That veteran director of Bollywood, who also made a mark on TV, gave competition to ‘Malgudi Days’ with his amazing show.

New Delhi. The 80s and 90s were considered the most golden era of Doordarshan. During that period, there were many serials on TV which showed the path to the society. Even though today the small screen i.e. TV is called an idiot box, but in the 80’s TV was very intelligent. Today the small screen is occupied by mother-in-law, conspiracy and serpent, but in those times, progressive serials used to come which not only attacked social evils with the help of sharp satire, but also laid great emphasis on the empowerment of women.

38 years ago, a similar serial used to come which had taken over the TV for years. This show also competes with children’s favorite Malgudi Days. ‘Malgudi Days’ was the most popular serial in the history of TV. Its IMDb rating is 9.4. Exactly one year after ‘Malgudi Days’, another serial was telecast on Doordarshan which got as much love as people had given to ‘Malgudi Days’.

Amol Palekar’s show Kachchi Dhoop was a superhit.

This serial is ‘Kachchi Dhoop’ directed by veteran director Amol Palekar. Amol Palekar had beautifully presented the story of a mother and her three daughters on screen through this serial. In this serial, on one hand there was the innocence of children, on the other hand there was the sacrifice of a mother. A mother who is ready to go to any extent for the happiness of her children.

Bhagyashree made her debut with Kachchi Dhoop

As much as the name of the show ‘Kachchi Dhoop’ was chosen thoughtfully, its star cast was also selected with equal care. Amol Palekar’s daughter Shalmali Palekar played the lead role in ‘Kachchi Dhoop’. In this, Purnima Pathwardhan also played the role of his mother. It was through this serial that Salman Khan’s co-star Bhagyashree entered the world of acting. This was the debut serial of superstar actress Bhagyashree. Ashutosh Gowarikar was also seen as an actor in this. The music of this serial was composed by Vijay Singh Patwardhan, who is Bhagyashree’s father and the king of Sangli, Maharashtra.

It is claimed in media reports that this show of Amol Palekar brightened the fortunes of Bhagyashree and Ashutosh Gowarikar. The actress made her acting debut with the serial Kachchi Dhoop and after that she became an overnight superstar with the film ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’. Although the opportunity went to Bhagyashree, the role of the hero in the film finally went to Salman Khan.
