Nasty Battles #12 - 'Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai' Vs 'Comedy Nights with Kapil'

India’s tryst with comedy: Comedy on the Indian television has not been a favourite of the viewers. But two shows, maybe for different reasons, have risen to the top in this genre, The high society  Sarabhai ’s & a comedic rage now, Comedy nights with Kapil. Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai : A crisp, sophisticated comedy, with intricate writing, a sitcom still watched my many on YouTube. A comedy for the masses and the classes, it still has a soft corner in everyone’s heart. But, sometimes, the cause behind the troubles in each episode was very similar...almost repeated. Also, there was an over exaggeration at times of the comedic traits associated with each character. Also, the cameos done by the producer himself, were too short as his character, dushyant was adored! The saas-bahu conflicts were very well written.

The Scenario - Teenage girls really have been sick since the past few years, because according to them, there is NO ointment for ONE DIRECTION INFECTION and BIEBER FEVER ! The Directioners and Bielebers have been fighting since the double-digit years of the 21 st century! They both consider themselves to be on the winning side, while girls like me have our hearts cut into two equal parts! One Direction Infection -  Now a lot of people say that 1D is famous only for their good looks, just to clarify WE DON’T BUY THEIR ALBUM TO SEE THEIR FACE!!!   They are those heroes who carry microphones and not wear capes, but still charge $13,000 in Australia for a meet and greet. (FYI when girls say they are saving money, its for a one direction concert, not for a car or tuition fees as its cheaper) You see, One Direction is supposed to be the richest boy band in the history, well after earning almost a shed load from the concert tickets, 4 albums (that debut at number 1), 3-4 p
