The serial introduced us to the great warrior and king of Mysore, Tipu Sultan. It was grand with elaborate sets, tight script and some really good acting. The music was composed by Naushad; I still remember the title track. Kile Ka Rahasya (1989) Ye hai abhishapt kila. Sadiyon purana. Bhool kar bhi isme mat jaana. This tune followed by a woman's scream on television every Tueday night.
1990s the era of Doordarshan (DD) Channel serials and shows, when we didn’t had cables, set-top box, DTH, or multiplexes, it was the only mode of sheer entertainment. This is the time, when many bollywood greats actors started their career and established their fame on Indian screen. Few of the notable ones are Vidya Balan in Hum Panch, Shekhar Suman in Dekh Bhai Dekh, Rajit kapur in Byomkesh Bakshi, Sourabh Shukla in Tehkikat, Akhilendra Mishra & Irfan Khan in Chandrakanta. TV viewers of this era, has probably seen the most dramatic change in entertainment and media industry than anyone else, right from watching serials on Doordarshan to sharing this on Youtube, Twitter and Facebook, life-time experience.
