FAMILY KARMA: INDIAN AMERICAN REALITY HITS HIGH

Family Karma chronicles the lives of a group of first-gen Indian-American kids—and, to a lesser degree, their parents—living in Miami. These young adults are all part of the same community of Indian immigrants; many of them have known each other for most of their lives.

At the outset of the pilot, we have a key group of main characters to follow: Vishal is a self-admitted “man-child” engaged to Richa, a career woman (they’ve been engaged for over two years without any movement on the wedding). Brian and Monica are best friends who act like a couple without any physical intimacy or a title. Anisha is a fashion entrepreneur who recently moved home after living in NYC for 10 years. Amrit is a successful lawyer who recently came out to his parents.

Though they have less screen time, their parents are crucial characters within the story as well. Most of the parents had arranged marriages and created the close-knit community in Miami. When there’s drama, it often seems to stem from the gossip mill, aka the aunties. One of the main tensions in the first episode can be attributed to Vishal and Richa’s moms who openly despise each other, despite being on the verge of becoming family.

Handsome 60’s avatar of Karan Kundra is a golden hearted, lochinvar of sorts named Ronobir Chatterjee who flirts with women of all genera, abhors commitment and apparently doesn’t do things he commits to.

Kusum Ganguly, on the other hand, deftly played by Naghma Rizwan, plays the nerdy,ambitious, bold yet pristine character of Kusum Ganguly, who despite her bold foot forward, is a novice that things not experienced.

FOUR MORE SHOTS, PLEASE IS THE SEX AND THE CITY OF INDIA

If there was an Indian version of “Sex and the City”, this could be the closest adaptation. We watched both seasons. The first season is a series of women with men issues, drinking shots at a bar and having a lot of sex, while wearing couture.

The second season, starts with a recap of the first season, so you really do not have to watch the first season to get a sense of the story thus far. The second season is definitely a much more meatier story, with more alcohol, Milind Soman (who still looks to die for in his salt and pepper), an aged Lisa Ray, a wall paper for Prateik Babbar, people having more sex than in Season 1 but in a much more glossier manner.
