Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is a show that has been ruling the hearts of viewers for years, but the changes happening now are nothing short of a shock for old fans.
Entertainment: India's longest-running comedy show, 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah', is once again in the headlines. The show has achieved tremendous TRP even without its main characters - Jethalal (Dilip Joshi), Babita Ji (Munmun Dutta), and Dayaben (Disha Vakani).
Why is the show a hit even without Dayaben, Jethalal, and Babita Ji?
Viewers once felt that the show wouldn't be able to run without Dayaben. Disha Vakani has not been seen in the show since 2017 when she took maternity leave. Even after that, the show maintained its grip, and now the story has become so b that fans are not even feeling their absence.
Jethalal and Babita Ji are currently on a break from the show. But despite this, the makers have captivated the audience by bringing in the ghost plot, so much so that the show has surpassed even high-rating shows like Anupama.
Sensational comeback in TRP
According to BARC's 26th-week TRP report, 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' has received a rating of 2.5, making it India's number one show. Earlier, in the 25th week, this show was also at the top with a rating of 2.3. The biggest reason behind this b comeback is the ghost track, which gave the audience a double dose of laughter and fear.
What is the ghost track?
The show depicts the people of Gokuldham Society going to an old bungalow for a picnic. During this time, Jethalal, Babita Ji, Iyer, and the Haathi family are not with them. The atmosphere of a scary shadow of a ghost is created in that bungalow. First, Atmaram Bhide sees the ghost, and gradually other members of the society also fall prey to the fear.
However, Popatlal, with his journalist's mind, reveals that this ghost is actually a girl named Chakori, who was doing all this at someone's behest. Now the audience is eagerly waiting to see who is the real mastermind behind this plot.
Smart writing by the makers has become the key to success
For some time now, there was displeasure among the fans regarding the writing of the show. But now, the content reminiscent of the old days has returned. Fans are asking if the makers have called back the old writers? Making the story so interesting even without popular characters like Jethalal and Babita is truly a victory for the makers and writers.
Speculations about Dayaben (Disha Vakani) not returning to the show are still ongoing. She is away from acting due to the care of her two children. But now it seems that the emotional dependency of the show on Dayaben has been removed. The show is proving to be b and entertaining on its own.
