Scored from 34 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2000s (1,360 peers).
Summary
Hindi sitcom created by Aatish Kapadia for STAR One, set in an upmarket apartment building in Mumbai's Cuffe Parade. Status-obsessed Maya Sarabhai (Ratna Pathak Shah) has never accepted her son's wife Monisha (Rupali Ganguly), a thrifty bargain-hunter whose 'middle-class' habits Maya corrects at every opportunity, and most episodes turn on that running humiliation and on Sahil (Sumeet Raghavan) refereeing between the two. Maya's husband Indravadan (Satish Shah) spends his days needling his wife and siding with Monisha for sport. Younger son Rosesh (Rajesh Kumar) still lives with his parents and performs dreadful poems in tribute to his mother. Both households occupy the same building, so nobody can avoid anybody.
Released in 2004, Sarabhai V/S Sarabhai is a comedy television series. It was made in India. It plays in Hindi. Episodes run about 22m.
Only 34 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 39 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. 1,359 other television series from the 2000s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Sarabhai V/S Sarabhai lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against TV Series · 2000s (1,360 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 34.
