![]() ![]() How about throwing a boy in his path that he is forced to adopt? Give that useless character – Kitty – a romance on the side with one of Karamchand’s clients. And for us to be able to connect with the detective, we’ll need a bit more of a back story. Second, Karamchand’s ticks just aren’t endearing anymore. But the stuff he “uncovers†is either simplistic or so plucked from thin air that it either underwhelms you or defies logic. But really? All the time? The stories revolve around how brilliant the detective is. Ok, perhaps his idiosyncratic way of thinking allows him to see things other don’t. So how bad is it?įirst, it always confounds me why Karamchand is constantly surrounded by idiots. Which is why reincarnating Karamchand without a major reworking is such a bad idea. ![]() It was also India’s first indigenous crime drama.įast forward several years later and none of these trappings are compelling enough to watch. The stilted camera angles, the extended shots, the informal dialogs and of course, the idiosyncratic title character himself. Karamchand got most of its cachet from the fact that it was a stylistic series. I’m not sure if Desi Dabba readers feel the same way I do, but the revival of the iconic TV series Karamchand has left me rather cold.
