Happu Singh’s Identity Crisis: Will He Be Renamed Tilchatta Singh?

It wouldn’t be wrong to say Sanjay and Binaiferr  Kohli’s Happu Ki Ultan Platan is the portrait of comedy in the Indian TV industry. The show, which is produced under the Edit II banner, has completed nine years on-air, and is looking forward to completing another nine and beyond.

The show, which is produced under the Edit II banner, features Yogesh Tripathi, Geetanjali Mishra, Himani Shivpuri, Sanjay Chaudhary, and Sonal Panwar, to name a few.

Here’s what to expect in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan this week. Geetanjali Mishra aka Rajesh shares, “Bimlesh (Sapna Sikarwar) has gone to her mayka and taken up a new job, leaving Benni (Vishwanath Chatterjee) irritated and restless in her absence. Upset and emotional, he begins throwing tantrums, claiming that if Bimlesh doesn’t return soon, he will start an affair with someone else. Desperate and frustrated, Benni confronts Happu Singh (Yogesh Tripathi), who reassures him with a bold promise that he will bring Bimlesh back. And if he fails, he is willing to change his name. Taking this promise quite literally, Benni gets an affidavit drafted declaring that Happu Singh will officially be renamed ‘Tilchatta Singh’ if he cannot bring Bimlesh back.

This leaves Happu terrified, especially when Benni starts threatening Rajesh (Geetanjali Mishra) and her mother Awdheshhiya (Urmila Sharma), though neither of them budge. Katori Amma (Himani Shivpuri) warns that mere threats won’t work, and real action is needed. Meanwhile, a quirky case lands at the police station involving a wife troubled by her tone-deaf husband. Sensing an opportunity, Happu convinces the woman, Surili, to pretend to be Benni’s love interest, hoping this act will save him from the dreaded name change. In return, Happu promises to scold her husband thoroughly. However, things take an unexpected turn when Happu learns that Surili’s husband is the brother of the Police Commissioner (Kishore Bhanushali), and tensions rise. Benni brings Surili home, but Awdheshhiya and Rajesh still don’t react, though deep down, both are extremely nervous. The situation escalates so far that Benni decides to marry Surili! Despite everyone’s reluctance, the wedding rituals begin. Just before the phere is about to take place, Surili’s real husband and the Commissioner storm in and expose the entire act as a charade. Rajesh and Awdheshhiya finally uncover the truth. Furious, Benni whips out the affidavit and warns Happu that by morning, his name will officially be Tilchatta Singh. Just then, Benni receives a message from an unknown number, supposedly from Bimlesh, saying that she is on her way and he shouldn’t worry. Relieved, Happu tears up the affidavit. Later that night, when he asks Rajesh about the sudden message, she confesses that she sent it from a different SIM card to save Happu from embarrassment. Will Benni discover Rajesh’s secret plan? Will Happu be forced to change his name, or is there another twist waiting to unfold?.
