Till recently, we have watched Tv serials 'inspired' or plainly adapted from movies, where the serial's story-line simply follows a popular movie's plot and it eventually becomes successful. Recent one is 'Pyaar Ki Ye Ek Kahani' (PS: title is as tacky as the series) which is very similar/inspired to the popular vampire love story Twilight series. Also there's 'Love U Zindagi' running on TV which is an adaptation of 'Jab We Met'.
Now this trend is about to change with successful serials replicating their story lines on the 70mm screen. We recently had 'Khichdi: The Movie' in 2010 which was a cinematic adaptation of the famous tele-series by the same name. Now Pankaj Kapoor's famous Office Office joins this league. Kapoor's new movie (tentatively titled) 'Pension Ki Tension' which is a take-off of his popular sitcom Office Office. Kapoor, along with his co-stars from the TV serial are living up their tele-image on the big screen as well.
If this movie is a hit or not is yet to be seen but it is certainly a pointer of many new trends coming in entertainment.
BTW, do you want any specific tele-series to be made into a movie? You can share in the 'comments' section.

Good as long as interesting serials like 'Khichdi ' and ' Office Office ' are made into films. God forbid if someone thought of making a movie on serials like ' Tara ' and 'Na Aana Is Des Laado' encompassing generations !
