Patiala Babes: More Than a Show, An Emotional Journey

Image
 So I had watched this show a little bit at its original air time in 2018–19, but at that time I was super busy with my studies, which is why I couldn't follow it. All I remember was that it had the same trope as Anupama of an Indian housewife who is cheated on by her husband, and then an inspector, Hanuman Singh, came into her life. All these years, I just remembered that Hanuman Singh was a funny guy with a Haryanvi accent. But after rewatching Jodha Akbar, I again became fond of Paridhi Sharma and started watching this drama, Patiala Babes, and I am speechless. I have not seen a show much more emotional than this. There were times when I myself felt like crying for the characters.  I don't know whether it was because of its excellent music, its amazing screenplay, or its story. I don't know, but I have only felt like crying for a TV scene for the third time. The first was when I watched KKKG as a kid. I don't know why, but I felt very emotional at the climax scene th...

Jodha Akbar: Not a Show But a Magic

Image
 I am a history lover specially the class 7th one. Delhi sultanate, mughals , central asian politics, khanate are the one which excites me and I regularly just swim through the wikipedia to find about politics of that period whereas it would be Mughals, Rajputs or Marathas. But sometimes we wish to see beyond wikipedia the portrayal of those men and women and their relationships that would mould the life of common people and in this search I binged watch Jodha Akbar serial by Ekta Kapoor on YouTube and I am just hypnotize by it. I watched it at its time of original aired reign. That time I was in class 6-7 and I would watch it with parents but now when I re watched it again I just fell in love with it. So let's just talk about it. Jodha Akbar: Not a Show But a Magic  So I can't wait more to just make the background of article and let's discuss according to me what makes this show magical and what makes it miles ahead of today's or even from it's contemporary shows a...

Lapataganj: A Breath of Fresh Air

Image
I still remember those nights when on SAB TV i watched shows like TMKOC at 8:30, Chidiya Ghar at 9, Lapataganj at 10, FIR at 10:30. Those were the golden old days of Indian television comedy. Now once sitting at home somehow I got a recommendation of a clip of Lapataganj and from past week I am again watching Lapataganj on YouTube and guess what it still feels relevant and fresh and the comic timing still lands. So let's find out why shows like Lapataganj are still like a breath of fresh air and why are they still holding same comic impact as earlier. Lapataganj: A Breath of Fresh Air  So what today we miss from the current slate of pop culture comedy movies and serials are the sense of relativity and the satire. In Lapataganj we see jokes and story lines on basic issues like poverty, lack of infrastructure, political development in countryside, unemployment ( through Biji Pandey) etc.  The series still feels fresh as the actors seems to be from the world of Lapataganj by thei...

Dhurandhar 2: How will Major Iqbal end

Image
 So after 10 years we have a spectacle like Bahubali which have its second part already in the editor 's box and we have some scenes of it teasing what would happen next. I still don't know whether releasing Dhurandhar 2 this fast is a good decision or not because it takes time for first part to reach its maximum audience. OTT is heard of 30 Jan but maximum impact is still generated by TV audience and I still think Singh and Dhar( naming style copied from Dhurandhar trailer) will push it to Independence day or a summer release from EID. Dhurandhar 2: How will Major Iqbal end Now after a 'Kasayinuma' Rehaman Dakait show we all next name in the death note of Hamza is of Major Iqbal and the Khannani brothers. But how will he accomplish it. Here are my 2 cents on it. Now in the end of movie it is shown that Hamza and Jamail conspired with SP Aslam and gave a Et tu brutus moment to Rehaman Baloch. Now after this in real life Uzair took over the gang of Balochs in Lyari and h...

Laughter Rebooted: 5 Story Arcs to save TMKOC

Image
It's 8:40 in the clock and while having dinner TMKOC is playing on the TV in background. This have been the routine of every hardcore TMKOC fan. But with each passing year the fans are becoming more and more irritated with the depleting humor and irrelevant story lines of the show and whenever in the afternoon they encounter with the OG old episodes the hate and frustration with the new episodes just gets bigger.  I am also one of those fans and like every gokuldham society lover I also have my wish list of story arcs that I feel could take the show close to it's glory days again. So here we go.   Laughter Rebooted: 5 Story Arcs to save TMKOC 1. A Tribute to Natu Kaka Natu Kaka have been an integral part of the show and this all is only possible because of Ghanshyam Nayak. Nayak with his acting made the show fun to watch and his facial expressions were top notch. But we all lost him during Covid times.  Now if I would have been in Asit's place I would have given trib...
