Yeh Chanda Kanoon Hai
Wednesday 10 pm, SAB TV
Yeh Chanda Kanoon Hai, the comic show on SAB TV, is a light-hearted effort to highlight court-room humour. Alas, the outcome is akin to a flat soda. A bubbly humour could’ve been conceputalised provided the punch-lines were smarter. But what one comes across are characters that have been reduced to mere caricatures. Whether it’s a police official or a judge, all end up as buffoons.

Actor Tiku Talsania raves and rants for the umpteenth time in this comedy caper. He at times goes overboard in his act of a judge in Yeh Chanda.... A divorcee Chanda Rani (Juhi Parmar) often faces her lawyer husband Vibhuti Narayan (Aasif Shaikh) as the opposition council in court. Both try every trick in ‘law-book’ to win their cases. Also, the judge is hopelessly obsessed with Chanda and tries to find opportunities to meet her alone. Ultimately, it’s Chanda who succeeds in legal battle—hence the title! The show tries to spoof on various incidents that have been in the news.

Aasif Shaikh has acted in many comedy series earlier and is an old hand. In this show, too, he tries to bring out humour through his acts as the ‘scheming’ lawyer. Juhi Parmar tries her hand at comedy and seems to have flair. Actor Raja Chaudhary is desperately trying to mend his ways in real life and is set to appear in one of the episodes of Yeh Chanda....
What one really misses are some smart one-liners that would’ve ratcheted up the comedy level. Yeh Chanda…turns out to be another run-of-the-mill comedy caper.
Verdict:
What could’ve been a humourous court-room comedy, turns out to be a soggy fare.
