Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah

Dr. Hansraj Baldevraj Hathi (2008-2009; 2018-present)

Inspired by the famous Gujarati column Duniya Ne Undha Chasma by Taarak Mehta, this show captures the everyday life in Gokuldham Co-operative Society, addressing socially relevant issues with humor. At its heart is Jethalal, an uneducated Gujarati businessman, who often seeks guidance from his wise neighbor and friend, Taarak Mehta. Jethalal lives with his naive yet lovable wife Daya Ben and their mischievous son Tapu, whose antics frequently disrupt the peace of the society. The members often warn Jethalal to control Tapu or face eviction. In desperation, he calls his father, Champaklal, from the village, hoping he’ll instill discipline in Tapu. Instead, the grandfather-grandson duo teams up, creating even more chaos and turning Jethalal’s life into a comedic roller coaster. The show blends family dynamics, friendship, and neighborhood bonds with a dose of satire and laughter.

Dil Bechara Pyaar Ka Maara

Loosely based on the 1957 classic "Dekh Kabira Roya", this is a story of three male friends, Deepak, Vinod and Sanjay. While Sanjay runs a business; Vinod is an ardent cricket fan and player; and Deepak a singer. The three pals meet three young ladies named Neela, Shree, and Sherry, who would like to marry a businessman, a cricketer, and a singer. The dreams of these ladies do come true, and they wind up on a marriage pandal with the love of their lives. But wait, Neela who wanted to marry a cricket player is about to tie the knot with businessman Sanjay; Shree wanted to marry a businessman but ends up with Deepak the singer; and Sherry who wanted to marry a singer ends up with cricketer Vinod. To add to the confusion are gangster Tundabhai, and a Pakistan-based terrorist, Chaman Chindi, who are out to kill Sanjay, Deepak and Vinod, so that Tundabhai can add Neela, Shree and Sherry to his harem - & the result is utter and hilarious chaos.
