Yes...when I first came to know that Mandar Devasthali is the Director of KTLK

(that was in Dec.2011) ,I immediately remembered that I had watched his Marathi serial

"Vaadalvaat" and I had liked it..His direction was superb.. That serial also had a lovely title song..

I know ,SP,HM,BC are incomparable...

MD has a long way to go,but I think he is following the footsteps of these legends..

Neelima, in comparing Mandar to Basu Chatterjee or Hrishikesh Mukherjee, I presume you are referring to the sublte humour and slice of life narrative of the show...if you ask me, that comes from the script. Of course, HK and BC specialised in that genre of cinema. However, not having seen any other of MD's works, I am unable to figure out if that is indeed his specialty,

However, in my view, the Dr Dubey track and the overall subtle humour is possibly in the genre of HK's or BC's cinema, During the Mallika track, I really thought the script was going the Basu Bhattacharya way. He was a wonderful filmmaker who has always delved into the complexities of human relationships.

Mithalee, I am not comparing MD with the Legends...They are incomparable..

I found similarities in their style.. The charm, decency, subtlety were the essence of

the legendary directors' style, and I think MD is following their footsteps..

Sai Paranjpye's movie-Chashme Badoor & Sparsh I have seen...read about her serial-Ados Pados on Doordarshan.Subtlety & realism were the strong points in them too...Ktlk showed hints of these qualities too..But many things went awry.Hope season-2 comes with MD only but with a better script.

Thank you Sujatha,for your valuable comments..

I am glad ,more and more people are participating in this debate..

Hrishikesh Mukherji,Basu Chatterji,Basu Bhattacharya are my favourite directors..

Many people don't seem to know Sai Paranjpye's work (Chashme Baddoor, Katha,Sparsh,Saaz),

She is in the same league..

The charm, decency,subtelty,simplicity were the essence of these legendary directors' style..

Their films were delightful..they brought smiles on our faces, they touched our hearts..

To watch their films was an enriching experience..

I have this feeling that I experienced all these emotions while watching KTLK.. and thought

that we should remember the Director of the show...
