VDoing a professional course doesn’t exactly leave you with a lot of time to watch T.V.......but whenever, you do get the privilege, you try to make the most of it.......but this whole attack of unrealistic, melodramatic and larger than life Hindi serials has only left me VERY disappointed with how our prime-time slots are being wasted on unproductive, absolutely useless and actually destructive soaps. Personally, I haven’t come across any FANTASTICALLY watchable soap so far and so......I turned to English soaps and reality shows which were a lot more entertaining. That brings me to another point.
Even the reality shows here are far from reality. They all seem staged and fake.....nobody and no thingseems to be real. Big farce.As for the five worst.......I would say....1) Kasaut’ii’ Zindagi ’kay’ : The spellings, for starters, are all ludicrous. You kinda get switched off the moment you see such nonsensical spellings on screen. Then, its always some hi-fi melodrama. Sukhi parivar.....bete ki shaadi.........bahu ka aana......ghar tod jaana.....todne ke baad bhi chen nahi paana.....bete ki shaadi dobara......
Phir sukhi parivar.....(then the previous sequence repeats)......till you come back to sukhi parivar again .......(and again the sequence repeats). .......villian ka mar jaana.......PUNARJANM.......kabhi bhi mara hua aadmi (ya aurut) vaapas aa jaye.....BADLAAAAAA........gosh! Have mercy on us, Ms.K. Viewers are NOT FOOLISH. One person marries 3 to 4 times and still he is the ’aadarshvadi’ hero of the serial....and THOSE VAMPS. Man..........their eye colour keeps changing, make-up pehen ke hi woh log so jaate hain....god knows how.......they are all so vacuous.....AND here’s the most ridiculous part of it all......the moment the vamp starts thinking about some EVIL plt.
- there’s this trademark music that plays in the background.....
2) Jassi jaisi koi nahi : Funny.......yeah, I mean we all like seedhi-saadi ladkiyan, but does seedhi saadi mean that she has to look ugly or something? they couldv’e shown a plain Jane in a more presentable manner. 3) Big boss : Don’t wanna talk about it. I saw this show for the first time at a friend’s house. Her mother and sister were glued to the television as if World cup ka final chal raha hain and the teams are India and Aus. I thought that this must really be worth watching then, but I was soooooooo wrong.
4) Kahin kisi roz : The spellings again..Kaaaaahin....kisiiiiiii.....sigh Bahu dies.....or that’s what people think....comes back with a ’new face’. Saans is the villian. And just look at those ’bindis’ the saans adorns her forehead with. Ay hayy....
5) Kyunki ....... : There’s this thing about most K-type serials....its always almost similar ingredients....cooked in a different way.. Essential ingredient 1- Saas, bahu, ex-wife, ex-husband, lots of villians, dead people coming alive, fast forward 20 years....
Essential ingredient 2 - MAKE UP.....Essential ingredient 3 - Sabhi baatien ’crores’ mein hi chalti hai.Essential ingredient 4 - One lady (or gentleman)is always the poor little innocent thing who has to fight against all ODDS. SAHANSHAKTI. Nah...wait a minute...’SAHANNSHAKKTIII’ is more like it.Essential ingredient 5 - You tell me....if there’s something I haven’t noticed. Gimme a break!
