Did your dog run away? Call Rimjhim for help.
Is your son plotting to kill you and take away all the wealth? No problem ? Rhimjim helps solve the issue.
Is your daughter in law 1 conspiring against daughter in law 2 and planning to frisk her son? Rhimjim makes sun shine.
Is your neighbor?s wife having an affair with your boss? Rhimjhim ahoy!
Do you need a lawyer, a soothsayer, a spiritualist, a mother teresa? Rhimjim again!
To solve all the associated sundry events and quandaries of this world, there is none but Rhimjim, whose life is perpetually on tenterhooks trying to bring about world peace and harmony to herself, her house, dogs, cats and a depressed teddy bear passing off as head of family. (The depressed teddy bear is courtesy MS member Suprena1). That in sums up what this serial tries to pass off as ? Piya Ka Ghar.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Of course, I am yet to figure out whose Piya and whose Ghar it all belongs to. A complicated whirlwind of a story hasn?t helped either. A mega large family (why can?t people in serials produce lesser number of children simply fails me!), with a depressed teddy bear leads the cast of this serial. Other delectable members of this enterprising family are ?
3 monkeys passing of as teddy bear?s sons.
A vixen with broken legs passing off as teddy bear?s wife. All that the vixen has to do in the serial is growl menacingly at any passerby and utter a few words like ?Aey Ladki? with utmost glee.
A confused hedgehog with glasses passing off as teddy bear?s sister. The hedge at most times accompanies the vixen and loves to shirk its thorns every time the vixen gets hyper active.
2 Hippos passing off as 1st and 2nd monkey? wives. The elder hippo loves to play the disgruntled villain not satisfied with the ocean around it and tries to aim the stars, while the second hippo gives it immense competition being equally wily, and at the same time getting involved in underworld, world politic and the likes.
Oh yea, there is a third hippo always scheming and plotting of eating other?s babies ? I mean stealing someone else?s babies.
A couple of foxes, a cow passing off as politician, a buffalo as underworld mafia and a rather slimy giraffe make up for the rest of the inmates of this zoo.
Meet the zoo keeper ? Rhimjim.
-----------------------------------------------------------
If Rhimjim is not getting the teddy bear to smile, then she is either settling a bout between the two hippos, or is trying her best not to uproar the vixen and its companied. If Rhimjim is not pleasing her monkey, then she is busy stopping the other two monkeys from tearing each other?s hair out. And if Rhimjim is not doing anything in particular, there is always the giraffe who threatens to run away with her beloved monkey. The of course, the cow straying 10 miles away is as much her business as much as the black buffalo (No, its not a paradox!), is her concern as well. In between, she also keeps busy shooing away un-required species like mamaji-fox and other sundry elements.
The three monkeys while their time in business pleasures, and fight amongst themselves. The first 2 monkeys want the cage torn down, which causes the teddy bear to have multiple bouts of hysteria and heart attacks ? alas, not once does he die. Why the teddy tries to hang himself once, but the whole circus troupe somehow manage to save him. Anyhow, I hope you got the gist of it all.
Of course the receiving end of all this is the zoo keeper called Rhimjim. The inmates have such tremendous liking and obsession towards Rhimjim that any specie even remotely with Rimjhim won?t do. Thus, she is always at receiving end of it all ? The hippos threaten to eat her off, while the vixen can?t wait to tear her face in two. The hedgehog fantasizes herself entangled in her too. The teddy is the only one quite understandable towards Rimjhim.
As if this weren?t enough, the giraffe is always busy poking her nose in zoo keeping activities trying to learn some tricks herself.
Gosh so much for animal exotica eh? I best, animal planet has better things to watch.
-----------------------------------------------------------
As expected, the direction is crass from the word go. There is no rhyme or reason or anything. A misguided doctor from another serial has ended up as a vet in this serial trying to cure the zoo keeper who is suffering from a vixen bite ? I mean, cancer. There is no reason why zookeeper needs to die, and there is no reason why she will survive.
I don?t have animal planet telecast on my TV ? thus I get my share of my animals by watching this serial. As expected, the depressed teddy bear steals the show by its sheer intensity and its idiosyncrasies of its life. Its indeed a great relief to my comic bones when I see the bear sing or break into a jig. The others merely add or decrease some amount of glitter. I only hope they don?t show the two hippos hugging each other ever ? that might cover the whole TV screen ? gosh!
-----------------------------------------------------------
If you were wondering why my review began with humans and quite inanely moved towards animals, well, the review has no purpose and its purposeless at this serial is. I know my review meandered endlessly into something else, but that?s just a melancholy out of watching Piya Ka Ghar. Yes Yes ? its still a human serial.
Go figure out the animals.

PS: Thanks suprena1 for the giraffe and the teddy bear.
