TB - Bairi Piya to go off air; Laagi to take over - Page 9

Feedback sent to the Colors T.V website.


While browsing the net for Indian news, I came upon a snippet announcing the cancellation of one of your shows (Bairi Piya)& subsequently read about the kaffafel it seems to have caused amongst its fans. Upon reading a synopsis of the show, I felt compelled to write you.
Throughout history we have been exposed to stories of forbidden love. The tales of Sir lancelot & Guinevere, Hades & Persephone come to mind.
Evidently the show didn't sit well with the majority of our regressive, morality touting population & unfortunately for the few fans of the show, its just a numbers game.
Its a pity though because given time this show could have worked on a number of platforms. Afterall, a repentant, reformed Thakur could have had far-reaching positive consequences on the lives around him. With a strong, good woman by his side they could have together worked for the upliftment of the village, thus bringing back the social theme of the show, appeasing your target audience as also the love-sick fans! Sadly that may not happen now.
As a relatively new channel I commend you for trying to be bold, change is a painful process.
Dont be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated, you can't cross a chasm in two small jumps - David Lloyd george.
I don't get Indian T.V where I live & most days I don't miss it, but something about this story appeals to my sensibilities. So today, although i haven't watched Bairi Piya i will sign the petition to stop it from going off-air, atleast not in such an abrupt manner
Hoping for an intelligent outcome.
