Happy Family Conditions Apply

If you are a fan of JD and Aatish Kapadia's universe. This show will give you lots of deja vu moments from khichdi, baa bahu aur baby, Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and from lots of there other shows.

Light-hearted comedy scenes, quirky one-liners, nok jhok between characters (not forced felt organic), and a perfect amount of emotions are trademarks of hat's off-production and you will find them here as well.

Everyone is perfect in their characters, Atul Kulkarni is perfect, and lovely to see him in a different avatar but Ratna mam 1 hi dil he kitni baar jeetegi aap.

Waiting for the rest of the episodes.

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...

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.

Anwar Says: Reviewing it after all the episodes of first season are streaming . From the house of SARABHAI vs. SARABHAI and KHICHDI , the creator Atish Kapadia has been able to create the magic of humour and which does not sound stale. Story of four generation of a Gujju. Family, dysfunctional but staying together. Introduction of characters in the first episode is quick and smart and punch lines continued in almost every second dialogue.

Took off well but slowed down a bit with some repetition from sixth episode and the climax could have been better written. Dialogues are mundane and even non- Gujarati audience relate . Ratna Patna Shah, the Baa, who drinks champagne in a steel glass but doesn't eat onion, played the character different from Mrs. Maya Sarabhai. Other women characters like Ayesha Julka, Sanah Kapur and Minal Sahu are dominant. Raj Babbar is extra subdued and Atul Kulkarni initially struggles to gel but picks up after two episodes with the script.

Overall a fresh wind after so much of violence, sex and foul language on OTT, post Panchayat and Gullak . Watch two episodes every night while having dinner, even on weekdays, if not finished this weekend.

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.
