I hate Ekta Kapoor and Indian Soap Opera

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.

    I totally agree with the Mr Pathak...I used to think, am I the only one in the planet sickened by these trashes, thank god there are some like me. I never watch these garbages, just fleeting glances while my other half literally devours episodes after episodes. I some times wonder how someone even with a minimal intellect could endure such nonesenses...frankly, these soaps are helping to degrade and pollute indian sense of good taste...the acting is lousy (even a 5 year old can do these actings), direction is abysmal, storyline is pathetic...costumes ghastly, music is simply painfully monotonous...amazingly there millions of viewers even in the west...

    How long are we going to suffer watching such crap. I recall that everything was so good until the late 90's..even zee tv had a good beginning with serials like "campus". Now we have already lost one decade of quality entertainment.... n this seems to be continuing further.... wonder what happened to the audience.. don't see too many dissatisfied faces around..

    Those who create these 'rubbish' have no other genre than saas-bahu. Can you people please stop dumping your trash in Malaysia. I'm paying for cable television & when I sit to watch some Hindi movies on ZEE during prime time, suddenly, there are so many of this rubbish on the commercial break where they spin the camera and show some stupid suspense on this soap operas. What is wrong with you people ? Can you guys stop dumping your waste in Malaysia. I certainly have a lot of respect for Hindi movies but WTF is wrong with Hindi soap operas. That is why i stopped watching ZEE and now I watch B4U. At least they don't broadcast crap for now.

    1001 Nights anyone?

    The real problem is that they don't start with a proper script. They start filming with only the beginning of a seed of a concept and then make it up as they go along, resulting in a never-ending story with a convoluted plot line, no resolution in sight for miles, clichés galore and leaves you wondering where they're headed and what they're trying to achieve.

    The jarring sound/special effects don't help ease the headache that the stories induce either.

    i fully agree with you.now-a-days soaps hold nothing good about the women in it.it shows nonsense about them, their character.sometimes i feel ekta has gone nuts.does n't she feel ashamed showing nonsensical untrue things about women everyday.she may feel happy .she has become immune as she is the cause of this negative thing.anu u r wrong as too much in anything is bad.itz disgusting.
