Indian Television Industry -- What???

There are a plethora of tv serials around these days. But my God!!How bad are they! While I was at home last week I saw this program called uttaran. Now here is the scene. Icha is getting married and right now its her mehendi ceremony. Her jealous friend is lousily dancing on "mere hathon main nau nau chooriyan". Just like typical hindi movies which are now forgotten the song ends peacefully and the drama begins (Why do the daku/chor/any hinderance in walking and talking form appear only after the song has ended?? Probably even they are busy enjoying the song). While there was nothing to enjoy in this performance ... this dude walks up shouting at the top of his voice at the bride to be. Apparently this person is the groom to be and is upset because iccha has written him a letter (i would like to comment here that who writes letter these days but chalo ...granted!!) asking him whether he would be able to accept her knowing she has had an unpleasant past. Basically this guy is here to declare his undying love for her in front of everybody present in the hall. He rants his wierdo dialogues and then comes the most amazing part ... He says "tum janna chahti ho main tumse kitna pyaar karta hoon?" and he bares his chest which has icha written over it and says ..."Ye dekho"

Such scenes make you flinch! Now we know that there is good talent out there which can be put across on screens beautifully. But why serve such nonsense? The reason that people like this is not a thought which can easily be bought. There have been other programs as well and people have liked them too.

Since TV is more accessible than movies, it is only obvious that it is more true to real life. I mean people have their own life. Everybody is not consumed in planning on destroying other people's lives. There is life beyond love and cheating. Every other girl does not get married just to take up a pallu on their heads and keep getting coffees for their husbands.

I hope TV becomes more sensible and entertaining. I breaks my heart to see nothing entertaining.
