Real and entertaining

Kudos to Asit Kumarr Modi for producing an excellent family-entertainer in the form of Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chasmah Having the last laugh,Screen,March 11-17,2011.

Actor Dilip Joshi,essaying the role of Jethalal Gada in Tarak,with his flawless comical escapades is especially worth a watch. Though Joshi has worked in films and serials before this popular telly-drama on SAB TV,the show has earned him a household name and the serial became a runaway success.

Jethalal is a typical Gujarati baniya who believes that humans are born only to mint money. Jethalals interactions with the smart and pretty Babitaji,his next wing neighbour for whom he possess a soft corner in his heart,are quite enjoyable. The USP of the serial is that each and every character is very realistic and everybody can relate to it.
