul, but sadly the sci-fi disguise took away the all the limelight.
Still the right people are getting their message through the movie.

Do read my article on "Kala Bandar" too. Will wait for you comment on that.

Take Care......Cheers!

Thanks Aman and wish to see your comments more often......Cheers!

Hi Harpreet,
If you really can write few lines on your own about your life's good and bad experiences then dont ever care to know the views of others.
Because even to write somethng needs great courage and talent, which more than 70% of the people dont have. And if they had in their young days, they have now forgotten that after getting absorbed in the routine daily life and family matters.

So go on writing it, improving it and sharing it as it counts when you share. Post it at your FB account and then ask for reviews of all.

Keep writing and visiting,

Cheers! HIS BLESSINGS

So cud u tell me please from where I can get the title songs and this serial Karamati.

There are other serials that come to my mind.

Indradhanush (kids with a talking computer, I missed the ending episode due to power cut in our locality) Used to air on Sunday noon.

Police File Se (recreation of events of how police solved crimes, like stealing of Bhadur shah Jaffars coat from Delhi museum).

Lifeline (Deals with Hospitals and Doctors lives starring Reema Lagoo).

Can't recollect the name but a serial starring Parikshit Sahani as a doctor.
In the last episode all his former patients pool money and send him to US for treatment after he meets with a life threatening accident.

PC 1008 (detective serial starring kanwaljeet singh ).

Another serial that deals with two doordarshan reporters that go on a door to door to get reviews about doordarshan programmes. It was a comedy serial.
Vimla me aagaya was the hero's favorite dialogue.

World this week by Pranoy Roy (only source of Foreign news).

Thanks Subbarao for visiting the site writing your valuable comment.
From the list I really remember "LIFELINE" as the best one happening at that time.

How can any one forget "Neem Ka Ped".. the memorable character of "Budhai".. the best work of Pankaj Kapoor till date.. it had that wonderful opening title song - "Munh Ki Baat Sune Har Koi " by Jagjit Singh..

Sure Rahul....that was a great serial......to be remembered as a gem.

Thanks for reminding it and Keep Visiting.......Cheers!

Wow.mind blowing!!! I came across this string today, and it made fascinating reading!!
Really makes us go through the corridors of time! but we still do remember every serial vividly. May I add, that there were a few films made exclusively as 'telefilms' for Doordarshan.

I remember 'Ek ruka hua faisla' starring Pankaj Kapoor, Then there was another Mahesh Bhatt film made for DD starring Kumar Gaurav (the name eludes me). Basanti was also a good serial in the early days of 80's.

Though we are only talking about hindi serials, shall I take the liberty of mentioning a few english serials like 'the odd couple',;different strokes', 'Target', 'the Old fox', are you being served' which were also hugely popular in the late 80's. we still remember the serial actors by their screen names: Nanhe, lallu,chutki, badki,khopdi, guru,laajoji etc;It seems like it was only yesterday!! Good job,keep it going!!!

Hi Kiran Kumar,
Thanks for joining in and yes it is truly a mesmerising journey into the past.
As far as the Mahesh Bhatt film made for DD starring Kumar Gaurav is concerned it was called JANAM as I can recall.

Hi bobby,
It seems you are a goldmine of old dd serials. can you help me out please? i have been searching for the title song of an old dd serial, the name of which i did not find in your list whereas it should have been there i suppose. the name of the serial was "Zamin Aasman" and the lyrics of the title song was -"manzil rasta karwan, har ghadi hai imtehan mile mile na mile kya pata zamin asman" - it was perhaps sung by vinod rathod. i am exhausted to find the song. can you give me any link from where to download it? i am even ready to purchase it if available. Can you help me buddy?

Thanks a lot Subhra for you loving praise but its really a collective effort here since everyone has contirbuted a lot in giving his own links and names to be added further.
Regarding the serail "ZAMEEN AASMAN" it was directed by Tanuja Chandra I supposse But sadly I couldnt find the title song you are looking for at net till now.
However lets see if any friend here has some valuable info on the same to share.

Hi
Nice list. There used to be a comedy serial Chotte Bade in the evenings..
The servant was called Madan Baan. There was Mitthu baby. The father/dadaji would be reading telephone directory for timepass! I think it was a Sai Paranjpe serial.

Paying Guest is another nice serial that I remember.
Showtheme is another serial not seen in the list. It was based on movies but with some theme for each episode.

Not sure if Mungerilal was before 90s. Mungeri lal ke haseen sapne.

Ye Jo Hai Zindagi with Renuka Sahane and Satish Shah and Shafi Inamdar was hilarious. Of course Chachi was very good too.Bhattacharji and his wife were good as neighbors.

Tamas was a huge hit in the 1990-91 time frame with Om puri.

Subah was a serial about drugs in college and with a powerful cast.

Different Strokes, Fraggle Rocks were very popular too aired on Sunday afternoons. I was too young to understand the english at that time however.

Short films from films division that used to be aired repeatedly still stay fresh in memory. sooraj ek chanda ek taare anek. extra chappathi, one about Unity of India with nice music.

its a good exercise going down the memory lane. No one really bothers to remember them though they have shaped our thoughts and values quite a bit.

2. Secondly The list here is about the Hindi most popular serials which came before the Cable Revolution in India i.e. before 1990. And the serials you menitoned like Shaktiman & Chandrakanta came much after 1990.

Late 70s -Early 80s - there were two good cartoons that used to come - one on Friday eve - "mole's story" and Sunday morning "Barbapapa".
About hindi serials you mentioned most of the popular ones already, few more worth mentioning would be..
Phir wahi Talaash, Naqaab, Intezar, Talaash, Satyajit Ray Presents [This was hindi serial directed by Sandip Ray in the lines of Katha-Sagar but stories were all written by the Great Maestro, mentioning it as you mentioned this to be a regional serial in one of your replies to someone]..

There were few very good english Serials/Docu that used to come on Sundays..
early 80s - Secrets of the Seas, The Cosmos [by Carl Sagan], Different Strokes, and ofcourse greatest of all sci-fi genre- Startrek TOS.
Tuesday eve - The Gaint Robot aka Johny Sheko and his Flying Robot. late 80s a German comedy serial "DIdi's comedy" in the lines of Chaplin..

Hi Swaroop,
Thanks for you detailed comment but I would like to mention a few point regarding the same.

1. I have really not focussed on Cartoons or English Serials in this list so you will not find them hereas mentioned in your comment.

2. The post only mentions a few serials which were most famous all over so it is bound to miss many names which might be our personal favourites.

3. Regarding "Satyajit Ray Presents", though I was an avid TV freak at the time but really dont remember this one relayed in HINDI. May be I missed it as many others around me since no one recalls it watching in Hindi. But if you are so much sure about its Hindi version then it should releasing in DVD soon as all other Ray Classics including the documentaries and short films are being released on Home Video.

But if you do have any more information about the HINDI version of "Satyajit Ray presents" then do let me know as I am a big fan of the maestro and would love to have this in my collection.

Cheers!

Their was a serial name Ajnabee or Agneepath, in which a man was their fond of horses, a boy with his mother, horse stable something something, any idea about that serial, serial was used to come after Junoon i think...

Aadaab Sir,
Thanks for bringing those sweet memories once again amidst the crowd of worthless serials.
Sir during summer vacation at 12 noon there used to be a one hour programme called "Fun Time" in which creative things were shown for children. Also on Fridays short films based on fables like 'Snowwhite & The Seven Dwarfs', 'The Sleeping Beauty' etc were telecasted.
Sir Where can I see "Aarohan" serial in whivh Pallavi Joshi was the main lead? and Yes sir one more serial 'Doosra Keval' starring Sharukh Khan.

Aadaab Nazia,
Thanks for visiting here with you own sweet memories of those memorable years.
At present I dont have any info on where you can see "Aarohan" or 'Doosra Keval'.
But keep trying at YouTube as many like minded friends regularly post some old serials there.
They both havent been released on DVDs so YouTube remains the only place where you can find them.

Hi Sachin,
YEs I do remember HE-MAN and also SPIRDER MAN animation series but since here we have taken all the HINDI serials so these were left out for that reason alone.
Regarding "ParamVeer Chakra", if it ever came out on Home Video I will surely let you know, but till then it can only be seen very partially on you tube as that is the only place to see it, if any fan uploads some of its episodes.
So do try out there at regular intervals and Keep Visiting here too,

Hi
great database.... really appreciate the effort...can someone tell me from where i can get the title song of serial ADALAT. And just for info in the blog i read stoneboy as English serial...if i remember correctly it was a Hindi serial.

Hi,
I don't remember the name of this serial but it was about a postman, who had hoarded all the letters and his grandson starts delivering after postman's death. Each episode features a different story of the people whom the letter was addressed to earlier and what happens after the letter is delivered.

It was a very good serial and but I've forgotten its name. Does anybody here can recall?

Hi Simmi Shaikh,

Thanks for writing in but I am sorry to inform that as per my knowledge there is no such serial available at Home Video. BTW, I couldnt also recall which serial you are referring to.

Keep Visiting.

Hi! A very nice write up indeed. Makes me feel so nostalgic! I would like to add 'Darpan' to your list. It was a collection of short stories with the title music having been composed by Salil Chowdhury. Thanks for the memories pal. Those were the days of waiting for just one episode until cable TV ruined all the fun.
Oh Yes, 'Satyajit Ray Presents' should also have been included with its title music being composed by none other but the legend himself. But yes, you really brought back memories of my school days. Thanks a lot!

Hi Kanishka,
Thanks for visiting and writing in with your kind words.
Yes it does make you very nostalgic thinking about those times of eagely awaited episodes.
And sure I would love to add 'Darpan' in the list as I myself remember watching it with great interest.

However since these are only the Hindi serials listed here, therefore the post doesnt include 'Satyajit Ray Presents' which I also didint get to watch due to regional barrier at that time. But I would love to see it today if you can give me a link or Home Video source.

Do keep visiting as there is lot here which you might find interesting.

Hi Rashmi,
You are very right in saying that HONI ANHONI was one of the best horror serials better than many of the recent ones. At present I am not sure whether it is available online or at home video at the present. But it will surely be there online once it gets re-telecast on Doordarshan some day in the future.
Thanks for writing in and Keep Visiting!

Hello,
There r so many serials which r missed out by you like Apne Paraye, Bante bighadte, Waah Janaab, Chapte Chapte, Dhamaal, Chunauti, Subhah, Ek Kahani, Darpan, Basanti, Aa bail mujhe Maar, Panchi, Hum Panchi Ek daal ke, Qile ka Rahasya, Kab tak Pukaroon?, Safarnama, Babaji ka Bioscope, spiderman cartoon, Singhasan Chattisee, Lekhu,star trek, Sherlok holmes, Famous Five,Giant Robot, and so many.

Thanks Venky for your comment.
But here my aim of the post was not writing names of just all the serials before 1991.
So If you wish to read all the names then for that you can visit the Wikipedia page of Doordarshan Serials.
Here I was mostly concerned about those which were immensely popular and which are now being demanded or being released on Home Video (DVDs).

Still thanks for writing in and Keep Visiting.

Hi Bobby.

I remember few more serials, like TALASH featuring Alok nath, HONI ANHONI (horror), INDRADHNUSH, NEEM KA PED featuring pankaj kapoor. GUNIRAM of Rakesh Bedi.

Dear Bobby,

Dear Bobby,

I really congratulate and thank you. Hats off.
Indeed these serials, we have waited hours to see. Reminds of lot of time that was well spent on quality entertainment and with family.
Today's kids have definitely missed these.
I have some names to offer which is not in these list.
Ek do theen char , with the title song ek do theen char, hum sare must ke chor....
Reporter, story of a reporter.
Tehkikaat, Investigative stories.

Thank you once again.

Hi Anoop,
Thanks a lot for your loving comment and yes even reading the names of these serials reminds us a lot about those good times.
Regarding the names mentioned I am certainly adding "Ek Do Teen Chaar" in the list.
But actually since I have here taken only the hugely pouplar serials before 1990 only so the rest are not there.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you would love reading many more articles here too at the site.

Can you please help me to recollect name of this perticular serial or any other link on internet where I can find doordarshan seral names?

Hi,

I think it would be good if DD retelecast these serials now a days. Since these serials contains social messages and found infomative and entertaining, better than the serials telecasted nowadays which has more costumes but zero social messages and never reflect the actual society in large.

Ya sure, it will be great fun if the young ones can watch these, taking time out of their super fast lives.

Hi,

There was this college serial called Subah. Dealed with drug issues and other stuff. Catchy title song. Not sure if you guys mentioned Nukkad here.. And how could you forget the marathi serial ek shunya shunya... If you are a fan of cid on sony. Then ek shunya shunya with the same title roles was violent.

Hi Edmund,

Thanks for visiting and writing in but frankly speaking it seems that the article was only given a glance and not read thoroughly.

Because both of the serials mentioned are right there in the list i.e. Subah and Nukkad.

And the marathi serial is not there as the article in basically only about the Hindi Serials of that era.

However, as you mentioned about the title song of Subah, I would like to add that it was a brilliant track from the great R. D. Burman himself.

Thanks once again for being here and keep visiting.....Cheers!

Hi Majid,
Thanks for visiting and writing in.
However I would like to inform that it seems that you just read the post in a hurry as both MR. YOGI and RAJNI are right there in the list.

Plus the post here is not about every serial which came in that period, but only the major ones which still are remembered by all.
If you wish to read the names of all other then they are listed in the Wikipedia page of Doordarshan Serials in big numbers.

Thanks once again and Keep Visiting.

Hello Mr. Bobby,
Thanks for keeping us remember those old and gold days. I was going thru all the database and i found that one serial named " Buniyaad" was left out. As my hobby is sharing, i request you to give me the details of such old serials so that we can share with our fellow viewers. Thanks a lot for all your efforts.

Hi Sheik Adam,

Thanks for writing in and I would be sure posting whenever an old serial gets released on the home video.
However whereas BUNIYAAD is concerned, it is not missed at its right there at no.4 in the list.

Thanks and Keep Visiting.

Hi Dr. P. S. Rathore,

Thanks for visiting and writing in.
Regarding the availability of these serials on Home Video, if you reside in Delhi then all the released serials can be bought from either Palika Bazaar or Lajpat Rai market. These are the two places where you can get all at one go.

Otherwise you can get them by ordering at your local store or retailer.

I hope you get them all soon.

Keep visiting.........Cheers!

some other serials which were amazing:

farmaan
kshitij
neev
pachpan khambe, laal deewarein
darpan

in recent serials : sarabhai vs sarabhai

Hi Amu,

Thanks for writing in. Ya I sure remember Darpan and others were good too.

Hi Mr. Bobby,
Thank you so much for taking this wonderful initiative. I have added a few more serials aired on DD-1 to the list:

1) Majhdhaar
2) Lahoo ke Phool
3) Mitti ke Rang
4) Yugantar (Based on Bengali background)
5) I don't remember the name but it starred Firdaus Dadi as a teenager with Girish Karnad as her father and Farida Jalal as her governess.
6) One more serial in which Hemamalini had acted along with Kabir Bedi
7) Ducktales
8) Talespin
9) He-man
10) Giant Robot (Probably on DD-2). It was so popular during the 80s that the moment the news was spread that it was aired on 2nd channel, all playgrounds and building compounds used to be empty in the twinkling of an eye.
11) Mashaal directed by Arun Govil based on pre-independence era.
12) I dont remember the name of this serial, but the lead couple win a lottery, but still don't part with their down-to-earth behaviour.
13) One more serial which was comedy in which there is a South-Indian couple.
14) The Sword of Tipu Sultan
Folks...please keep on adding to this list.....

There was something called ''Kiley ka rahashya'', Stoneboy, Giant robot. Do you remember?

Cheers

 Hi A. M. Yadav,

Sure, As you remind me i have just remembered that haunting tune of "Kiley Ka Rahesya"........which I still couldnt find anywhere on the net. The rest of the two, I remember too but they were English serials, which can be included in a seperate post. But "Kiley Ka Rahesya" no doubt deserves a place there in my list. 

Thanks for your contribution and keep posting!

Hi Sir,
I remember a serial named shanti launching mandira bedi . but i couldn't watch the whole story as it stopped airing on dd. i searched it on net but didn't found it . please ,can you tell me from where i can watch the remaining episodes.

I seriously miss those golden moments of watching tv, where a young lady fighting for the justice for her mother.

Hi Ashish,
As you might have read in the post and comments above, here we are actually into recalling the time where there was no Cable Network in the country (before 1990) with only one channel to watch ie Doordarshan.
But since SHANTI started post 91 in 1994 may be, therefore it is not mentioned here.

However it was indeed one of the first Tele Soap Operas made on a big scale so may be one of our friends here has any rare info of its availability to share in the following comments.
So lets be hopeful and keep visiting.
Cheers!

Dear Bobby Sir
I would like to know if in your knowledge Is there anyway we can get copies of all old serials from Doordarshan mandi house as i am sure they must have kept originals with them. Some serials have been released by different companies like Shemaroo but I am sure if Serials like Farmaan, Aa Bail Mujhe Maar , Darpaan , Ajnabi are released they will definately sell like Hot Cakes. Do you have any plans to buy there copyrights and sell them count me as one of your first customers.
Regards
Rashmi

Dear Rashmi,
Doordarshan is a Govt. Organisation and it has its own pace and methods of operations which are not based on the normal business strategies like other Home Video companies. So we are helpless in this and can only wait for what they would like to release and when.

However another hard truth about the serials is that they should have wider audience and should also have some resale value of their own in them. So many favourite serials of we all may not be good from the Sale point of view in the market. Hence you will have to rely more on the fan uploads on youtube only from time to time. Like recently FARMAAN serial has been uploaded by a fan at youtube.

Regarding the copyrights, I am not the right person to buy them but lets hope that all good serials do come out on Home Video in the near future.

BTW currently Doordarshan stuff is being sold by a company called "MYSTICA MUSIC" operating from Delhi.
So you can also chek there too at the following link:

Hi, there,
The list of programmes taken from Wikipedia has a little mistake which you seem to have copied. The programme WHAT'S THE GOOD WORD was an English programme and not a Hindi programme as currently listed. Furthermore, for those who don't know, the programme was devised by the late Adi Marzban for Doordarshan and contrary to popular belief and claims, not by Sabira Merchant. She was the show host, and not even the first one. There were at least four others before her, including the late Partap Sharma and Dolly Thakore. Just thought I should set the record straight, because I am sick of seeing Adi Marzban not get the credit for what was probably the longest running game show on Doordarshan.

PS. I know because I too was the show's host before Sabira. And for several shows at that.

Dear Rohinton Mody,

First of all it seems you that you are completely new to my site otherwise you would not have used the word COPY here.
Cause this is nothing taken/copied from somewhere as I dont follow the new generations Facebok Copy-Paste trend here.

Secondly you seem to be too hurry in writing your comment as the list you are referring to has been posted by a friend here with the name RAVI in his personal comment below the actual post which is all copied from Wikipedia. And in response to his comment I have duly informed him about his act.

Thirdly if you might have read my actual post then that is only about HINDI serials before 1990 and I havent talked about any English Serials here.

So next time please read the post  carefully by spending some time on it and avoid writng comments in a hurry please.

It was nice to have you here and keep visiting.

Cheers!
