10 Things that should be banned on Indian Television.

The current scenario in our country is pretty hot!..

The current scenario in our country is pretty hot! With new bans coming up, the people of our country have started giving new ideas for future bans! Here is our take on 1o things that should be banned on Indian TV!

Disclaimer- the things mentioned below are just our opinion regarding things that the audience dislike. 

1.       Unnecessary drags.


At first the suspense builds up but later on the same suspense turns into frustration! It gets irritating when you have to wait for something for a really long time!

 

2.       Cloning!


It is not scientifically possible nor it is possible that a human clone can be created. And some shows show double roles which are just found! There can be look alikes but there can't be exact replicas!

 

3.       Filler episodes.


Sometimes unnecessary episodes are added to prove a point or to promote an upcoming movie. This takes the show off track and is quite annoying for hardcore fans!

 

4.       Unrealistic tracks.


Do the producers think that adding Naagins and Ghosts in the show will fetch them higher ratings? We are the audience. We are not kids. Can't there be more realism?

 

5.       Replacements that don't match.


An actor who is being replaced should get a replacement that atleast looks like him a little bit. The technology is way in the future where you could completely change a person's face without leaving back nasty stars!

 

6.       Full day repeat telecast!


This is good in a way because the people who missed the previous episodes can catch up to the story. But shouldn't there be a different medium like the internet for this? Instead the channels can screen a good movie!

 

7.       Reaction pe Reaction.


Although this has reduced over the period of time it still exists. Showing shocked reactions of the entire cast backed by thunderclaps is not acceptable anymore. Ban it please!

 

8.       Saas Bahu Quarrel.


Why can any Saas-Bahu live happily? Majority of serials show them fighting for various reasons. Are the mothers really so insecure about their sons?

 

9.   Badly timed advertisments!


It is really frustrating when advertisements interrupt your favourite show.some times its okay to take a break but not in the middle of the climax! It kills all the excitement generated!

 

10.   Dhoom Tanana!


They should really ban the use of aalaps to create a high tension environment. The same can be done with deep bass or Heavy Metal! These tracks are so annoying that they play at the back of my mind sometimes!

 

At this rate the next thing that the government would ban is banning! what do you think should be banned? Leave a comment below!

I can add more to this list, but this is a good one! For me OTT drama is at the top of the list.

Nice article! Agree with all the points and other comments too. Wish the season concept was adopted more. If you do want to continue showing dragging soap dramas do so during the day. Like in the west, afternoon tv on cable has daytime soaps which drag on for years. And prime time tv is episodic with at least 18-24 episodes per season. And ideally have different genres. Here many shows start out promising and end up going the same route.

Tight script with good direction is the need of the hour! 24 was such a hit because one new the end was within sight. These endless serials make no sense-shaadi 20 episode keench sakte hain, Karva Chauth 30 , Dewali 40!! if nothing else show violence!
Most of us watch Pakistani serials as they have tight scripts with max 30 episodes. A good example is Kuch toh Log Kahenge--till it kept to the story of Dhoop Kinare it was so well done--and then it went berserk and was unwatchable! Same with Qubool Hai-once they tried to prolong the serial it went haywire! The essence of the story that off the feud between two offshoots of the family was forgotten and the villainess became supreme--killing everyone at will and so gruesomely that it was unwatchable! These are the only two I have watched on TV and have no desire to go through this horror again!

Catchy article.
Indian dramas needed a restart and fresh. All shows starting was nice, but wen main story plot finish, they want to end it, but they extending for years and years. On wondering how ppl watching .

The first thing to ban is the looong series running into 1000's of episodes; Like the West they should run for 13 episodes, take a break and then write and ideate a cogent script before they shoot the next series.
