Nadaniyaan – A bitter sweet sitcom!

Nadaniyaan- Teen Nadaano Ki Kahaniyaanis a remake of an old Pakistani sitcom with a little Indian tadka. Revolving around the lives of a self-proclaimed writer, a push-over wife and a clumsy younger brother; this show has its moments and certainly keeps one engaged. 

The story is based on a Verma family based in Delhi – a family of three featuring NamanVerma aka Nandu, his wife Chandini and his brother PushkarVerma aka Pappu. Each with their own unique perspective in life, they constantly land each other in reckless situations with plenty of misunderstandings, crazy pranks and comic characters.

 

As a fan of popular Indian comedies like Taarak Mehta and F.I.R, my expectations were high before watching Nadaniyaan. However, this new show on the block doesn’t disappoint me one bit. With traditional gimmicks, witty one-liners and a good sense of comic timing, Nadaniyaan is a visual treat for the viewers. The characters have great chemistry and it comes across on-screen as well.

Nadaniyaan focuses on highlighting the humor in average, every day situations that anyone can connect with and laugh over.  The appeal of the show lies in its simplicity. The writers have done a good job of showing how misunderstandings can escalate from the smallest of things. I think most of you will identify with these characters and the situations they land in. While some of the jokes could have been more creative and better delivered, I think all in all, Nadaniyaan, the latest show on the Indian comedy scene is one to watch.

Suitably aired at 10pm, Nadaniyaanhelps one unwind after a long day.
