Malgudi Days

Drama22 min per episode

In the small South Indian town of Malgudi, everyday lives turn into self-contained dramas. Each story follows different people—a talkative vendor, a schoolboy, a lonely old man, a dreamer chasing luck—as ordinary routines give way to misunderstandings, small schemes, family tensions, and sudden reversals. The series moves through the streets, homes, and shops of the town, showing how pride, hope, fear, and rumor can reshape a single day. Based on R. K. Narayan’s short stories and directed by Shankar Nag, it builds its world through brief encounters and quiet conflicts, with Malgudi itself holding the episodes together.
