It is difficult to watch a single episode of Permanent roommates without bursting into splits of laughter There are 5 episodes in all - each progressively longer than the previous - and each is a gem.The series traces the story of a boy and girl in a long distance relationship - after the long distance stage and when they meet and think of renting an apartment.Anyone who is looked for a flat to rent in any town / city in India will spot instant similarities to real life experiences - which would have been hilarious if they were not 100% true. Somehow watching it here makes them funny. Like the lost housing agent (aren't most of them?), the kind of houses shown, the issues one faces daily as an Indian youngster and a couple (and a father, and a government officer, and a...) The series is mostly in Hindi (a bit of English), but has English subtitles on you tube.Don't miss it. I watched a few episodes more than once :)
... View MoreDefying rules, norms, upheld values, TVF is running away with its glory. Soaring high into the free air, liberating from the worldly bounds and transcending precepts. Who says that the Indian audience is not ready, whether we are ready or not, I would like to believe that the decision should be left to us. I wish every Indian channel telecasted shows like Permanent Roommates, but if not all, someone can and someone should. A very well written, directed and executed show depicting the fears, anxieties, tenacious practices and fallible desire of reciprocity, everything that couples go through, presented in a manner that anyone can enjoy. This show is just the beginning of the revolution that blemish the set methods and establish an environment that provides subsistence to whimsical, organized and intelligent television.

... View MoreA wonderfully written, directed and acted romantic comedy that is truly unique and pleases immensely on many fronts and with many layers. It excellently blends emotion and humor to give an intriguing and fun insight into today's modern relationships. It definitely transcends the current Indian cinematic blunders in this genre. I look forward to their upcoming productions and I am confident the Team will grow from strength to strength in times to come. They deserve financial and distribution support to enter the big screen or perhaps even next-gen television. The world needs more visionaries like these. I am proud to see that Indian youth creators are taking the path less traveled and are venturing into exciting territory. Truly, content is king!
