Released in 2004, JD Majethia바카라™s 바카라˜Sarabhai vs Sarabhai바카라™ has grown to become one of the most loved sitcoms on Indian television.

Mediocre as in, main bura nahi bol raha hoon, I mean that they don바카라™t expect some super intelligent cinema in life, they just want some light-hearted stuff, the middle-class mentality of, 바카라˜I have come back home after a long day, just give me something feel good to watch or drama for women.바카라™ They don바카라™t want to use their brains a lot.바카라
The producer continued, 바카라œNow, in this scenario, comes this comedy which has an excellent writing by Aatish Kapadia. It was important to have the knowledge of vocabulary (to enjoy it). Also, it would air every Monday, so the habit couldn바카라™t get established. Those who would watch the show would love it. There was not much scope repeat viewing in those days, so they바카라™d have to wait for the next Monday to watch the new episode.바카라
