The first two episodes of the series Pukam Pukai and Vish Amrit, revolve around the middle child of the Gupta household, Harshu (played by Vishesh Bansal) and his comical narrative of the disgruntled teenager who deals with problems in a middle-class household with some help from his precocious yet insightful friend Shanky (played by Prasad Reddy).Yeh Meri Family Season 1 Download.Khanna’s writing captures the milieu of the ’90s perfectly throughout the episodes. The dialogues are funny yet pithy, leaving audiences reeling with a strong sense of déjà vu.

A distraught Harshu complains that his summer holidays are going to be drab and boring, all thanks to Dabbu’s upcoming exams and the unwillingness of his parents to do anything ‘fun’ as a result. Shanky imparts his patent sage-like wisdom to his friend – “Arre summer koi season nahi hota, who ek festival hota hai. Garmi is the father of all festivals. Muh se dhua nikalne ke ilaava tu kya nahi kar sakta summers mein.” These words have its magic on Harshu and he promptly narrates a heartwarming saga of ‘summer rituals’ to the audience by breaking the fourth wall.Yeh Meri Family Season 1 Download.
Khanna’s poignant writing bring in strong references which no ’90s child can miss out on. “Purna shringaar aur tullu pump se snaan ke baad, cooler devata ki sthapna hoti hai,” says Harshu, about the Gupta family’s tradition of installing a cooler to beat the heat. “Phir teen mahine tak bhakt inke prashaad ke liye jholi phelaaye khade rehte hai.”
The endearing monologue goes on to describe every other family’s joint custom of tucking into delicious mangoes, sitting together in their drawing rooms. Langra, Chaunsa, Hapus, Dasehri – all varieties are slurped with happy, messy hands and most importantly, as Harshu adds, “saari jaile khaali hoti hai,” referring to all schools being closed at least for a month for summer holidays.
