This classical Indian twist to the F.R.I.E.N.D.S theme song will simply blow your mind away!

The American sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S won millions of hearts when it aired and has remained a staunch favourite among the youth till date. The 6 characters: Chandler Bing, Monica Geller, Ross Geller, Rachel Greene, Phoebe Buffay and Joey Tribbiani have created a special place in the hearts of millions of people the world over. Lines from the series are still recited and the theme song, I’ll Be There For You’ played regularly. The series was witty, touching and at the same time also practical. It showed the life of the youngsters perfectly and with the well etched characters and perfect situations, the 10 Seasons of F.R.I.E.N.D.S still top charts and are preferred over every other show. Really, the show seems eternal when you think of it – something that will probably be loved by generations!

But then, while you do completely adore F.R.I.E.N.D.S, do you know that we Indians had tried adapting a show along similar lines in the 2000s! But then, try as they might they obviously could not recreate the classic F.R.I.E.N.D.S magic and the show went off air pretty quickly. The theme song tune that we still hum though crazy popular among Indians has luckily, not yet “inspired” any music directors and has stayed unsullied. The catchy tune is so beautiful and never ceases to bring a smile on our faces. But then, what if F.R.I.E.N.D.S as an Indian TV series had actually worked? Or rather, after their initial disastrous attempts, what if the makers had tried once more and a la true saas-bahu style given us a desi F.R.I.E.N.D.S version too?
