The series stars Sumeet Raghvan as the protagonist who is the head master of Hindi speaking institute. The idea for the plot has been taken from Mind Your Language , the British sitcom from the late '70s. [1] The series revolves around the hilarious miscommunication between the students due to language barriers.

Plot

The comedy series centres on a Hindi-learning class which has students from different nationalities and ethnicities. [3]

Cast

Reception

Biswadeep Ghosh of National Herald wrote, "It is impossible to understand why ALTBalaji chose to produce a pathetic remake of the 1990s classic Zabaan Sambhal Ke. Each actor seems uninspired, apart from Sumeet Raghavan who is occasionally tolerable as the Hindi instructor teaching a motley group of students. The liberal use of double entendre is one of the dubious hallmarks of the script, which has nothing in common with the original barring the basic idea." [4]
