Sarabhai V/S Sarabhai

One of the most humorous shows to have ever been aired on Indian Television. It generated moments of sheer magic in my life and everyone else's, i presume. The very funny attributes the characters of the show are infused with,along with the brilliantly written dialogues of the show all add to the immense popularity that the show garnered amongst the masses. Truly changed the face of Indian T.V. Sarabhai was a pathbreaker and a trendsetter in every respect.

For every other shows that were aired after Sarabhai, it was difficult to follow fashion and match up to the standards set by Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. I wonder how many of them managed to surpass this. Extremely delighted that the DVD's have released.

I don't know how many times I have watching this show on repeat mode. You can still re-watch all the episodes without getting bored even once! There is not a single episode which will not make you laugh. India have produced so many great sitcoms like Flop Show, Shriman Shrimati, Office office, Khichdi, TMKOC etc but nothing can be compare with this classic. This show was brilliantly written and executed.

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

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.

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!!!!
