How many of you agree with my statement above? I know I would get millions of people agreeing with me on that.
 
Why Indian Soap Opera is such a trash? Don't they have any creativity? All the serials have same topics. Wohi Saas, bahu, nanand. Extra marital affairs. One gets married to someone but has a child of someone else. Its just full of crap.
 
And these all started by Ekta Kapoor. Indian serials are often stereotypical, both in storylines and in characters. The ideals of the quintessential Indian Family are often given fanatical attention to, which lines being written in grand, melodramatic tones, drawing in references to events in the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, the typical Indian Woman, and other similar themes. Balaji Telefilms has often been frowned at for repeating the same essential storylines with different characters and sets (altering the sequence of events and their intensity) to create more and more serials. 
 
And because of Balaji Telefilms success (sort of success) now everyone else is trying the same funda for hoping to success.
 
 

 

And the direction of the serials are so horrible. Looks like no one knows how to hold a camera. The camera often spins wildly from character to character during scenes in which shocking news is revealed, shaking vigorously when a character faints, and showing the same slap hitting the same cheek thrice during a confrontation, keeping in sync with the overall melodramatic touch most of the serials prefer to incorporate. WTF ??

 

Don't you directors and producers see anything else? There are so many topics out there apart from these melodrama.

 

No Indian serial so far has dealt with issues such as the legislative system, the medical system, rural issues, etc., and though some are set within legal/medical/rural contexts, it has storylines, once more, largely based on marriage and family, or rather, the concepts of marriage and family in the traditional Indian context.

 

Well What can I say more about these soap operas. I can just turn off the TV and do something useful. But my point --> I don't know what I was going to say. Every time I think about these soap operas, I become aggressive and always think of doing something. 

 

So thats the reason why I posted this article. If you are like me, please post your comment here and lets do something about it. Lets stop these bakawas and make our Indian Television better place. :-)

 

Thanks for your time. Please put your comments and suggestions.
