A simple idea that works well as a high quality budget production having three central characters in a contemporary nuclear family. It is filmed within a fully kitted out household set to look like a lived-in home. I reckon they had a right laugh making it. The story is based around high-school graduate Ishaan Sharma and his liberal middle-class parents. Online comments suggest it is only slightly exaggerated behaviour of families behind closed doors within the culture. This is modern India. It can be as cringe-worthy as you would expect from the title but is mostly amusing to watch the hapless Ishaan talk himself out of typical teenage boy scrapes to his parents over a ~10m story per episode. It doesn't matter that much about the language divide, although authorised videos have full subtitles. There is enough to get the gist from expressions, tones and context, even for ND me. Modern Hindi uses some English words for contemporary items or concepts. I liked the lead actor from his guest role in
Episode #1.1 (2017) of The Good Karma Hospital so this find was welcome. Individual episode reviews to follow.
