A Wave Of Nostalgia

There was a certain magic in those days that will never make a comeback. Sitting with the family, watching TV together while eating some delicious snacks and sipping on cold drinks. The shows that are currently airing may be better in terms of budget or quality, but nothing can come close to the feeling that we felt watching those shows. The impact of those shows remains and those memories aren’t going to fade any time soon. Let’s go to those times again and let’s relive all the memories, back to our childhood again. Here is the list of some of the most incredible shows that will not just fill you up with instant nostalgia, but are also worth rematching for their concept and storyline.

Sarabhai vs Sarabhai: If comedy gold could have a name, it most definitely would be the Sarabhai family. Sahil’s sensibleness, Monisha’s middle-class nature, Indravadhan’s playfulness, Maya’s sarcasm, and Roshesh’s poems are something that will make you laugh till you cry. This show revolves around the dynamics of the Sarabhai’s (surname), a rich and affluent family that stays in Cuff Parade. It is hilarious and so refreshing to watch. Among all the vulgar and cheap comedy that we get to witness these days, this is a show that the family can watch together and have a good laugh. Season 2 did air on Hotstar, but nothing can beat the joy of watching the older episodes.

Ramayan: Would this list even be fair without including this classic show that will forever stay in our hearts? Covid-19 may have brought a lot of stress and worries in our life, but it also bought a wave of nostalgia and happiness through this show. The show was re-run during the harsh times and it received just as much love. It is a story that we are all aware of, but the cast, the music, the dialogues, and the incredible direction make us want to watch this show over and over again. A lot of serials on Ramayan have been made, but nothing comes close to the original.

Malgudi Days: There is nothing better than re-watching Malgudi Days, as it instantly will make our hearts happy. The story revolves around Swami, a 10-year-old boy, and is set in the pre-independence era. The storyline is so simple, subtle yet so powerful and heartfelt. The show depicts innocence and humanity in the purest form that is highly missing in the shows that we are watching today. The show is inspired by RK Narayan’s stunning work and the show doesn’t disappoint. It is captivating and magnetic in every sense; you will not be able to stop yourself from re-watching it again and again. 

Parvarish: We all fell for Rashi’s mischiefs and Ginny’s music, Rocky’s jokes, and Sunny’s innocence. This show bought a refreshing break from all the things we were watching on TV back then. The show is wholesome with some of the most beautiful performances delivered by a stellar cast. The story revolves around parents and how they raise their children. It follows the lives of two families, one that is strict with their children and the other that is friendly. It is funny, emotional, dramatic and will provide every bit of entertainment that you require. Imagine feeling a hundred different emotions at a time, this is what this show is about.
