Best of Luck Nikki is a Disney Channel India sitcom, which premiered 3 April 2011.The series is an Indian adaptation of the American teen show Good Luck Charlie. The plot is similar to the American one, with some exceptions.
The series was created by Phil Baker and Drew Vaupen, who wanted to create a program that would appeal to entire families, as opposed to kids and teens only. It revolves around a family, the Singhs, as they try to adjust to the birth of their fourth child, Nikki Singh. In each episode, Dolly Singh creates a video diary containing advice for Nikki about their family and life as a teenager. Dolly tries to show Nikki what she might go through in the video diary so she can always know how to figure things out when she gets older, when she wouldn't be around. In the third season Nikki's younger sibling Bobby was born. The show went on hiatus on 8 November 2015 and later showed the left episodes at 9:00pm every on Disney Channel (India). The show went on hiatus to give space to Vicky and Vetaal Season 2 which aired on 15 November 2015. Possibly all the episodes are over.
Best of Luck Nikki Season 4 was cut off short due to extremely low TRPs. There are possibilities of a film, Best of Luck Dolly, which may air on 2017 but this is not confirmed.
The series revolves around the Singh family, who are still adjusting to the birth of their fourth child, Nikita (Nikki) Singh. When parents Himani, a nurse, and Avatar Singh, an electrician, return to work, they ask their three older children, Rohan, Dolly and Sunny for help raising their little sister. At the same time, Dolly, Rohan, and Sunny try to deal with school and typical teen-aged social challenges in their life.
The events of each episode become material for a video diary Dolly is making for her younger sister. Dolly hopes the videos will provide useful advice for Nikki after they have both grown up and Dolly has moved out. Also at the end of each video, she states, "Best of luck, Nikki".
Season 1 revolves around a 15-year-old Dolly who is a studious girl, with her best friend Pam, and has a crush on her classmate Ritesh, a 9-year-old Sunny who is notorious both in school, the neighbourhood and at home, and an 18-year-old Rohan who is hy and lags behind academically. His best friend is the equally lazy Popi who has a crush on Dolly. Himani is temporarily on leave from work due to Nikki's birth and Avtar is busy with his electrical business.Himani is reaveled to be with 5th child.
Season 2 jumps to a 16-year-old Dolly who has now broken up with Ritesh and is dating Rahul, her former enemy, and Pam who is dating Jatin. Himani is active at work and struggles to manage her lazy and troublesome family while Avtar deals with his business. Sunny has to cope with hiding his school pranks from his parents and Rohan is shown to attend college with Popi.
