5 Reasons why we need superhero themed shows on Indian television!

Every Kid dreams of being a super hero. Wouldn't it be amazing to have some sort of superpower? Super heroes inspire people and with a number of new super heroes coming every now and then a question arises in my mind. Why isn't our country venturing into this genre? Here are 5 reasons why India needs its very own Superhero series!

1.       They have very interesting storylines.

All superheroes have really interesting back stories. Some of them are really deep and keep the audience hooked on. Maybe this will replace all the random things that are put up in the current Daily soaps!

 

2.       They take you to another realm!

Superhero movies and shows take you to a whole new world where anything is possible. People can fly. Super villains replace vamps and epic fights! The rising action is just mesmerizing!

 

3.       They give you a totally new concept to think about.

Every person who walks out after watching a superhero series goes into a different state of mind. We start thinking about what would happen if all this was real? What if I was a super hero?

 

4.       They will provide a break from the daily Saas-Bahu sagas.

In case you are bored watching all the stereotyped and never ending daily soaps, these shows would be ice breakers for you. After all in the superhero world, nothing is impossible! It would be refreshing to see such shows.

 

5.       A good way to attract young audience!

Who fancies superheroes? Kids! I remember the time I used to cry if I overslept on a Sunday and missed an episode of Shaktimaan! These shows would attract the young audience and fetch higher Ratings for the channel.

India needs to experiment with this genre and the industry has talented people that could create shows to compete with international series like 'The Flash' and 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' India Has a rich history and some of its elements can be used to create a really interesting superhero Series!
