This series was produced before I was born, and it truly blows my mind how relevant it still is, about 30 years later. The books are great, and the production crew has really tried to stay true to the stories. I am amazed by how real it seems - there is zero melodrama, something that is a staple to most Indian shows these days. The acting and direction reigns supreme, and the production value is also so true to the time period that the series was based in. The age progression is also done so well!
The main actors - Rajit Kapur and K. K. Raina, are both so magnetic on screen and as a member of the audience, their performance would reel anyone in. They have a wonderful banter going on and the chemistry in their bromance is so fun. The direction by Basu Chatterjee is fantastic. He has not only managed to stay true to the book series, but he also brought the stories to a wider audience, and immortalized the character on screen for the Indian audience to marvel at. I watched the series over the period of a few months, and finishing the last episode was a bittersweet feeling. Absolutely loved this show. Really wish more Indian shows managed to convey this fabulous spirit of storytelling.
