soap opera
TV, serials, prime time, typical music in the backdrop, tense audience watching the same sequence without blinking an eyelid, repeat and repeat till u drown, in it.Familiar?In India yes.Anything that happens three times is a result of the soaps that have made it popular.Ask me what and check out that tight slap given by the mother in law to the daughter in law,it will resonate 3 times..bam bam bam.The camera will pan and keep showing that impact as if it were a nuclear explosion that rocked the country.The heavy makeup when you sleep and the brocaded, silk , high end exclusive sarees that one wears even at home makes you wonder-- wow why does one have to run after the swiss money ...??Sell a few of these and one could be a millionaire.The makeup manufacturers must be a happy lot to see there products being used at night time ,the mascara, the rouge the eyeliners and eyeshadow clubbed up with the jewellery....goodness gracious.What surprises me is that the TRP ratings are high and people flock to see this 'soap' which really needs cleansing in my opinion.Out of the 30 minutes, 15 minutes are advertisement space,balance 10 mins for repeating the same frame with all resonating background music and 5 mins of sobdom where glycerine flows free.Extra marital exploits,children born out of wedlock,anger , jealousy, and all such emotions flowing freely and educating the current generation what they should or should not do.Why can't we have laughter, comedy( clean and witty) not the garbage and double edged strained comedies we have to make our stressed life a bit simple and nice end of the day.Even the news is full of negative tones and what remains is a stressed out, demoralized Indian, looking lost and confused and unable to think sane with all this "c++p" around him.why don't the producers apply some creativity and add spice and fun to the average Indians life than stressing on the reality marriage shows and the likes?

All this crap fired for years on the Indian viewers has possibly corrupted their tastes beyond repair. Now they seem to actually like it. One wonders why there shouldn't be creative censoring. Another idea is to put a cap (say 100) on the no. of episodes (with the hope that more meaningful content will be squeezed in available time).
ReplyDeletesir there are certain serials which are running like jacks beanstlak...i fail to understand how trp of the same remains continue it is like making you lock down and focus entirely on the chain of so called useless events i tell you i have seen so called people with sound brain being addicted to it.
ReplyDeleteas you have metioned on your blog why cant we show something humoures . laughter which is again clean and witty would definetley give impact on the life of people and in there deeds.
