Sarabhai V/S Sarabhai

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.

It is undoubtedly the best Hindi TV Series.

It is famous amongst youngsters because they prefer witty, sarcastic punches which Satish Shah (Indravadan Sarabhai) delivers with such an ease. Intelligent jokes, which Sumeet Raghavan (Sahil Sarabhai) never fails to deliver. The silly comedy as depicted by Rupali Ganguly (Monisha Sarabhai) and Rajesh Kumar (Rosesh Sarabhai). And of course, the brilliant acting by Ratna Pathak Shah (Maya Sarabhai).

The thing that stands out for me, is, that apart from the main cast, the supporting cast is equally funny and brilliant.

Right from Madhusudhan Fufa's "hain, hain?", to Dushyant Sarabhai explaining each and every thing. Every character in this show has it's unique charm and is equally important.

The script of each and every episode is really good. I never felt that any joke is being repeated, or is being over-used, even though I have watched each episode at least 5 time (NO! I am not exaggerating)

It's one amongst those Hindi TV serials which can be said to match the level of shows like friends,two and a half men,big bang theory and how I met your mother in terms of sarcastic dialogs...Acting and intelligent humour.... I really hope they come up with it's second season already. It is time Indian television has had some intelligent 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.

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

This is unarguably one of the best sitcoms in Indian Television. We have had some nice funny TV shows but none of them are so nicely scripted.

The show had a very interesting and unusual cast. Crisp direction, Well researched scripts, and High IQ humor made it so much more interesting than other comedy shows on Indian TV channels.

Maya and Monisha's (Elite vs middle class) sequences are such a delight! And the best thing in the show was Rosesh's KILLER Poetry. So irritating yet so enjoyable:)

Too bad that we do not have another season coming! I still hope a new season starts someday.
