The Marathi serial with above name is one of my most favorite TV serials. It showed the life of typical Marathi middle class family. I could see every character in the serial in the people around me. Aaba, Shekhar, Shyamala, Shrilesh aka Shirya and Shalaka were five main characters of the series. There was not a single episode which I could not relate to my own life. Friday night 9.30 slot was reserved for only one thing – “श्रीयुत गंगाधर टिपरे”. Apart from “405 आनंदवन” not many Marathi comedy serials came close Tipre. Some of the typical lines of the characters were -
श्यामला – “अग बाई!"
आबा – “अरे कर्मा”
शेखर – (मोठ्याने) “काय??”
श्रीलेश/शलाका – “आई झोपू दे ना"
I remember the last episode of "Tipre” where Kedar Shinde (Director) explained why he wanted to end the serial. He did not want people to come to him and tell him, “कधी थांबणार?”, instead he wanted people to ask him, “का थांबलात?”.
Recently, I got a link of online episodes of Tipre from my friend Laxmikant, but there are very few episodes and most are in divided in 3 parts. It would be great if Zee Marathi releases a DVD of the episodes of the serial.
