The same old saas-bahu relationship but with a twist.
Sarabhai vs Sarabhai is a story of upper class family residing in the Malarbar Hills. All goes well till the elder son of the family marries a middle class girl. From here starts the complaining of the mother-in-law who is fed up of the middle class attitude of her daughter-in-law and never leaves a moment to insult her. But the latter is the ‘nosey’ daughter of a detective and equally returns her mother-in-law’s attacks. The only victim who suffers in all this, is the poor son who doesn’t want to hurt his mom or keep his wife unhappy, thus he becomes the scrape goat every time. All this creates humorous situations which forms the base of the drama. The characters include Indravadan, the head of the family, who is a retired director of a multinational company and is really a child at heart. He loves his wife and can never say her no in anything. He also likes his daughter-in-law and tries to help her in every possible way. Maya is his wife(the mother-in-law) who only wants the best for her family and can do anything to maintain her status. Thus her dislike for Monisha(her daughter-in-law ) is obvious. And since Monisha is aware of this, she tries every possible way to offend her mother-in-law. Like once she quite innocently emptied a container of Dal on the head of Maya’s renowned guest. Her father was a detective and she seems to have got the same inquisitive genes in her. Committed to her husband, she sometimes also mothers him, knowing that he is innocent and well-meaning. Sahil is the elder son of the family and the poor husband who always suffers between his mother and his wife. He is a plastic surgeon by profession. He is the only rational character who brings things in equilibrium. The other character includes Rosesh, he is a typical mama's boy who is a bachelor because of his mom's finicky nature. He is very uppity and a wannabe actor. He also considers himself to be a great poet and seldom writes poetry on any topic he could lay his eyes on. For instance he once wrote a poetry on three legged dog, and another on a scooter. The entire family is irritated of this and the members run in every possible direction even before he starts reciting his poetry. Sarabhai vs Sarabhai is a classic comedy that brings together veterans Satish Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah with Sumeet Raghavan and Rupali Ganguli. They have wonderfully enacted their characters. The situations picked are hillarous where one automatically enjoys the show without being forced to laugh. This show is definitely recommended if one is looking for the same saans-bahu relationship but with such a twist that makes you laugh instead.
