No Sex in the City - the crisis of consummation in Indian TV


The other day as I flipped channels and cajoled my brain to tune out I realised that the lead couple on Star Plus show Yeh Hain Mohabbatein hadn't made love in 18 months. No, it isn't a spell in the desserts of intimacy. THEY HAVE NEVER HAD SEX.


There I said it, I used the dirtiest three letter word we know. The subject of public shame and private voyeurism. But Raman and Ishita's growing desperation to get some action, got me thinking about Indian television's crisis of consummation. To get or not to get laid, that is the burning question discussed in great detail by producers, writers, and creative directors. We sit like sadistic puppeteers making sure the characters we create are left turned on and waiting. If they can do it, then when do they do it? How long can we keep the audience engaged hoping to see the lead pair canoodling? More importantly what if the wafer thin plot crumbles once they are done with what should not even be a sub plot?



Consummation, as we rather formally refer to it, is a big tent pole in the show's life story. We write build up episodes, cut promos, have meetings and then finally when the characters can barely keep their clothes on anymore, we let them get naughty. Well as naughty as they can get while keeping their halo of nobility on. Also, this may be the first and last time we see the couple actually acknowledging that they want to have sex and are capable of acting like mortals with needs.
But sarcasm apart, I have yet to see a show where the protagonists have a regular healthy sex life. Or a couple who discuss intimacy issues, or address why they don't feel physically attracted to each other. We still treat sex as the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow instead of a perfectly normal act that we have been doing since we were apes. Quite ironical indeed.

This writer should have visited IF and some ATs of some of the jodis just to see how people fantasise about consummation and how they could fill pages about their fantasies for SR of their favourite couple😛

thats an awesome article👏👏👏!
the way Indian TV makes a big deal about SR is really gross IMO! and I think this article just comprehensively encloses what a lot of us have always felt about it..

and the problem is that the whole story starts revolving around it🤢, instead of focussing on what was the original intended plotline..

comparatively, Ansh and Jagan SRs were not publicised and promoted in a sleazy manner, so thats a good thing that BV had done

Exactly.

At least AnSh SR the delay was explained well without making a big deal out of it. I thought they dealt with emotional frigidity so well through Anandi. So it just didn't look odd.

JaGan SR happened without any delay😆

This article is a real eye opener about the thought process of the makers when it comes to consummation and physical relationship.

At least Anandi and Shiv post the consummation they didn't really show it like taht phase of life is over and done.

Liked the way they showed Anandi's journey as Shiv's wife from protesting citing work and family blah blah to finally surprising him with her boldness which matched her husband's
That drug track and Painter track showed how much she also wanted to be with her husband.
Writers did achieve the impossible - showing her as ideal bahu as well as a woman who wanted nothing more than just spending quality time with her husband and that too at 8PM slot which is meant for family audiences

Ajay Devgun may be good but don't know if he was able to bring in what Mohanlal brought to the role.
It was remade in Telugu with Venkatesh.I haven't seen it but his performance got rave reviews and did well too.

I read the story on wiki damn😆 dont know whether want to watch it or not..coz clearly its a smartly executed pyschological thriller and big time relies on performances..and yeah even with tabu and ajay..not getting the feels😕 which is wierd coz I like both of them in intense roles..but something is badly amiss here
