They want it so bad, Dinar is even willing to be robbed by any "Christine". The three friends have been wanting to do the "Goa Trip" which that movie made famous. So when the same team (under TVF) brings us Shantit Kranti (Shanti=peace, and Kranti = revolution) on SonyLIV, it’s worth the subscription (mine lapsed after the brilliant Prateek Gandhi show Scam 1992).
Not that the ‘mother who understands no boundaries’ won’t translate, but some meme-worthy jokes are instant hits: when that BhaDiPa ‘Mum’ - an avid watcher of TV - begins to take down razais from the attic, and her grown-up kids ask her why she wants to do that in the middle of Pune summer, she answers in all seriousness: Winter Is Coming.) (Plus, their ‘Mother’ series is so funny, you wish the jokes could be translated to other languages. They started out with on the couch interviews with celebs (a little like Between Two Ferns) and moved on to live shows. The BhaDiPa (Bharatiya Digital Party a Marathi YouTube channel that makes comedy and music content) have taken Marathi comedy out of the comedy sketch shows on TV (where the judges are louder than the jokes), and offered really fresh content on YouTube.
That’s what friends do, right? It made me want to tell everyone at home to take a dekko, because such fun is tough to come by. The first two episodes of the six-part show are a breeze to watch, and you really connect on some level with the repartee and the insults they dish out to one another. Of course the film Dil Chahta Hai has been their companion for life, with each one wanting to be Aamir Khan. The chemistry between the three childhood friends - Shreyas (nicknamed ‘Shreya’, played by Abhay Mahajan), Prasanna (or ‘Pashya’ played by Lalit Prabhakar) and Dinar (or ‘Chips’ played by Alok Rajwade) - is really wonderful. Watching a Marathi show where suddenly one guy says, ‘Are you living in Wakanda, kya?’ is enough to make you stop and check out the writers of this funny show that is Dil Chahta Hai set in Lonavala. Review | 'Shantit Kranti' is a fun homage to 'Dil Chahta Hai' - in Marathi
