There is no single second when i feel bored to watch it.. good luck!

It is difficult to watch a single episode of Permanent roommates without bursting into splits of laughter There are 5 episodes in all - each progressively longer than the previous - and each is a gem.

The series traces the story of a boy and girl in a long distance relationship - after the long distance stage and when they meet and think of renting an apartment.

Anyone who is looked for a flat to rent in any town / city in India will spot instant similarities to real life experiences - which would have been hilarious if they were not 100% true. Somehow watching it here makes them funny. Like the lost housing agent (aren't most of them?), the kind of houses shown, the issues one faces daily as an Indian youngster and a couple (and a father, and a government officer, and a...) The series is mostly in Hindi (a bit of English), but has English subtitles on you tube.

Don't miss it. I watched a few episodes more than once :)

Two seasons and two different reasons to watch this cocktail of masterpiece and absurdity.

Why a Masterpiece..!

Firstly because its an unprecedented effort to bring a quality web series to the Indian youths who were bored, exhausted and irritated with clichés of ekta kapoor and MTV stuffs. The Tvf have some of the rare and exceptional original-creatives such as Arunabh Kumar,Biswapati Sarkar,Nidhi Bisht and Sumeet Vyas,thus the creative mix brought by them and their actors are often of an assured quality.The act portrayed by Nidhi Singh as Tanya and Sumeet Vyas as Mikesh is both new and in melody with each other..in short brilliant.The character of lleo and purshottam brings an off charts humor and originality to the show. The twists,pause,camera angle and subtle humour are among the best we have seen till date in India.So till here you guys rock..

but...

When it gets Absurd..?

Well somewhere around the 2nd episode of Season 2..the moment Darshan Jariwala and Manu Rishi Chadha comes to the main plot,their presence in the screen is a waste.The similarity of the plot with 'Bang Baaja Baraat' and the question who inspired whom with commonality of Sumeet vyas is confusing to the viewers.Though 'the dinner'(episode 4) was a good plot pause but episode 5 was irrelevant to the continuity and brings a lot which could be avoided to bring the awesomeness of Asrani ji's character at last.The adequate pace in which Mikesh's character developed in season 1 is not followed in season 2,which is disappointing. Season 1 of PR was a balanced symphony of creativity,story flow, risk taking and new character introductions, which gets a bit clumsy in season 2.

In the End..

Permanent Roommates is one of the best and most sincere efforts brought by few of the finest young talents in India today..A must watch for the desi youths..You will find a lot to bond in here and will adore the way protagonists explore their life ahead..

After a while I have come across such a good Hindi show that imbibes humor, sarcasm and best of situational comedy. Best show on Indian TV after sarabhai vs sarabhai.. May be even better than that. The writing is so simple yet beautiful. The actors can act just apt and that is a perfect level... I love the character Mikesh. Do goody but extremely goofy.. And his GF's realism is so good for them.. And twists (which aren't really there) and kinks of the show are wonderful.

I would like to commend the TVF team for such a wonderful show.. As it is their other work like TMO and Rowdies have ROFL me but this show is a class apart which is an amalgam of humor, sensitivity, love wala romance and most of all STORY

Season 3 review - First 3 episodes were pretty light and i thought this is going to be a very basic show. I thought maybe you have used the same template and joke pattern. Nevertheless it was good. However episode 4th and 5th is what forced me to come and find you on IMDB. I didn't stop crying for the last 2 episodes. Its so good. Minimal stuff and maximum impact. Sumeet Vyas ka toh waise bhi i am a huge fan and Nidhi also is a brilliant actress. This couple makes it work. Very very underrated but am sure they are one of internets favourite couple. Glad Amazon could pick you up. Hope to see you a lot more. Thank you for a heartfelt season.
