Sarabhai V/S Sarabhai

I remember being blown away while watching 'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai' when it first aired in 2004. It was unlike anything on Indian television at the time. A trailblazer, different from the usual saas-bahu dramas. Even in terms of sitcoms, It was completely different. Refreshing, intelligent, witty and funny. It was addictive to watch. I fell in love with it immediately, right from the first episode. The writing ruled and the terrific cast just elevated it to another level. The main characters trademark quirks, be it Indravardhan's pranks or Maya's elegance or Monisha's craziness or Rosesh's poetry or Sahil's frustration, elevate normal-mundane situations to insane and out-of-control situations. Add to it the bonkers supporting characters and their quirks, Dushyant's helpfulness (ahem!) or Madhu-kaka's slight deafness (ahem!ahem!) added a whole level of insanity to the already insane situation. Creating plenty of laughs and making it one of the best shows of Indian Television. It was the perfect cocktail of great writing, smart directing and brilliant acting. No other show has been able to achieve this level of perfection. I watched it again recently and could reconnect with it immediately. It is as relevant in 2019 as it was in 2004. It has aged like fine wine. A Cult Classic for the ages.

No comedy program can touch the level of Sarabhai. Awesome family comedy.

Sarabhai vs Sarabhai is one of the best and the most sophisticated comedy show you will ever see.

Sahil, Roshesh, Maya and Indravadan are an atypical south mumbai family. Roshesh with his poems and mannerisms is absolutely humorous. Sahil with all his wittiness and solutions is right on money. Indravadan and Maya have unusual husband-wife quarrels. Maya with her upper class status always amuses me.

Enter Monisha - a middle class girl who marries Sahil and everything from there is a roller coaster ride.

The way Indravadan abuses Roshesh, roshesh's horrible poems, Maya and Monisha's fights and taunts - everything is just perfect.

To add icing to the cake is Dushyant. A gizmo's freak who is on the prowl to repair anything.

All in all a completely humorous show. Not a single second in each show will you feel bored.

Definitely on 10 things to do before you DIE !!! Watch this show..

10/10 for everything !!!

Sarabhai vs Sararbhai is probably the funniest Indian sitcom. There's no other show that even comes even close to it. The writing, the story and the characters are all just perfect. The gags and the jokes work very well as the characters are so nicely fleshed out and established.

I never get tired of watching Sarabhai again and again. It's funny, imaginative, different and brilliant. Never knew that this series will become an important part of my life. All my friends and family members love it. I adore this sitcom from my heart.

It's sad to see though that the series is lost and the producers had promised season 2 but that was 5 years ago! This is a lost classic and begs to be released on DVD. If you want, it's available on Youtube. But still it requires a proper tribute.

I really hope that in the next 10-20 years people will recognize this sitcom and do something about it. Because it's just too much fun and joys are plentiful.

Hats Off to the entire team!!!!
