I would like to thank members for the respective replies. Yes you are right ..maybe I need to be more patient and give the show more time. I guess shows like Game of Thrones, Sons of Anarchy, House of Cards etc have resulted in me having a comparatively short attention span. How I long for Indian television to be as gripping as the ones abroad but hopefully we would get there one day..
Meanwhile I would give Begusarai another chance- yesterday's episode did seem promising. Some new storylines seem to be opening up and from the looks of it Bindiya vs Maya seems to be on card. Now that's going to be captivating.
My grouse against love stories in my last post was directed not just against Begusarai but also towards Indian Television in general. In my opinion every Indian TV show is carried forward on the basis of love story..it seems to be an easy way out for content developers, something like the Saas-Bahu era a decade back. I guess its about taking risks which I thought & TV was aiming for. I have nothing against love..we Indians are suckers for all things mushy but love is just one of the basic human emotions.
Love plays an important part in everyone's life..heck my wife and me have had an awesome love story but I repeat there is much more to life than just this. & TV has been given a blank canvass and now its upto them to rewrite Indian Television. Please don't mess this up guys..
I would give this show more time and would also look forward to interacting more with you guys. It seems like an intelligent and informed forum. Cheers Guys !
