The comedy show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has recently faced considerable criticism. Many viewers believe that because certain old cast members have departed the show, the stories and humour are less impactful than in previous episodes. The latest subplot, involving the separation of Tapu (Nitish Bhaluni) and Sonu (Khushi Mali), has left netizens extremely sad. They have been criticising the creators for purportedly compromising the core of the show with the current storyline.
Speaking of this, the current storyline on Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah depicts Sonu becoming engaged to someone else. Tapu becomes distressed after hearing this. He then follows her as she exits in a car with her fiance. However, commenters are unimpressed with the overblown plotline and acting. One of the netizens commented, "Biggest Downfall Ever." A user commented, "Kabadda Kar Diya Show Ka."
A netizen made fun of the present scenario by writing, "Popatlal Ki Shaadi Toh Karwa Nahi Paye, Yeh Bacho Ki Shaadi Karwa Rahe Hai." A member posted, "Yeh Serial Bana Tha Saas Bahu Ki Toxicity Se Bachne Ke Liye Lekin Yeh Ussi Ore Chal Padha Hai."
A netizen went on to state, "Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah Toh Kabka Khatam Ho Chuka Hai, Ab Yeh Log Paisa Bana Rahe Hain." A user requested that users watch Anupamaa instead of the comedy show. The response went something like this: "Isse Acha Anupamaa Dekhlo, Ab Kuch Nahi Raha Iss Show Mein Dekhne Jaisa."
Another netizen commented that Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah no longer feels like a comedy show. The comment stated, "Lagta Hi Nahi Yeh Comedy Show Hua Karta Tha." Pehle Jaisa Maza Nahi Rahi Ab. "Pehle Jaisa Ban Nahi Payega." The program has also been hampered by scandals, with former cast members accusing producer Asit Modi of a terrible work atmosphere and nonpayment of dues. Taarak Mehta Ka OOltah Chashmah is one of the longest running shows.
In the recent podcast, Mandar mentioned, 'Bhide is a very principled guy, he knows that Jethalal is beshisht, he doesn't want a son-in-law like him. Though Jethalal is a nice man, but for Bhide, Tapu's impression is that he doesn't follow rules, he is extremely mischievous, so for Sonu, he wouldn't want someone like Tapu. He wasn't the best for Sonu.'
