Why is there such less crossover between BW and TV in India? - Page 2

Because they are not good enough.. in TV, all that is required is a hot bod and there would be numerous girls fangirling and drooling.. acting, dialogue delivery is not at all required.. On the other hand, mostly, in films, a hot bod can get you by in one film, two film but in the end, limited acting skills would end the career

I was watching the old Rishtey episodes and I seriously miss Indian Tv of the past. I am glad you made this topic.

i dont know how people watch today's TV serials ..which have no head and tail TBH

Right. I still have some questions though.

First, how can we say that TV actors are necessarily satisfied with what they're doing? They are actors and I think it would be fair to say that at least a few of them have BW aspirations. The reason they're doing soaps is because they can't find work in movies and have to make a living.

Also, it's not like TV actors are alone in doing jobs which may not be creatively satisfying. Movie actors do them too. Actors are also not responsible for content. That depends on the PHs and the audience.

If Indian TV is trash, the reason is because the Indian audience doesn't accept quality shows, like it doesn't with quality movies. Sasuraal Simar Ka, SNS etc are numero uno because the audience made them so. It's the audience which wants to watch saas vs bahu all the time. Even when PHs try to experiment and bring out stuff like Mahi Way, Rishta.Com etc, they are soundly rejected by the audience. How are the actors at fault here? Since TV shows are like that, TV actors also do not get to necessarily show off their acting chops, because they know they are playing stereotypical characters.

I read an interview of EK after her show on Life OK with Sonali Bendre went off air that PHs try to experiment, but if the audience likes naagins over such content, there's not much she can do. If the audience doesn't change, how will content on TV change?

There are good actors on TV, just that they never get to shine on the big screen because of lack of opportunities. How is Arjun Kapoor better than any TV actor? The difference is he gets opportunities because he is Boney Kapoor's son.
