Weekend Movies on Old Doordarshan including Regional.
Around 25 years back, we didn't mind watching any Hindi or Regional movies on TV since Doordarshan was the only Channel. Those years were kinda sweet isn't? the feeling was different bit weird but I liked it. Do you really regret those years cause I don't, since my childhood is associated with it n you may ask How??
Well, doordarshan did manage Families to come-together at the Prime time 8:30p.m to watch Sitcoms and certainly the weekend movies. if you recall they played old movies from late 50s till early 90s. When I was a kid, I used to like watching only colored movies since Black
and white prints were kinda boring and also the fact we didn't understand the real story behind it untill we were all grown up.
Today I look for movies which have got great entertainment and ART, irrespective of how old it is. I have been enjoying the great work of legendary Bollywood director of 1960s Late Guru dutt and his movies Pyasa, Kaghaz ke Phool or Sahib bibi aur gulam there's so much to look for in those movies, I can't really express in words.
So yeah! on Doordarshan they showed some really great and Rare movies in Color or Black n white and there's a best part which I almost forgot to mention in this post that is about the Ads, do you remember folks! for a short time before showing the movie and after an Intermission there were few ads in between, as a Kid I loved that part, watching ads was so much FUN more than the movie :) therefore I made a complete different post about it and if you would want to enjoy some really old ads all you've got to do is Click on this link to recall those sweet moments :)
I just remembered we also used to get some Regional movies on Weekends and these movies had won National Film Awards. Some of them were quite entertaining. for e,g Anjali, Pushpak Vimaan and many more. Please name a few if you know any good movies folks.
Here's a sample of the past, some scenes might be not appropriate for certain ages below 18, Sorry about that. Parental Guidance is advised.

REGIONAL MOVIES: NATIONAL FILM AWARED
PUSHPAK VIMAN (KANNADA MOVIE ORIGINAL)
Pushpak (English title: The Love Chariot) is a black comedy Indian film released in 1988. Set in an large unnamed Indian city (shot in Bangalore), the film is based on the king-for-a-day story. The film is notable for its inventive recasting of the silent movie form. This movie was released again in different languages Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Malayalam. Though shot in color and featuring incidental noise, the film does not have any dialogues. However, unlike classic silent movies, the film has very little mouthing of dialog; instead, clever cinematography, implicit and physical communication, and creating scenes or shots where a dialog would plausibly be absent are used. Additionally, crafty camera placement is sometimes employed to rationalize the inaudibility of dialog.
It won the 1988 National Film Award for Best Popular Film.

Ting Tong...CHITRAHAAR Time!!!
Alright U Kids, finish-up your homework before you start watching the Movie songs. hmm!... isn't that the way, how it was earlier in those days? :) Feels good and wonderful to recall such cute memories. Don't we owe something to the old-idiot-box of 80s? that's why on behalf of you all, this is again a small tribute: to such an exciting program, series of Movie songs.
Funny facts: While watching Chitrahaar, I always used to wonder how the hell, do they change their outfits so quick in those songs? another thing what struck my mind: was about those people, lookin' pretty and running around the trees havin' a great time, dancing around!.. huh?..so I thought to myself, maybe it is "Fun" being a grown-up n doin' all that stuff.. ha ha! hey folks, I was just a kid with an weird imagination, YEAH Crazy thoughts I know ;) but the major "catch" to me was the Dancing and Music ..oh yes, that's what I loved to watch in this program and I bet some of you did to : ]
So dear friends, you can follow this link below to see if you could remember any of these numbers.
Watch these clips the same way it was show then.
Also here's another Blog dedicated to Bollywood Classic HIT Soundtracks with lyrics its called "HINDI VIDEO SONGS 'N' LYRICS"
Late night on 80s Doordarshan - Billboard Hits
Hey!! Remember those late night shows on Doordarshan somewhere from mid
to late 80s, Movies and there were series of English songs..Ring a
bell? popular among College students in their time and to us it was
School Nights but somehow thru big brothers and sisters, we got the
Music Mania heat too. Western Music was new and Fantastic! learned about
Billboard Countdown show n lot of amazing hits of that time. One
among them was this song by Various artists called "We are the World" got popular around the town in English medium schools then.
There was no chance that we couldn't get hang of it :) always singing in
Chorus for competitions or talent shows, it just felt Good. So guess it was quite
a HIT, might have been played in no. of convent or Bishop Schools of
the country at Christmas time to bring Peace and Harmony.
There were many other popular songs that did well in India like Summer of 69 or Just beat it!... Another brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd and so forth.
Many of them thought, Billboard hits was similar to the "Chitrahaar" program as in English nos, it was a series of English songs with ratings and unlike Bollywood movie songs here there were no continuous Hollywood movie soundtracks but just a few. In the West from decades together the concept was of an Independent Music Album of an Artist or a Band produced by the Record Co'es and after many years by mid 90s, this type of concept was introduced in the Indian Music industry too. The Indi-pop culture came up and it did pretty Good in the market, I recall of the early artists like Baba Sehgal, Suchitra Krishnamurthy or Apache Indian(UK artist) who did some albums in India.
Funny fact: For sometime, people thought Billboard hits had got to do something with Hoardings of ads that we see all over the cities :)
Billboard is a Music chart that shows the top 100 songs from around the world. Actually its a Magazine all about Music News from the Music Industry and the frequency of hits were determined every week. It showed the top 100 charts of the week and the most popular were called as HOT 100 singles and again there are other titles like top Billboard 200 and so on. Just found out from the web that it is one of the the oldest trade magazines in the world. The First Issue by the United States was started way back in 1894...Wow!
Thinking about the show, I remember one of the Host, a girl named "Kennedy" who presented the Billboard in a very cool manner, made it very interesting by giving us some funny facts about the Artists and also talking about their achievements which was inspiring to us. I couldn't find her in any of the present programs as I was curious to know - what was she upto now? Yeaah some lost memories still diggin' for it!
Friends, if you have watched this show on the good old doordarshan channel, do you have any memories? I guess we fairly got to know about a lot of international artists from the 80s, their Albums and great songs. At that time my most fav nos were of Madonna "Papa Don't preach", Bangles "Walk like an Egyptian", Cyndi lauper "Girls just wanna have fun", George Michael "Wake me up before you go go", Bruce Springsteen
"Born in the USA", Bon Jovi " Blaze of Glory" and other famous artists like Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, Tina turner, Elton John, Dionne Warwick, Whitney Houston...n also if you remember from the 70s till 90s there were many Great Rock bands from the US, UK Australian and Canadian countries and I assume in India the US and UK Bands were more popular to name a few in Rock bands are Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Rolling Stones, U2, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin..and in Pop there were ABBA, Genesis, Bee Gees, Beach boys, The Beatles and the list could go on, I better stop :)
So all this info we got to know better from this particular show "Billboard hits" aired on Doordarshan for a very short period of time which rocked our world for sometime and then it was cancelled for certain reasons which I do not know. Anyways if you're lucky you could find your favorite Music videos on Youtube.
Please follow this Playlist if you would like to enjoy some of the Billboard Hits of 80s!
Here's a collection of some videos, hope it refreshes your memory.
