Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai Take 2, episode 1: Roshesh finds his love, a ‘singress’

The popular family of Sarabhai is back and everything is pretty much the same in the new season of the show Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai. Roshesh (Rajesh Kumar) continues to recite irritatingly weird poems, Monisha (Rupali Ganguly) is still the monstrously middle-class and Maya Sarabhai, aka Ratna Pathak Shah, snobbish.

But Maya looks like she is in for another dose of middle-class bad English in the first episode released on Tuesday, with a more weirder version of Monisha set to arrive as her second daughter-in-law.

The episode opens with the family stuck in a bus hanging over a cliff. They have a tough time figuring out ways to get out of the mess.

Roshesh finds his love, Jasmine, who is a theatre actress and “singress”. We also get to know that he will soon be the hero in a popular serial, Bahu Macchar, Beta Khacchar.

Though it is not a laugh riot. Sarabhai is still the sweet comedy that we know. The 25 minute-long episode has been written smartly to include new-age sensitivities and lifestyle changes. It also has references to some interesting facts, like tweeting about emergency situations and “samosa wale Guruji”.

We just can’t wait for the next episode.
