Nostalgia’s teeth bite hard. In this case they also chew carrots. Karamchand, the carrot chewing mystery solving genius with his air-brained secretary is back.
The director informs that characters of the protagonists and the feel of the story will more or less remain the same. But how different will the series be technically? Answers Parashar, “The sound and picture quality will, of course, be in keeping with today’s times. We used sync sound then, and are going to use sync sound now as well. We’ve kept the same music composed by Anand-Milind. What has changed, of course, is that a kilo of carrot cost Rs 2 then, and costs Rs 12 now.”
To those brought up on a steady appetite of Doordarshan programmes, Karamchand is reminiscent of times when we yearned for a desi detective. There was the fabulous Byomkesh Bakshi later, but Karamchand with its iconic satire was just incredible.
