Ishq SubhanAllah is far better than other regressive shows, socially dsdt. At least the lead actress is ting enough to question the wrong practice of instant triple talaq. It is a sensitive yet beave issue, such as polygamy, indanticide, dowry, Khap panchayat, honour killings, etc. All these topics have been addressed on tv and films and they must. There have been series like Balika Vadhu, which addressed and successfully portrayed the ill effects of child marriages, still happening in rural India. Movies like Nikah also showed instant triple talaq as a curse for women, so I feel touching a sensitive topic shouldn't be a no go zone. Infact in real life due to women like Zara(lead in Ishq SubhanAllah) and many other victims of triple talaq, Supreme Court abolished the biased and outdated practice. I think these women are no less then warriors, as they fought their own communities.And it's a step towards progressiveness.
On the other hand dil se dil tak is a step backward. Hindu women were lucky to have polygamy abolished in 1950s, thanks to the progressive minds of those times. Even that time orthodox Hindus questioned this, but with time we all realised the importance of equality of women. But dsdt is like tearing all the apart in the name of disgusting entertainment. That's what make it a blot on womenhood.
I cannot connect with that subhanallah show because lot of melodrama. It's just too much. And then Quraan mein yeh likha hain, Quraan mein woh likha hain. How do we know Quraan me kya likha hain? They want us to read entire Quraan before watching the show? They should stop giving religious angle everytime.
Even shorvari was strong when this show started. She created scene in front of family when she caught Teni and Parth together. It's matter of time and number of episodes. With time they all become doormat. Zaara's all empowerment claims fall flat the moment she agreed to marry against her wish with a man who very much believe in triple talaq. Just wait for 200 episodes. On top of that she's putting condition that there shouldn't be triple talaq in her marriage. Why do you need to put condition when law has already banned it? It's like Hindu woman putting condition my husband won't bring another bride in my presence.
There was a show Hina which dealt with this triple talaq sensibly because it was a finite series. When they start a show with 'no expiry date' clause and dream about 1000 episode. There won't be any story to narrate and then start the infamous drag.
Look at Balika Vadhu itself. I believe Balika Vadhu was more about female lead glorification. Even jagya was victim of child marriage, but they made him villain. Chalo woh bhi thik hain. But the female lead was like forever obsessed with her first sasural. Best part was, when her husband died, she just packed her bag and settled at her ex's place with kid. Most entertaining part was shiv's kid was raised by jagya. 😆 Message just get lost once they are on mission drag.
IMO, television or film can never change anything. It's just for entertainment purpose. If people started taking message for films or serial, they would never go for surrogacy thinking that surrogate would ruin their home. But that's not the case. If show has an influence, people would start believing that bigamy is alright if we give them title dilchasp bigamy. At the end of the day it's all about entertainment and what you choose to entertain yourself. I don't have stamina to sit and tolerate drama of trp topper show. I want something less dramatic and decent story. But there are people watching all show which are regressive in my opinion, that's why they are top on trp chart. It's just matter of choice.
For a change, you just need willingness to change. You don't need a show to tell you bigamy is wrong, there's a law ordering you bigamy is a crime. You don't need a show to tell you triple talaq shouldn't be there, there's a law which has declared it as a punishable act.
Baaki I agree that it was an innovative move when they banned bigamy. Of course there will be protest, but with time they all will accept. There was protest when triple talaq was banned , but everything got settled with time. They should have made 'No bigamy' law for all Indians as India is a secular country, rules should be same for everyone. They should have included Muslims in 'no bigamy' clause as well.
