Sweet n sour
One had hoped for more of this spontaneity to creep into the new Kadvi, Khatti, Meethi (the sequel to Tu Tu Main Main) on Star One. True, the leads have their timing just right and look like they never stopped playing the roles of canny mother-in-law and cannier daughter-in-law. The stories unfortunately will continue to revolve around domestic mishaps and ownership over the grandson/son/husband and one wonders whether this track will be as successful as it was in the late 1990s.

The new bahu of the household will have a hard time matching the effortless
histrionics of Reema and Supriya, but to her credit, she's a good choice. The only weak link in this show is Ali Asgar, who plays the hapless grandson/son/husband, who's completely lost in the flow of events. Perhaps it's not his mistake, he has to contend with some pretty strong female protagonists!
