Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah completed a glorious 16 years in July and is still running successfully. Undoubtedly, the show is the most iconic Indian sitcom in history, but it’s also true that the quality of the content isn’t up to the mark. Several years back, the show used to deliver some memorable and genuinely hilarious episodes, but in the last few years, the content has been nowhere near the old episodes. And this complaint was once addressed by none other than Dilip Joshi.
TMKOC started on July 28, 2008, and since then, it has given us countless memories and funny moments. Even several characters have become iconic over the years. However, with the team of writers and directors getting changed and so many years passing by, it’s obvious that the quality won’t be the same. The show has already gone beyond 4000 episodes, so it’s natural that creating genuinely hilarious situations isn’t that easy.
Talking about the same, Dilip Joshi once got candid during a podcast with Sorabh Pant. Addressing the degrading quality of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, he said, “Jab aap quantity dekhte hai, toh kahin na kahin quality suffer hoti hi hai. Pehle weekly hum karte the aur writers ke paas bohot time hota tha. Chaar episode likhe, doosre chaar episode agle mahine shoot karna hai (When you focus on quantity, the quality does suffer somewhere. Initially, it was a weekly show, and the writers had a lot of time. With four episodes being shot per month, they had a gap of a month to write the next four episodes).”
