In today’s fragmented world of entertainment, I haven’t a clue about shows on the gazillion channels, much less follow their story.
With too many shows and each one watching their own, I wonder if we will ever have a cult figure like ‘Kroor Singh’ again, whose ‘yakku’s are still doing the rounds in our collective memories.
I know I sound like the elderly lady who sits in the courtyard and mourns today because yesterday was so much better.
I think I would give up 'personalized entertainment' for a Chandrakanta experience which still brings people together to reminisce.
So sing along for old time’s sake. Lyrics are below (I know it by heart, just in case you were wondering)
Chandrakanta ki kahaani badi lagati hai suhani
Yeh purani ho kar bhi badi lagti hai mastani
Naugadh vijaygadh mein thi takaraar
Naugadh ka tha jo raj kumar
Chandrakanta se karta tha pyar
PS: If any of you have the original soundtrack do lemme know. My obsession with it continues. Oh and a guy has sung it on youtube.
Update: Trivia by s4r4bh : Nazim and Ahmed were Kroor Singh's sidekicks in the show
Haah ! Us oldies ... I've been humming the Mahabharata soundtrack ( !! ) the last few days and couldn't believe that some of the younger lot in office hadn't heard that ever !
ReplyDeleteThat really brought back a lot of old memories.. esp the yakku bit..lol!! Oh and I totally support the "giving up 'personalised entertainment'for a Chandrakanta experience" anyday!!
ReplyDeleteOk Chandrakaanta trivia for you .. :D
ReplyDeleteName the two sidey characters of Kroor Singh ! :D And what happens when you slap Kroor Singh on his head?
lol i think there's a Kroor Singh in one of the Star Plus soaps too... cant remember the name of the soap... they're all the same! LOL
ReplyDeleteafter chandrakanta, on the same lines was HATIM but it did not capture the mind as the former..not only kroor singh's yakku dimag..but even mogli.."jungle jungle pata chala hai"..the title song..
