Sunil Gavaskar bearing the torch amidst rainfall is actually symbolic. Indeed, on numerous occasions he had to keep one end intact while he saw wickets tumbling on the other end and save his team from certain defeat!!!
this gave me goosebumps and I almost had tears. love u great country India. I was a kid when this came on DD. just look at all of them who despite not getting the modern day facilities made the country proud. I feel people were more united in those times compared to now. jai hind
Wow goosebumps! I was 7 and we used to watch it on our B&W TV... Our place didn't even have electricity- we used to run the TV attached with crocodile clips onto a car battery. Life wasn't easy- but somehow we were still happy and carefree.
Pure nostalgia. Only 80s kid would understand what this meant. Some great sports personalities like Banerjee, Prakash padukone , PT USHA, Nirupama mankad,🙏
Yes. The sublime level of this cannot be matched today. I keep listening to “mile sure mera tumhara” all the time and I am in USA for last 24 years. The time of Doordarshan was time of balance, unlike today it is the time of excess and extremism.
At half way of my life (35), I really miss my childhood. These memories that I relish everyday also remind me that my maa is no more with me as she used to .......Miss u maa. And thanks doordarshan for wonderful memories.
The first songs in the memorable series Lok Seva Sanchar Parishad by Lok Seva Sanchar Parishad was 1988 video song “Freedom Run” that most folks would remember as “The Torch Song” or "Torch of Freedom" (the actual name of the video). It was first telecast on Doordarshan on the day of Indian Independence - 15th August. The video was shot by Kailash Surendranath and produced by Aarti Surendranath for (both, now, of Kailash Picture Company) The next video in this series was Mile Su Mera Tumhara (the one with the stars from various fields. Music, again, by Louis Banks, lyrics by Piyush Pandey). Unlike other integration Lok Seva songs that followed, Torch of Freedom song was an instrumental with a memorable tune created by famous Indian Jazz virtuoso Louis Banks, prolific creator of many memorable tunes that vary from the theme of the serial Byomkesh Bakshi to that of Jaspal Bhatti’s Flop Show to what was then known as “new tune” of DD news. This freedom song can be found in their album Freedom Songs. 1988 was an Olympic year, and (my guess is that) the video for this song was recorded keeping Olympic spirit in mind. The song featured many famous Indian sports personalities of the time and showed each one carrying a lit "freedom" torch that they passed on to the next sports person after a shot sprint (mostly in slo-mo) through varying locations. I remember Sunil Gavaskar coming out of a tunnel, all drenched in rain but with flame still burning. The rain wasn't planned. P.T. Usha running along with deers. Shot beautifully in a zoo using only two cameras and okayed in just one take. Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi running with her young daughter - little Soha Ali Khan. She wasn't supposed to be there. But she insisted on running along with her father. Two videos were shot, one with her and one without her. Finally, the one with her was left in the final video. The video also had other recognizable sporting stars like Kapil Dev, Prakash Padukone and Milkha Singh. Rajiv Gandhi is the person credited with thinking up the need for these musical harps and commissioning the videos. Having lived in America, he wanted to bring in the American way of feeling pride in national identity. He wanted Indians to be proud of their one Indian Identity. And he wanted it all to be done apolitically. Hence the harps. You can well, call them Congress Harps. The reason being that the harps stopped playing as soon as the Congress lost the center of the nation. With coalition government, liberalization, and center with the Right, harps went out of fashion. Even became inadequate. Remember superstar ladden Pyar ki Ganga Bahe video that was born post Babri Masjid related riots and violence during Narasimha Rao time (he even commited the blunder of featuring in one). This was perhaps the last one. The harps had lost their charm. It was the end of an era that had started with an unpretentious video set to a simple instrument piece. Freedom.
sir how can i share your valuable information regarding facts of tgis beautiful shoot/documentary?? please post it on fb or any other social site so that i can be able to share it
Thank you sir for the amazing info. It did certainly inspire our generation born in the 80s and were just little kids when these videos were launched in 1988. Goosebumps those days and still today. I got nostalgic today and searched for these on youtube today and found them. Tears in my eyes today...I just want DD to rerun all these and those shows in the 90s on a dedicated channel. The kids today need it. This stuff is so much better than a lot of trash on the satellite channels today. Jai Hind.
यह गाना तब के समय (1990's) याने नब्बे के दशक में दूरदर्शन पें देखने को ऊस वक्त की युवा पिढी बहुत तरसती थी। यह गाना आज देखते समय उन दिनों की बहुत पुरानी यादें ताजा हो गयी और यहां कॉमेंट बॉक्स में मेसेज टाईप करते समय भी मैं अपने आंसू रोख नही सका। बिलकुल कुछ वैसे ही "मिले सूर मेरा तुम्हारा", इस गाने पर भी आजतक बस यही अनुभव है। तब अपने देश के कुछ महान व्यक्ति हम सिर्फ ऐसे दो चार गानों में ही देख पाते थे जिससे बड़ा सुकून भी मिलता था और फक्र भी होता था। पूरे गाँव में एक या दो टीव्ही, दो या तीन टेलिफोन और शायद उतने ही ट्रांझिस्टर्स हुआ करते थे। आज के जैसे तब न कोई मोबाईल था न कोई अन्य गॅजेट्स थे फिर भी आज से कई गुना ज्यादा मजा उन दिनों में आता था। दोज वेर गोल्डन डेज ऑफ नाईन्टीज किड्स.. 🤗❤️🥰🇮🇳 और सच में जैसा कहां जाता था वैसे ही भारत सोने की चिड़िया लगती थी।
I had tears in my eyes as I shared this beautiful nostalgic music with my elder sister who is on COVID duty in the hospital. We must keep the flame burning as we fight the invisible virus.
Ahhh...those days....goosebumps after watching this....simplicity was there .no show off...wow....my childhood@♡♡♡♡♡ ..don't know the names of all runners except kapil sir milkha ji gavaskar sir...pataudi ji...
Tears in my eyes of nostalgia.. this tune adrenalines my emotions.. but then I observe that off all the topographies, Kashmir or snow has been ignored brutally which makes me rethink over my emotions.. Bit, we all love our India and definitely love this tune to core of our existence as a sporting nation with zist and conviction.. Jai Hind Vande Mataram 🙏🏻🚩🇮🇳💖
@Upanishadik Liberal it was advancing in technology, business, import export and various sector. it was moving from 19 to 21 century as a developing nation.
Original soundtrack is from a classic movie Chariots of Fire with Piano. This was the modified version. But such nostalgia to relive those beautiful childhood moments of watching it on doordarshan. 😍😍😍😍
Beautiful absolutely beautiful sound track. Class video. A rush of nostalgia in my heart and tears in my eyes. What days, what era, when there was no toxic social media and people had more heart.
Many people might be wondering as to why was Sunny Gavaskar drenched while carrying the torch!!! During the course of the shooting (near a tunnel), there was heavy rain and the shooting had to be completed, because Sunny was to travel overseas the next day to represent the country. Plus, the shooting could not be postponed. Hence, it was decided that, whilst it was raining, the shooting would take place and that is exactly how Sunny is seen in the video, jogging - while being drenched
freedom run was actually first aired on dd in 1987 and mile sur was first aired or telecast whatever u speak on dd in 15 th aug.1988.........(100% correct info)
Main jab bhi apne bachpan ke samay ka DD ka koi bhi ad ya koi bhi video dekhta hoon toh sach main aankhen chalak jati hain. Ab toh aisa lagta hai ki itne channels ke saath desh ki mitti ki khushboo kahin kho gayi hai
Lol. Those golden days when our country was rife with massive internal issues. Let’s not confuse our childhood when we hardly had a care about the world outside our bubble with some kind of Utopian fantasy.
@@filistatirkey9973 more like a fools paradise... where everything was wrong...and just made to look good... anyday better to live the truth... and face reality...instead of fake...unreal...downright wrong practices...due to which our country has not risen above poverty illiteracy...people who wanted to keep india poor and illiterate were at work through every generation's childhood in the past 60 plus years... we see that reality today...hope it is not going to be the same for today's children...it wont...they are seeing every aspect of life the way it is...the way it should be...
The film makes me very nostalgic even when I am not watching it, just remembering its visuals and inspiring music. Gone are those wonderful days..Life was so beautiful, so simple. The artist who composed the musical score is Louis Banks. The notes are so simple and easy going. He mentioned in one of his interview that the opening notes are influenced by a popular song of Pancham-Kishore .. "hum bewafa hargiz na the.." from the film 'Shalimar'. Louis was a long time associate and musician with Rahul Dev Burman (aka Pancham).
It was released in the backdrop of Seoul olympics in 1988. I was barely 4 years old. But i had seen it on television in early 90’s. I had forgotten all about it till I heard it as a ringtone on my colleague’s cell phone few days back. It triggered a memory. A lot of frantic search on google lead me here. It reminds me of simpler times. We had a typical big joint family with uncle aunts and cousins. I miss those simple and carefree days when all I cared about was two meals a day and not getting beaten up by dad and uncle for number of crazy things I did as a kid. Will always have a special place in a corner of my heart where I have preserved it as a reminder of love and innocence in this crazy mad money driven world.
This video takes me back to my childhood thr memories nostalgic, I wish we all Indians irrespective of caste religion and creed live like this once again. The politics has divided us n torn us apart and I wish we see this india once again .
Full credits to Rajiv Gandhi and Congress to nurture the secularism. The contrast is so obvious- not once did the symbol or name of party or leaders came even in the end! 😂 Can't imagine that in today's times. In an era when being secular was considered a virtue and overall there was no open political validation of discrimination, great vision by Doordarshan, Lok Seva Sanchar Parishad!
This was a time when we saw strength in diversity. There was individual as well as collective pride! So sad to see whats going on in India today! God save India..
Nostalgic moments ! Remember my childhood in the early 80’s and 90’s. Watching this in 2024 , who else ??

Thanks Doordarshan for making my childhood beautiful 🙏

beautiful era of television history 80s-90s

Wow goosebumps! I was 7 and we used to watch it on our B&W TV... Our place didn't even have electricity- we used to run the TV attached with crocodile clips onto a car battery. Life wasn't easy- but somehow we were still happy and carefree.
We used inspire to listen this tune...in childhood
Childhood nostalgia....who ever comments on this , should ideally now be in the age bracket of 40's :) - Great golden days
By the end of this song my eyes were in tears and felt the most beautiful feeling on earth, being an Indian, Bharat matha ki jai 🇮🇳🙌 🙏
Same feeling bro
ऐसा लगता है.... कभी कभी तो की वो 90th वाले दिन कही दूसरी दुनिया के थे...आज हम किसी दूसरी दुनिया में हे....
Pure nostalgia. Only 80s kid would understand what this meant. Some great sports personalities like Banerjee, Prakash padukone , PT USHA, Nirupama mankad,🙏
Unforgettable moments from my childhood. Had tears in my eyes watching this. Jai Hind 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Love you Doordarshan to make our childhood unforgettable (80s) by making such a melodious National song and showing unity among all of them ..
Exactly yashwant sir I also remember 80s days n years May Allah bless you and your family.Aameen Jai Hind

यह गाना तब के समय (1990's) याने नब्बे के दशक में दूरदर्शन पें देखने को ऊस वक्त की युवा पिढी बहुत तरसती थी।

बिलकुल कुछ वैसे ही "मिले सूर मेरा तुम्हारा", इस गाने पर भी आजतक बस यही अनुभव है।
तब अपने देश के कुछ महान व्यक्ति हम सिर्फ ऐसे दो चार गानों में ही देख पाते थे जिससे बड़ा सुकून भी मिलता था और फक्र भी होता था।
पूरे गाँव में एक या दो टीव्ही, दो या तीन टेलिफोन और शायद उतने ही ट्रांझिस्टर्स हुआ करते थे।
आज के जैसे तब न कोई मोबाईल था न कोई अन्य गॅजेट्स थे फिर भी आज से कई गुना ज्यादा मजा उन दिनों में आता था।

Yess...totally agree
I second this
Tears in my eyes yaar.
Need to show this on every channel even today
That would unite people under sheer feel of oneness. Channels these days do not want that to happen.
Actually this song should be played in theatres instead of the national anthem...
Pure goosebumps...

Mee too
@Cool Kid thanks dear,
Tears rolling from my eyes.. With flashback of childhood memories...
One nation one channel at that time no cable tv ,no dish tv ,no mobile, life was simple and beautiful
India was more modern in 90's than now
agree
@Upanishadik Liberal it was advancing in technology, business, import export and various sector. it was moving from 19 to 21 century as a developing nation.
@Upanishadik Liberal its modern now .. what about the growth rate and advancement to become a stable economy ? is it the same ?
@Upanishadik Liberal recent, new, related to presrnt day and moving to future... adhunik, naya , i guess i am right ?
And I would have loved if it had stayed that way. Even the colour of 90s videos is so heartwarming!
Literally I got tears to watch my childhood memories in front of my eyes.
These are golden days era of television.❤️🌹🍎🤔😊
Freedom run. For miles and miles. From one corner of the country to the another
who ever composed this is an absolute genius .100 times better than the current shit music composers
Louis Banks
must be inspired from Vangelis - To the unknown man
This was India's version of Chariots of fire.
The poetic beauty in the frame when Shri. PT Usha runs along with gazelles on those meadows! Coincidental, but simply made the shot complete!
Original soundtrack is from a classic movie Chariots of Fire with Piano. This was the modified version. But such nostalgia to relive those beautiful childhood moments of watching it on doordarshan. 😍😍😍😍
It’s been so many years now.. but still I get goosebumps whenever I listen..
Yes brother
Beautiful absolutely beautiful sound track. Class video. A rush of nostalgia in my heart and tears in my eyes. What days, what era, when there was no toxic social media and people had more heart.
one just used to keep watching still when this one used to come on dd. very inspirational
0:14 *Legendary P.K. Benerjee* Rest in Peace 😥🙏
Pierces the heart directly, what a masterpiece, nostalgic! Watching it in the flow we didnt even realize that the whole video was in slow motion.
Milkha Singh running strides are absolutely terrific. followed by PT Usha, Kapil Dev.. they really look athletic and fit. So does Prakash Padukone.
Many people might be wondering as to why was Sunny Gavaskar drenched while carrying the torch!!! During the course of the shooting (near a tunnel), there was heavy rain and the shooting had to be completed, because Sunny was to travel overseas the next day to represent the country.

Hence, it was decided that, whilst it was raining, the shooting would take place and that is exactly how Sunny is seen in the video, jogging - while being drenched

And that's absolutely fine, I suppose
Really I miss the black and white tv set of mine those were golden days no whatsapp no Facebook just friends

My favrt part is running hiran.❤️🌹🍎😊
The innocence and Happiness of those time is lost in the so called today's fast life. Really missing those day's
That slo-mo of PT Usha in lock step with the deer in perfect form is magical!
I had tears in my eyes after seeing this! They don't make them like this anymore! Ols is Gold! 👌
I get goosebumps when I Watch it ....It used to come on DD when I was Lil kid.....Totally Nostalgic experience
Brought back fond nostalgic moments. Thanks
My god while watching it my eyes are just full of tears. Our beautiful childhood and crystal clear Doordarshan messages.
I love this theme song

Oh my childhood memories !!❤
Beautiful world beautiful era 80s 90s miss you 😢
Nostalgia is a sweet pain...
I got goosebumps.. Wish we could re make freedom run once again
I was listening to chariots of fire 1981 by Vangelis and that reminded me of this song.
This video takes me back to my childhood thr memories nostalgic, I wish we all Indians irrespective of caste religion and creed live like this once again.
The politics has divided us n torn us apart and I wish we see this india once again .
Watching it again and again !
Felt so relaxed listening and seeing this...All childhood memories got refreshed...
The athletes and sportspersons of India are legends, global citizens and global ambassadors.

Freedom Run and Mile Sur Mera Tumhara are the Best of Bests creation by Doordarshan. Only 80s kids can relate to.

What a great Run song of 80s era...
P T Usha running with the deers amazing 😍
the anthem of the 80s... Louis Banks' Vangelis (Chariots of fire) moment
To some extent,this legendary music is India's version of Vangelis' " The Chariots of Fire " ...
Only better
bring back my childhood memory thank you very much sir
Tears rolling,what a great country we have lost
