Studio LSD’s latest offering, Tumm Se Tumm Tak, takes Indian television into bold new territory. With its central theme of an age-gap relationship, the show dares to challenge societal expectations, offering a narrative that is as emotionally grounded as it is dramatically engaging.
At its heart, Tumm Se Tumm Tak is about the unexpected connection between Arya Vardhan (Sharad Kelkar), a businessman and Anu (Niharika Chouksey), a young, spirited woman with her own set of emotional baggage. What begins as a tale of two contrasting individuals slowly morphs into a complex emotional web layered with romance, social prejudice, secrets, and inner healing. Sharad Kelkar makes a solid return to television after years, slipping effortlessly into the role of Arya. His restraint and intensity bring gravitas to the show, especially in emotionally heavy scenes.
Niharika Chouksey is a revelation. She portrays Anu with sincerity, capturing the innocence, vulnerability, and emotional strength of a girl who loves against all odds. Their chemistry is subtle yet deeply affecting. Prateek Sharma and Parth Shah, known for their flair for storytelling, deliver a show that balances commercial appeal with emotional authenticity. The writing is tight, the pacing is consistent, and the treatment of sensitive themes is commendably nuanced. Tumm Se Tumm Tak is a bold and refreshing addition to Indian television. It stands out not just for its theme, but for how sensitively it handles it. Backed by strong performances and thoughtful storytelling, the show is both entertaining and thought-provoking—a rarity in the current TV landscape.
