The best thing about the Permanent Roommates saga has been its relatable characters. The series, whose previous two seasons were critically acclaimed, is now back with a third season. The first season had been released at a time when the web-series format was relatively new and The Viral Fever, aka Tvf, had cashed in on the vacant space on YouTube. At the time, the characters of Mikesh, aka Mikki, and Tanya, aka Tanu, had captured the zeitgeist of urban India in a very endearing way. Season 2 was not that well received, but the makers have now decided to add to the story by bringing in the third season.
It’s hard to see the series with a fresh lens. The characters evoke a strange sense of nostalgia. Mikesh and Tanya had become the quintessential live-in couple. There have been other shows as well that have tried to recreate the dramedy...

Mumbai, March 10: Actor Sumeet Vyas was one of earliest to hop onboard the digital medium, with the 2014 show Permanent Roommates. He says he didn't have any idea back then on how it would affect his future but, in retrospect, it seems like the best decision he took.
"Taking up the web back then was one of the best decisions of my life. Even then, when I had taken up the show, I didn't know how it's going to shape up or how people would react to it, or if it's going to make me famous. The idea was to work on something new and to work with new people. Tvf was making interesting short videos and I just wanted to collaborate with newer people and it worked in my favour. I am doing that even today. The whole idea behind doing any show is to find newer things to do as an actor,...

OTTWhen he finds no other jobs, Abhishek takes up a government job as the secretary of a village panchayat in Uttar Pradesh.Saraswati DatarPanchayat’s one-line premise; a lone urban man in an unfamiliar rural surrounding is pretty much the gist of English August by Upamanyu Chatterjee that had its uninterested public servant Agastya Sen struggle in his post as a civil servant in rural India. But perhaps since Panchayat, now streaming on Amazon Prime, is created by The Viral Fever (Tvf), it tells a similar story, but replaces substance abuse and masturbation with humour and pathos in equal doses. When he finds no other jobs and just sitting at home is too shameful, Abhishek Tripathi (Jitendra Kumar) takes up a government job as the secretary or Sachiv as the villagers call him, of the Phullera village panchayat in Uttar Pradesh. The salary is meagre, and the vagaries of village life are overwhelming.

Sumeet Vyas (Tvf’s Permanent Roommate fame), will be seen in an unexpected pregnancy turmoil with Kalki Koechlin in Rakhee Sandilya’s Ribbon. The film shows a young urban couple dealing with the ups and down in personal and professional life after an unexpected pregnancy.
When asked if his character is similar to Mikesh’s character from Permanent Roommate, as they both land in unexpected pregnancy, Sumit says, “My character in Ribbon is diagonally opposite from Mikesh in Permanent Roommates. He’s not Goofy, he’s not Naive like Mikesh, Karan is far closer to me in real life, and hence it was scary to portray his transition in the film, because I got scared I might turn into an unreasonable person if I came across such testing times. Comparing the two stories is saying all love stories are the same, every hero is Romeo and every heroine is Juliet.
