"Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah" is unfunny, tone-deaf, regressive yet wildly popular!

Just checked that the show has over 3,300 episodes currently; and there seems to be no signs of slowing down.

The plots are beyond wafer-thin; the same scene is shown at least twice (once before the ad break & then right after) in the name of "continuity" - which means that the actual content has a LOT of fillers.

The sound effects are shoved in 18 to the Dozen because what is nuance anyway? How else will be understand the SUBTLE jokes and know our cue to laugh...

Not to mention, jokes about weight; appearances, finances, all sorts of low hanging community jokes.

Dr. Hathi gets some of the worst material directed at him; so does his son; Sodhi is the punchline for most typical Sardar jokes; Iyer gets the dark skinned / unattractive person taunts; and also the idli dosa / South Indian fare of jokes.

earlier there were some random episodes where the underlying theme was at least noble - raising awareness against online scams was a good one i know of - but the approach to everything is ridiculously binary; and in most cases - one-dimensional.

all scenarios are too utopian & rather elegantly ideal; there's almost no consequences; and the lack of diversity is worse than in the saccharine drenched Barjatiya movies.

Prayer helps solve problems - but not actual planning or strategy.

There are so many problematic "jokes" in every scene of every episode; not to mention the incredibly dumbed down & patronizing manner of handling every self generated problem that the characters face.

And the episodes with any famous person are just so bare; with cringe inducing celebrity worship.

Wonder when the makers will try to step up from their regressive, juvenile plots & scripts.

Edit: If i had a 100 Rs. for every time someone says "If you don't like, don't watch na...."

Arnav Mehta Deserves Better

Hey everyone, this is going to be a follow up post on my first post to this subreddit. A few people had questions on what I was talking about at the end so I'll clear things up. I admit, I was in an emotional state at the time and what I type was not as clear as I thought it would be.

So what's the issue?

To cut to the chase, Arnav has been wronged. In many ways. Even in this subreddit, his name has been pushed around like a joke. It is clear to see that people don't give Arnav the respect he deserves. I mean, he just found himself a gold TOC bid! I can easily see Arnav become one of the top if not the top debater in the nation once I graduate. But at the moment, its simply not fair the way we treat him and his name.

To put salt on the wound, A and M consolidated has stolen Arnav's long time crush. Ever since Arnav was just a wee boy, he's always dreamed of being with this person. But now, its simply not the case. Perhaps in rage, fear, or desperation, he has looked towards other ways to find some light in his situation.

But Arnav Mehta perseveres, he pushes through, and he keeps moving forward. Unlike me, Arnav does not like this minor setback weigh him down in life. Arnav as been hitting the gym, he's been dating 5 girls at once (photo evidence), taking bids like the grow from trees, making a name for himself. All I can say is Arnav has clearly surpassed all expectations. From heartbreak, Arnav has used his dark energies to find something newer and better for himself in life.

Arnav is my role model. I wish to become Arnav. If there is anything I'd do for Arnav, I'd do it. And this is why Arnav deserves so much more than just meme reddit posts or funny picture edits. Arnav deserves so much more. I just wish Arnie-chan would notice me.

Was Harshad Mehta a genius

Hey guys I'm new to the stock markets and trading, my friend recommended me to watch Scam 1992... Post completion of the series I have a basic idea of what he did but I don't have enough knowledge about the market to gauge what he did was something extraordinary or not... So just wanted your opinion on this guys .. some of my friends who have been into trading for the past few years treat him like a god, some call him scamster
