Even the sweet and sour relation between the in-laws and other relations generate some troubles. And how the trouble is created and how they solve them is what produces comedy and you find yourself in a laughter ride.
Although it was a regular airing show, it’s every episode had a new story and new twists. Comedy in the show was never forced or overly imposed on the audience.
Dekh Bhai Dekh was way ahead of its time. Although the plot involved a typical Indian joint family but the characters were mature and without conservativeness. The Diwan’s family open heatedly accepts their children have girlfriends. Even the women’s character was strong and self-reliant. No one had issues in women working for self. Every kid maybe a boy or girl, was given equal importance.
These factors make the show relevant to even this era. And you won’t feel the show to be something beyond your imagination. The characters were so real that everyone connected with them instantly. Mine favorite was that of Shekhar Suman and Farida Jalal.
The show had a proper flow in each episode and they even taught some life lessons. But it was never preachy or philosophical.
