Whenever you think of an Indian TV show, what comes to your mind? Obviously, it must be some over-dramatic scenes with hundreds of transitions and very loud “Dhoom Tana Nana…” music, a baseless story that continues for over a thousand episodes, where the girl wraps a curtain around her neck after being slapped, or washing a laptop and drying clothes in the microwave, flying car to the moon, hanging on kites, shape-shifting snakes, mongoose, peacock, housefly, etc.
Yes, it is all true and the Indian dramas have set the bar of entertainment so low that people who watch them definitely lose some of their brain cells. However, not all Indian dramas are like that, and there are few shows that are actually good among the sea of bad shows.
Today, we have brought you the five best Indian TV shows that you can watch and enjoy thoroughly. Being an Indian TV show, we definitely won’t say that these shows are not overdramatic, but compared to other shows like Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, Kumkum Bhagya, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Balika Vadhu, and other very popular and highly watched shows, these listed shows are quite good.
So let us start the list:

who aspires to become a cricketer, breaking the norms of her family and
society. Dhara Solanki has always wanted to become a cricketer and she is very
much supported by her father, Deepak Solanki. However, her grandmother is
against her dreams, but later she is also convinced. In the unfortunate turn of events, Dhara is forced to marry Mihir Shukhadia, who pretends to support
her at the beginning, but later reveals his true side and starts to control Dhara

Harish and his wife Supriya. Pooja and Naren slowly befriend each other, and
