No wonder why the show is a great source of entertainment. It is something which the whole family can enjoy together. It started, when all of us were tired of saas-bahu drama. And this is what we had been waiting for so long especially when Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and Khichdi ended their dream run and nothing was there to take their place.
12 years ago, we were introduced to a small society called Gokuldham Society in the bylanes of Powder Gali, Goregaon East. The residents of Gokuldham came on our TV screens at 8: 30 pm and made it a promise to make us laugh and forget all our worries.
12 years later, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has become the longest-running situational comedy series in India and is still going stronger than ever. The slapstick humor, amazing punchlines, crazy situational comic sketches, classic introduction of funny characters, keeping it simple, evolving with time, and Dilip Joshi’s outstanding portrayal as Jethalal Champaklal Gada makes this show one of the most popular shows in today’s time.
One of the unique points of the show has been its simplicity. While, today, us being in the modern era of television, TMKOC has managed to keep the simplicity of the characters and the show altogether, and that has made the show funnier.
Not trying to be fancy with comedy, the show’s simple treatment of humor has been pivotal in its success. Also, the entire cast is now extremely popular and are household names.
