7 TV Shows That Made Doordarshan Of The 80s The Best

2. Malgudi Days (1986)

Each episode of the show was based on a story from R K Narayan’s works such as Swami and Friends and The Vendor of Sweets, among others. The show was set in the fictional town of Malgudi and depicted India’s village life and the everyday struggles of the people living there. These are usually small things such as the mail going missing or 9-year-old Swami mistaking an intruder for a ghost and getting scared.

3. Fauji (1989)

Everybody knows this one. Shah Rukh Khan plays Abhimanyu Rai, a commando in the Indian Army undergoing training. Although only a total of 13 episodes were aired in 1988, the show had a cult following in later years, thanks to SRK becoming a big star. Want a bonus fact? While most people think this was King Khan’s first TV appearance, it was actually his second.
