I am a great fan of this legendary cartoonist. I admired his sketches since childhood. Watching his sketches in 'Malgudi Days' was fun, without even knowing who the creator was. I enjoyed watching the serial along with the entire family glued to the TV. We used to eagerly wait for that opening music, a mild flute note.
(Now it is one of the favorite caller tunes!!)
Later I learnt that he is the man who popularized the “Common Man” Character worldwide through his realistic cartoons in a daily. ‘Malgudi Days’ was the collections of short stories by his elder brother R.K.Narayan directed by late Kannada actor and director Shankar Nag.

It’s Returning!!
The National Film Award-winning film-maker Kavitha Lankesh has been offered a chance to re-shoot the serial for Doordarshan.
Hope it will bring back those sweet memories and
she lives up to the standards and expectations of all!

Malgudi reshoot. I don't want to see. Another layer over the nostalgia, never nice.
