Watching television serials has become a major part of the average Indian homemaker. An unending saga about Saree-clad women would almost always be the storyline.In the past month, I have had a terrible time watching episodes from a serial(from a well known channel) and I have to say these writers are more creative than science fiction writers! My question is how one can sit through every episode knowing very well that it is over hyped and exaggerated?!Some soaps bring mind numbing 'twists' like introducing a twin for every damn character!!
Ekta KKKapoor has already done enough damage with her KKkahanis. She has taken cinematic liberty to another level.Every serial of hers has a central character who is the epitome of love, goodness and all the likes, when in today's world survival is dictated by nerve and spine.So please wake up and smell the coffee, Mam!
In another one such brainless drama, a character falls into a coma. The doctor and a 'swami' suggest she marries as its the only way she can 'come back to life'. How preposterous can it get? A medical miracle of some sort would still be believable!Rural parts of the country which have access to these serials can fall prey to these situations and even go to the extent of mimicking them. Instead of using television media to the advantage of projecting good sense and judgement, it is doing the exact opposite.
I seriously hope and pray that a brand of healthy and sound serials are contrived by sensible writers, because our women(who are the targeted audience) deserve a lot more.
Try watching Malayalam Serials, You'll agree that the K Serials are a lot better. It is high time that some of these serials are banned forever!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have watched Malayalam serials too.There is no question of which is better..all are equally bad.(excluding a select few) :P
