Happy Family Conditions Apply

Very well executed the concept of dysfunctional family with very good comic timing.

However I felt the show could have been @ Sarabhai vs Sarabhai level if the following points would have been addressed: 1. Intro of the family was very quick so it takes some time to get familiar with the characters. A narrator could have filled the gap though, Atul Kulkarni would have been a very good narrator.

2. Satish Shah would have been a better choice than Raj Babbar as he would bring better humor to the character 3. Ratna pathak character is my personal favorite but only once we get familiar with her humor. And once we do she is a real star.

4. At some places the script becomes unrealistic especially the "terrorist attack". The attack looked totally FAKE. I believe creators tried something funny in the attack too.

Having watched just the first 2 episodes of this series, It's safe to say that Jamnadas Majethia needs to refresh his fictional family setup. This easily passes off as a stale Sarabhai knockoff. To avoid being this it needs a totally new outlook.

Multiple similarities with Sarabhai of which a few are: Rich & high class Gujarati family in Mumbai, English correction & teaching amongst family members, getting lost in their own idiosyncrasies, daughter with a funny/weird, thinking/replying approach in son-in law etc.

I have no issue in him repeating few of his previous actors in his new works - he does the same in his present other work Wagle ki Duniya (which seems better than this as of now?) Have to wait & watch, maybe this will get better down the line?

The series is titled HAPPY FAMILY but for sure it will not make you happy

Firstly you cannot see this series with your family as there is much of foul language secondly there is no such major topic to bang on thirdly the expected humour was below expectations it's not that fresh like sarabhai which you see midnight and get really happy

Major mistake they made by only releasing 4 episodes whereas I think a comedy or a thriller should be released entirely season to season

Only the 4 th episode made me laugh rest first there were just too loud

Atul Kulkarni was marvellous and others were just ordinary.

Loved it... Light weight ... Comedy show. Ratna Pathak steals the show. Dont know...why people wrote bad reviews. The show is not stereotyping any region, but people have the tendency to make big deal out of everything nowadays.

Not necessarily that everything should make perfect sense in entertainment. And people who are comparing it with Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, should realize even the characters in that series were not perfect. Infact the characters were quite unreal. Every actor in this show acted well. The show is also giving good and noteworthy messages... Looking forward for next season...

The last good family comedy content I watched was Sandwich Forever on Sony Liv. After a long, a good family comedy content is back.

Ratna Pathak Shah as Hemlata is fabulous. It feels like I am again watching Sarabhai Vs. Sarabhai. Atul Kulkarni as Ramesh Dholakia is remarkable. Raunaq Kamdar is stunning. All other star cast was memorable, this is what a comedy content always misses, but this one doesn't.

I loved the show. The show was not still like the old previous shows of Hats of prduction, like Khichdi & Sarabhai, but it is worth watching. I wish they release more episodes very soon.

In nutshell, don't miss this one.
