Yesterday i was going through channels and suddenly stopped at star world REVENGE was being telecasted. my mom was sitting with me and i told her EHT is inspired from this american series, and showing her whose playing who in hindi version.. after 5 minutes she asked me to change the channel as it was boring for her..😆

then comes SNS high TRP serial, gosh my mom will be so hooked to that serial.

so i guess its the way they present the serial, bgm sounds, sound effects, dhoom thana dhoom thana for 5 minutes then camera on each member's faces to show their reaction😆

i think these things attract indian audience... wats say😳

Something I found on the net...all the typical Nonsense shown on desi serials. 😆😆

http://mindfed.com/27-ways-indian-saas-bahu-serials-defy-logic/

Using Indian TV soaps' and logic' in the same sentence is stupid. Twitter is buzzing with the #DailySoapLogic hashtag since yesterday and we have picked out some of the funniest tweets for you!

1. LET THE WHOLE 5:43 MINS OF SOUNDTRACK GET COMPLETED.

All in slow motion. Default choice of album: Aashiqui 2.

2. LIFE HAS ITS UPS AND DOWNS, A HELL LOT MORE IN INDIAN DAILY SOAPS

3. JUST GET UNBREAKABLE PHOTO FRAMES. PERIOD.

Also, don't let the diyas die!

4. THE MEN RUN MULTI-CRORE BUSINESSES, BUT ONLY GO OUT FOR THE BOARD MEETINGS

But the wicked females are busy plotting to send the aadarsh bahus to jail (where they will live with all theie makeup), no exception.

5. SON, YOU'RE ADOPTED.

And when the big revelation is made, 57 cameras from all possible angles will show the reaction at least 13 times

6. WHO NEEDS OLAY TOTAL EFFECTS, WHEN YOU CAN JUST REMOVE THOSE SPECS

7. THE BLING IS JUST ESSENTIAL.

8. THEY'RE PLAYING WITH THE GOD MODE ON

9. I'M JUST JEALOUS OF THE PERFECT LIFE THAT THEY HAVE..

10. WHY U NO DIE?

11. THE AUDIENCE CAN'T SPOT THE DIFFERENCE AFTER ALL

12. EVEN DIWALI FIREWORKS CAN'T BEAT THE BLING THAT INDIAN SAAS-BAHUS CARRY

13. IT TAKES MULTIPLE EPISODES TO INTRODUCE A NEW CHARACTER

Sometimes we see those shoes on Friday as "Agle Hafte Dekhiye", and see the actual shoe scene on Monday. If we're lucky though, the face is revealed before Wednesday.

14. WHO NEEDS YOKO HEIGHT INCREASER WHEN YOU CAN GROW TALLER WITH JUST A PLASTIC SURGERY?

15. LOOK, THEY'VE FOUND THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH!

16. SOMETIMES IT'S THE KUNDLI MATCH THAT FAILS..

..and other times it's an old family feud that they knew nothing about.

17. THE RANSOM AMOUNTS ARE JUST POCKET CHANGE FOR THE BAHUS OF SINGHANIAS AND OBEROIS

18. A'B PLAYBACK IN LOOP, AT LEAST THRICE IS A MUST

19. DAY 1: MALE PROTAGONIST GOES TO JAIL. DAY 2: THE FAMILY IS LIVING ON THE FOOTPATH. WTH?

Gotta keep up appearances, right? (Ever heard of savings, investments and mutual funds?)

20. GOD COMMUNICATES IN A VERY PREDICTABLE WAY

No flower dropped before an important meeting? It will most definitely go bad. Ohh..the pooja thali fell (in slow motion)? Accident pakka.

21. IT'S EASY TO SPOT THE EVIL WOMEN.

Extra points of evilness for weirder bindis like this one:

Image source: startv.in

22. SO IT'S NOT JUST THE BINDIS!!

23. THE IRONY IN THEIR NAMES

24. THIS ONE'S FOR THE CID FANS

And how can Daya break every door? No matter how big or strong it is.

25. KYUNKI HRD MINISTER BHI KABHI DAILY SOAP ACTRESS THI

26. HOW CAN WE FORGET THOSE EPIC BACKGROUND SCORES

Stretching a 5-episode worth of story to 1000s of episodes won't be possible otherwise.

27. VOLDEMORT IS LOOKING AT ALL THE WRONG PLACES

Perhaps he should try that Tulsi tree in the verandah?

This happened with me when I used to watch Dexter. My parents always told me to change the channel as it was boring. Always asked me why I was watching it.

They can watch CID but do not like me watching Criminal Minds. As it is boring!

I think audience is dumbed down and does not want to use mind anymore. They just want same old repetitive stuff. With gaudy clothes, loud BGM. And issue made over amount of salt in food.

I know people who enjoyed drama in BV but said boring when they gave a message.

People watch Maharana Pratap but start saying "OMG" if battles are shown. Hello! History hai toh battle toh hoga!

I sometimes remind them that they used to watch shows like Junoon with family. They say yeah yeah and shrug off to watch same old TMKOC.

Even success of movies show people like mostly tom foolery. Dhoom 3 had no story yet it broke records. Films are getting sillier.

I think it is collective dumbing down of society at play.

yeah and the thing that I wonder that how most of the heroes are the boss of the entire company.
huh! They are not just a doctor or a normal employee no they have to be the almighty owner of the million dollar company like how easy it is.
how easy it is to be rich they did not have to earn it like it was god given.

I can understand that there are many after a long hard day want to see Serials that NUMB their minds rather than make them think.

BUT I fail to understand that the P H's assume that the WHOLE WORLD wants the same thing.

Expecting LOGIC from Soap Opera's is an Oxymoron. By definition it is a Soap and these exaggerated twist and situations are to be expected.

That said there is an audience out there that needs the other kind of stimulation to keep them entertained.

When I am watching Indian Serials my daughters just shake their heads and go watch

shows that keeps them happy.

I watch Dexter and Criminal Minds and many other comedies with my family but I can never make them watch Indian Serial because they just start making fun of the same things that has been on Twitter.

All I want is some Producers to know that there are many different caliber of audiences and to bring something that would appeal to a varied taste among them.

Is that asking too much ??
