Silent comedies are back on SAB TV

Silent comedies are back with a bang! India’s leading family entertainment comedy channel launches the second season of not one but two silent comedy shows that will have its audience dumbfounded, literally. The Chaplinesque style is known for its silent comic brilliance and once again, bringing the same vividness of humour in India on the small screen will be shows like Gutur Gu Season 2 and Chintu Ban gaya Gentleman.

SAB TV, staying faithful to its penchant for rib-tickling shows, has introduced the nation to the concept of silent comedy on television with the first season of the same shows. It is now that SAB TV launches the 2nd season of the two shows on popular demand as they were extremely admired by the audiences. The two shows are similar in approach as they both explore the genre of silent comedy but very different in concept and story line.

While Gutur Gu Season 2 continues to have Bhavna Balsavar in one of the pivotal roles, the story revolves around her family and their antics. Other leading protagonists include stalwarts in acting and comedy like Jay dutt Vyas, K.K Goswami,  Bhairavi Raichura and Anita Hasnandani.

Anita Hasnandani, who plays an off-beat bahu in the show Gutur Gu, says, “It’s challenging to convey a story through the medium of silent comedy and I truly believe the cast has done a brilliant job. The concept of Gutur Gu Season 2 remains the same as its previous season but we have tweaked storyline  to add a refreshing new zing to the show. My character is of the girl who is married to Rahul. She has her own peculiarities that are what make her really unique.”

Chintu Ban gaya Gentleman on the other hand goes international and is all about Chintu, the lead protagonist, travelling to various countries from Switzerland, Italy,Singapre and win the hearts of the people he encounters with his innocent charm! Chintu’s story is a simple one  with a pure heart and an undying love for Pinky, the most beautiful girl in the village. The show journeys on with the two characters on their escapades to stunning lands abroad as they leave the villiage life behind and set out to explore the globe. Anjum Tadvi and Ashwini Kirnar will be seen goofing up while trying to adjust to the lifestyles of the new countries they visit each time. A spectacular silent comedy that reveals the innocent, unintentional comic personality of Chintu and his lady love. All this is done without uttering a single word. Such exceptional cast coming together for these two shows promises to have every house exploding with mirth, evening after evening!

Anooj Kapoor, EVP and Business Head, SAB TV said, “This is the 2nd season of Gutur Gu and Chintu Bang aya Gentleman. Gutur Gu season 1 was listed in the Limca Book of records for being world’s longest running silent comedy. SAB was the first and only channel to successfully produce silent comedies in India. These shows, made like others on SAB, will attract family audience while offering, once again , a unique  and clutter breaking product experience.”

A lot of confusion and comedy is conveyed with complete clarity in absolute silence through these exceptional SAB TV concepts. The Chaplinesque style of treatment of the shows will get the audiences to love the characters and yet witness a genre that’s not so common on television. Get ready for these refreshingly unique shows that aim straight at your funny bone. Join the Gutur Gu family and our innocent Chintu in their eccentric interactions with the world around and amongst themselves, on SAB TV, starting 15th Dec  Chintu Ban Gaya Gentleman at 8pm and Gutur Gu Season 2 at 8:30 p.m.
