Let's talk about Bhide internet scam arc
Let's talk about the Bhide cyber scam arc.
Even though there are others arcs funnier than this, this is my favourite one because I feel like this was the most important arc in TMKOC history.
When this arc aired, TMKOC was almost at its peak. Our father/mother/uncle/aunt, almost everyone were enjoying the episodes and used to watch it on TV on schedule. This was also the time when social media, especially Facebook was getting popular and our parents were having fun using it. They were the most gullible users as the idea of internet scam wasn't talked about so much, but the scammers were slowly creeping in and sending scam emails and messages. I still remember my mother's excitement once when she got an SMS saying she won a computer in a lottery and to call a number to claim it.
This Bhide cyber scam arc televised in such crucial time, giving us some absolutely funny episodes, but also a strong message blanketed in it. I'm sure this arc actually helped millions of people realize not to trust email and internet promises, and I'm sure the TMKOC team helped save thousands and thousands people who would otherwise have been genuinely scammed.
These were the episodes where we realized how great the actors Mandar Chandwadkar (Aatmaram) and Sonalika Joshi (Madhvi) are. Their characters' deepest insecurities was exposed in this arc, carried out by their brilliant acting. Plus, we got to see the legend, the man himself, Mr. Gafur Ghisela in connection to this arc. And never forget that Bhide visited the Arctic circle as well due to the aftermath.
I admit that this arc, while extremely funny, is still not the funniest among others, it's still my favourite for this reason. Back then when makers actually gave a monkey about what they were producing.
