Does popularity of a movie/show affect your opinion of regressiveness? - Page 2

I WAS an IB fan who keeps on bashing IB. 😆 Because it's the one of those regressive shows, which I've actually watched properly.

Actually I would've never watched that show, if Gul hadn't misleaded the audience, by promoting it as a story about brothers bonding. The show was promoted as a family drama, but Gul mata was again serving her stale mills and boons love story in the platter.

The show was still fine for the first few months. Yes, it had it's share of manhandling and regressiveness. The lead hero Shivaye was a certified MCP, but the other two brothers were very different from the typical Gul heroes. And they made me stick to the show. I was waiting for the show to focus on the story of the other two brothers, not realizing that Gul is making a fool out of me.😆

What I liked about the show was that, in the starting few months all characters had grey shades, instead of being black and white. The lead heroine Anika was also not mahaan at that time. The characters had depth, and they were actually relatable.

It was not a modern youth show, but it wasn't really regressive either.

I think after Shivaye-Anika marriage, the show became completely regressive, with that saas-bahu nonsense.

I've bashed other regressive shows too, but not much because I've never watched them regularly.
