Epidsode one commences with he lead character, Swami asleep. Further on a teacher in a primary school is fighting over Hindu and Christian religion. Carnatic Musician L. Vidyanathan composed the score for this series and this is one of those musical pieces which stay with you.
Cinematography from the point of view of those days is very good, with bright and contrasting frames.The low side no doubt is the editing. In three-four occasions, it is clearly visible that there was a cut in between, whose bits and pieces were not added together perfectly.
Shifting from the technical specifications,the serial was directed Shankar Nag, and was shot entirely near Agumbe district of Karnataka.It was one of the gems produced by Doordarshan when there was no other channel.The atmosphere and the mood that the episodes create are something very positive, wholesome, and nostalgic.
The stories are simple yet moving.What really makes these short stories leave an indelible mark on your memory is: Coherent and very identifiable characters who are struggling for better living or for more happiness.
You will be fascinated at the ease with which these men managed to craft the rhythm of the life in the stories of Malgudi.The message that 'Malgudi Days' conveys represents every human emotion there ever was and every personality there ever will be. A new dimension. A new light. Draped in the practicality we are so used to, it hid within the simple nothings of life that are everything.The credit indeed goes to great stories written by R K Narayan. Without these stories it would have been impossible to create such profound impact by these episodes.
