Flop Show

It's a great comedy tv series, every episode is great and it's one of the best if not best comedy tv serials ever aired before 2000 on indian screens. In my childhood I watched it's all episodes and still whenever I rewatch it, it's quite reshreshing.

In the present day dominated by saas-bahu serials, series like this one make us wonder what could have been if the trend would have never started. It is a satire on the everyday lives of Indians at its period of release which is still applicable to the present day 25 years later.

This series shows that comedy is possible without being loud and melodramatic. It shows the corruption of the common people of the country. Each episode focuses on a different topic of corruption like fake doctor slips for medical allowance or house grabbing etc.

Jaspal Bhatti, the lead actor in the series has been awarded Padma Bhushan posthumously for his roles in series like this one and is called as the "Singh of Comedy".

This flop show is actually a biigest superhit. Worth watching.

I have watched a of punjabi movies produced and directed by Jaspal Bhatti and i really liked the way he mocked and made fun of political situations.I was always a fan of his work but recently i came to know from a friend about the Flop Show which i believe was a superhit show. With its funny comic timing and great jokes plus the time at which the show was made make it the best comic show ever produced in the Indian T.V. industry. Even today the comic timing and the style in which Jaspal Bhatti executed his jokes remains unmatched. Unfortunately Jaspal Bhatti is no more today but will forever be remembered for his excellent cinematic art which he showed in flop show and various other shows of his.

Flop Show is one of the greatest comedy serials of India. I still remember that as a child I used to burst into peals of laughter while the serial was in progress. It was a brilliantly directed satire and highlighted the level of corruption at that point in time. Jaspal Bhatti played the lead role and was flawless in presenting comedy on screen. The other cast included his wife Savita Bhatti, Vivek Shauq and many others.

The best part of this series was that it was different from all other series at that time and even today because of the fact that THERE WERE NO FAKE BACKGROUND LAUGHS GOING ON LIKE IN MANY OTHER SERIALS. The serial had the potential to tickle the funny bone in its viewers and i give it a 10 on 10 rating from my side. TRULY, A CLASSIC FOREVER!!!
