''Mrs. Tendulkar'' is an Indian comedy series which aired on
SAB TV
Sony SAB (formerly SAB TV) is an Indian pay television channel owned by Culver Max Entertainment.
History
Sony SAB was launched as SAB TV by Gautam Adhikari and Markand Adhikari under their company Sri Adhikari Brothers (thus the acronym) on ...
. The show follows the daily lives of Suhaas and Vibhavari Tendulkar, set in the Gangaram Godbole Sahkari Bank colony. Suhaas stays at home while Vibhavari is the manager of the Gangaram Godbole Sahkari Bank. Because he does all the chores in the house (traditionally done exclusively by women), the housewives of the colony call Suhaas Mrs. Tendulkar.
Concept
The show is based on the colony's culture and focuses on the Tendulkars' assimilation into it. It is set in a Maharashtrian backdrop, but Gujarati culture is also highlighted. It portrays and at times makes fun of gender roles in Indian culture. The Tendulkars' gender role reversals are the subject of derision in the colony; since the colony members resist change in their comfortable lives, the arrival of the Tendulkar family upsets them as many of their set notions are challenged.
In this way, the show implicitly embeds social commentary in its humour.
