TV SOAPS : SAREES, TEARS AND PANCAKES!

Off late the media was full of tribute to Indian cinema for completing 100 years. But now I guess it’s time we also start celebrating the same for the “telly world” as well. After all, serials have given birth to many fine actors who have now done noticeable and impressive works in Bollywood/films.

But there is one thing that I really like about T.V. serials. No matter whether the person knows how to act… or the actor is SLIM or FLABBY… or whether they even fit the roles or not… the “actors” will still be there and still be LIKED by the audience. It seems like producers and directors have started settling for any tom-dick-n-harry!!!

With absolutely no offence to GOOD actors, but when I see a few of them…the only thought that comes is, “if she can act, so can I”. J

Any chick who is ready to wear the EXTRA HEAVY ZARI SAREEs… with layers of PANCAKES and FOUNDATION to get a mannequin like spotless face and put on weird wigs…will probably be welcomed in the “telly world” and by the viewers of course.

But then again, I have many questions with respect to these serials:

1. Why do they have to show so much hatred and negativity?

-there are good people and good stories out there… JUST OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE!!!!

 2. Why do they have to portray the mother-in-laws so cruel and/or timid? Why always so extreme??

- come on now….there are mothers and mother-in-laws who are really sweet and understanding.

3. Why do you show men so desperate for EXTRA love…and into extra marital affairs???

-committed guys are not yet extinct…! :P so you can show them as well!!!! J

I have seldom seen a serial that shows reality in the REAL WAY!!

Many serials are produced only to go off air in just 6 months! L Before producing, didn’t the producers understand by the story line…Whether it was good enough to be produced or not??? Why waste so much money and time?! I know there are other meaningful channels which show really amazing and true stuff like DISCOVERY, WILDLIFE, and HISTORY…but not everyone watches or understands the programs.

In fact our first national channel “Door Darshan” has also been commercialized to great extends. One must see the kind of soap operas being shown! Pathetic! Pity! L Hardly any quality.

But even now, producers seem to have stopped learning lessons from their mistakes…and keep producing n number of serials.

Till the producers don’t understand and rectify their mistake by making something sensible, enjoy the SAAS-BAHU DRAMA, the EXTRA MARITAL AFFAIRS and the COLORFUL SAREES!!!

After all it is the viewers who decide which program does well and stays for long! J

Enjoy!

  2. well dear frnd.....acting can't be said ethical from any direction (even comedies)...the reasons are many...which u too may be aware of. the thing on which ur post is about is the cause of many divorces, destruction of parent child relationship...these can also be the said attributes of the "IDIOT BOX"
    ......but after all we r only making them successful. Married stars getting cosy with the opposite gender causing havoc at their own homes. roles which they are acting are influencing many young minds in real life in that direction.

    1. hmmm.... that's right. it must be really difficult and uneasy for the spouse to see his/her partner getting up and close with some other actor.... i agree on that.
      that is probably the leading reason of divorse among many couples in film industry.
