    Best Series Ever On Indian Television

    This is not one of the best but the very best that Indian television has to offer.Whatever the crap that they show on TV these days should be thrown in the dumps when we compare it to Malgudi Days. I have seen this so many times that I have lost the count of it. I will make sure everybody in my future generation too watches it.

    It is one of those great classics which I can never forget till I m in this world.Great work and great stories with great acting is all how we can sum it up

    People from all around the world, if u are reading this please don't forget to watch this.

    A remarkable honest classic television package

    Cheers

    The best TV show ever in the history or future of Door Darshan

    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.

    All time classic TV show.

    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.
