Remember the nokh jhoks and eternal squabbles of Keku, Koki, Dil and Prema? Yes, we are talking about the madcaps of the 90s superhit TV show Shrimaan Shrimati. Revolving around two couples who are neighbours, the immensely successful show starred big ticket names like Jatin Kanakia, Rakesh Bedi, Reema Lagoo and Archana Puran Singh in the lead roles.
Now a second edition of the show is back on Sab TV. Shrimaan Shrimati Phir Se will premiere tonight starring Barkha Bisht as Prema Shalini a.k.a Doll, Suresh Menon as Dilruba Jarnail Singh Khurana a.k.a Dil, Samir Shah as Keshav Kularni a.k.a Keku and Sucheta Khanna as Kokila a.k.a Koki.
Check out the trailer here:
The basic plot - that of the two husbands having a soft corner for the neighbour’s wife and trying to impress them - remains the same.
While sequels mostly seem to lack their original magic, can Shrimaan Shrimati Phir Se find a resonance with today’s audience? Watch and find out!
