The Office

Coming from a huge US Office fan, it's a decent remake with Indian touch, Dwight's actor is good, I found the Jagdeep character irritating at first but then after 2-3 episodes you will see that he is doing an amazing job, atleast trying to keep it in his own style, it's still better than the daily soaps out there, you will have fun watching it, Jim's and Pam's character are a little turn off, same with Kevin's, he seems smart in it but if you don't compare it with the UK or US version, 1st episode is boring, but it's the 2nd episode which will grip you to watch it. Try it and don't compare it with the other one.

Watched an episode and a half, couldn't go any further. It's a half-decent attempt to recreate the magic that the good folks of Scranton once created. I'm not sure whether they would be able to recreate the same magic if the makers ever decided to come back for another season.

Someone who has even watched the whole series (multiple re-runs in our case) or even snippets on youtube, may not find this version amusing. The jokes and situations are literally translated and Michael's unintentional humour has been replaced with lazy Hindi/Punjabi jokes which very rarely land. The actors, especially the ones who play Michael's, Jim's & Pam's character, have put in a lot of effort, but the glue that binds the whole show, i.e. the legendary Dwight Shrute, is MIA. Gopal Dutt is without a doubt a great actor, but in this case he seems to be a miscast.

I'd rather watch another re-run of the US Office than going through the Hindi translated version of it.

If ure a fan of US/UK office, that's good. Rewatch it. Ofcourse well cringe if we compare this show to original one. They had huge budget and an amazing cast. Give these ppl a chance. Ask ur mom, dad, grandparents or anyone who can't watch English show and have no other option but to watch the Indian TV serials. Give these ppl a chance. Who knows we may get high budget remakes or Original comedy entertainment shows in future. Show a little optimism.

I am huge fan of the US Version of The Office, which is the only reason why I am even watching this show at the first place. Characters of Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute are absolutely disappointing in the Indian version. The first 3 episodes were really boring. But there are a few laughs here & there after 4th episode. Not a good remake though.

While this is a re-make, I believe that in later part of the series... episode 7,8 onwards, there is considerable improvement in the series. In the dialogue quality, in acting, and directing There is quite a good character development. Earlier I had given it 3 stars... now changing to 8 stars.

So far watched 13 episodes... looking forward to more.
