Why does everything have to be a family drama with an evil vamp who does everything to torture the FL. Im losing hope in indian serials. Same shows have been in the top 10 for more than 10 years now
All the new shows start out with interesting premise. But they don't have the luxury of time which the old shows had.The writers scramble for trp instead of building up the characters and plot slowly. What has remained unchanged is that female leads are all martyrs for their family, give boring lectures and fall into the male lead's arms at every episode.
I'd love to see more flawed protagonists.Like Vishal's Lakhan in Begusarai. The characters should make mistakes and learn from it.
I'm currently watching Mehandi hai rachne waali. The female lead is criticized for trying to do everything by herself. And she ends up in more trouble because of it. The hero tells her that her family doesn't deserve her after what they did to her. And guess what, she actually listens.Here Tara is giving chance after chance to her deadbeat family. And does not even listen to Deva when he asks her to think why her family comes back for the party after writing her off after her marriage.He knows that they are a bunch of freeloaders after his money.
