Aarohan TV Serial - Doordarshan National (DD1) By OptionDee. July 20, 2010 Watch Title Track of Aarohan TV Serial, starring Pallavi Joshi, R. Madhvan and Harsh Chhaya.

We can experience many of the classics as they are uploaded online. Some even have their home video DVDs.

Serials like Alif Laila, Malgudi Days, Shrimaan Shrimati are especially close to my heart. Many others like Surabhi, Bharat Ek Khoj, Mahabharat were highly informative. And several others were extraordinarily entertaining. So, let's have a recap of the best serials of the 80s' and 90s'.

Nostalgia is the order of the day! • Lead: Alok Nath • Episodes: 105 • Directed by: Ramesh Sippy and Jyoti Sarup • Description: Buniyaad went on to become a hugely popular serial which showcased the life of a common man after India's partition and its aftereffects. Alok Nath was selected for the prime role of a freedom fighter. Some other known faces are Dilip Tahil, Goga Kapoor, and Soni Razdan. • Why do I remember this: I saw this when Buniyaad was re-aired after its initial successful run. And I'm glad I saw it. Master Haveliram's simpleton life entangled with tragedy connected viewers in many ways.

• Lead: Rajit Kapur, KK Raina, Sukanya Kumar • Episodes: 34 • Directed by: Basu Chatterjee • Description: The crime detection series based on the novel written by Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay. The show still has a cult following in which Rajit Kapur played the lead role. Well crafted episodes with attention to every detail make this one a treat to watch.

• Why do I remember this:I've always liked suspense thrillers. I don't remember any other crime detection serial which is liked by one and all. More recently, CID tried doing the same for which it was successful only for the initial years.

Of late, it is turning into more of a comedy. • Lead: Om Puri, Roshan Seth, Tom Alter and many others. • Episodes: 53 • Directed by: Shyam Benegal • Description: Shyam Benegal's direction brought forward to us the history of India. The series has altogether 53 episodes showcasing the story of caste formation, Ramayan, Emperor Ashoka, Kalidas, Akbar - The Great, and many more. The vivid and simplistic approach to showcase India's history is impressive. • Why do I remember this:This is the best history lesson you or your child can get.

Even to the point, our school teachers used to advise us to watch this for a better understanding of India's history. • Lead: Shahbaaz Khan, Shikha Swaroop • Episodes: 130 • Directed by: Nirja Guleri • Description: This was based on the novel written by the same name. Though, this ran into controversy as the book writer's grandson accused them of misrepresenting concepts.

Only after the Supreme Court's order, the show was reinstated. • Why do I remember this:Because of the title song is sung by Sonu Nigam. Of course, we were small to know that it has been sung by Sonu Nigam.

But the title song was really great which goes like this.so sing along. • Lead: SRK, Renuka Shahane, Sameer Khakhar • Episodes: 19 • Directed by: Aziz Mirza & Kundan Shah • Description: Enter Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh played the lead role of Raghavan, a Malayalee circus artist. Other actors who went on to make a name for themselves after this are Renuka Sahane (love-interest of Shahrukh), and Ashutosh Gowarikar (SRK's friend?).

• Why do I remember this: It was later in the years, that SRK had become King Khan of Bollywood. Many discussions on SRK started or ended praising his humble roots and how he is a self-made man who started with serials like circus etc. • Lead: Chandraprakash Dwivedi • Episodes: 47 • Directed by: Chandraprakash Dwivedi • Description: This series is based on the eminent thinker, teacher, philosopher of the 4th century. Apart from that Chanakya was one of the earliest political thinkers and served as the chief adviser of emperor Chandragupta Maurya.

Instrukciya po ohrane truda dlya hudozhestvennogo rukovoditelya doma kuljturi. • Why do I remember this:The master strategist that Chanakya was and his teachings can be used even in the 21st century. Therefore, after long completing its run and re-run, you could see many people with the book Chanakya Neeti. • Lead: Shekhar Suman, Farida Jalal, Navin Nischol etc.

• Episodes: 66 • Directed by: Anand Mahendroo • Description: The complete family drama-comedy show which will definitely bring a gushing smile on your face - and that's guaranteed.

I remember the character of Shekhar Suman where he used to recite his dialogue non-stop, the character of Gareema played by Deven Bhojani, and will you ever forget the short man Lilliput? And do you remember the credits at the start showing Jaya Bachchan's name zooming in the front? • Lead: To me, every character is the lead.
