Buniyaad

TRP Report reveals that old shows are doing well during this lockdown period. Read on to know more.

The pioneer of the soap opera in India, Manohar Shyam Joshning passed away early morning today in Delhi. The author and litterateur who had penned pathbreaking shows like <em>Buniyaad, Hum Log</em> and <em>Mungeri Lal ke Haseen Sapne</em> among others, had also been a dubbing artiste of repute. He dubbed for films like Appu Raja and Hey Ram.

Today's generation of TV viewers are in for a treat. From 26 January onwards, when they switch on SaharaOne at 8 pm Monday through Saturday they will have an opportunity to enjoy what the previous generation did in the form of the ever fresh television classic <em>Buniyaad</em>. The network is all set to re create the magic of a young couple growing up in an India bedevilled by religious strife and the travails of their family after that.

Vijayendra Ghatge and Soni Razdan, television veterans, will soon enter the <em>Kohinoor</em> storyline. Ghatge, who's been part of landmark serials like <em>Buniyaad</em> on Doordarshan in the past, will play Yaadvendra, a rich industrialist with a shady past. An influential person, it's rumoured that one of the reasons for his fast growth is his ability to convince people in the government to form policies that suit him and his business. He has muscle power and is an art collector by nature.
