My frustrations as an Autisic English White man watching Imlie and other stuff related on the same set of channels yes, there is non Indian viewers.
1) It sometimes winds me up when it's one of those episodes with 2 written plot scenarios by the people themselves spoilered over places like Google News but it ends up being neither making the plot a confusing mystery. Eg. Malini's first suicide looked like death certain but she survived and the most current one Aditya is hating Imlie, no Aditya is going to be hating Malini instead, actually no it's not going to be any gate just frustration but the love still there for Imlie but still the same as recently feelings for Malini.
2) Cut n Dry written as a U certificate version in the Sky Channel see in EPG level censorship on 22:30 of first and second 3am repeat late night run Imlie a U version is only ok for airing in afternoon.
3) Hack n Slash censorship of the showing on EastEnders late afternoon stupid things like being buried below in Phil Mitchael's garage or pub brawls and sarcasm moments and car hits and fires and slight bleeding.
4) CGI censorship eg. Blood puddles turned into clear rain ones.
5) OST censorship not being the music from the show more a TV Greatest Hits or Wrestlings Greatest Hits version on the few tracks the artist released fake, fake, fake, frustrated as I like the real music Grrr.
6) Bad rushed out subtitles of my language especially on Yei Hei Charlatan which that is even spelt wrong to Chahatein which means Wanted Criminals or Wanted Each Other or just You Are Wanted in the 2 show themes but Charlatan is the correct spelling of that word which translates into Wanted as even in English itself it's an alternative word for Wanted as well and on the cast member who can't speak Hindi well on it so probably bad on the Hindi too and stuff like Oh No being said when they didn't say that in my English when they were talking in my English and these subtitles are put on my uncensored version as well as the censored one.
7) Utsav has a channel which is all Imlie style arsenic in the curry action shows now and people dare watch anything on it and wait for the 4 days later uncensored versions of Mann Ki and Laddli Main on the Sky Utsav Hotstar Catchup which covered important demestic violence and Mute Autisic treatment in India themes and they didn't get their uncensored only views counted only the censored TV network ones and they got thrown off of the air in return along with Shaddi Mubarak on Plus after they got violence in the creepy kidnapper episode good shows that never got their chance due to people knowing the themes of that Channel watching other legal means didn't get on the viewing counts but it still all leads to what is happening in Imlie world right now but Imlie still seems to be a rare hit for a censored as well as uncensored that's why it survived.
8) The casts art is being ruined by a censored heavy to U version when it airs on PG, 12, 15, 18 times every airing it must bother them which frustrates me.
9) Censored Lite which Saaith has to do in house because it's genre is family drama PG show is true PG on the Sky Catchup Utsav Hotstar one it still shows the actual violent scene uncensored with a black and white blood and shows the pranks fully uncensored though the Imlie only afternoon showing should make a version this way PG not U including airing this PG show in PG which they cut out more than the in house because they U Saaith as well whilst both nightly Imlie should be fully uncut as the demand version.
10) Utsav has a Satellite providers clause which blocks Disney from blocking them having linier Satellite channels round the world and they used to have a Star One to show English programming with Disney + nicking all the Fox and Disney networks and also having Star Global formerly Fox FX we need them to reopen their English entertainment offering more than ever as their clause could give us a good selection back that we lost although less than what we had before and they haven't so that's frustrating as well and as an English channel would be English rules the watershed would be uncensored meaning they could do the rare violence excessive Indian with English subtitles show on there as well. I'm speaking Imlie uncut airing in normally Fox and Star Global content night times. This uncensored Star India slot on Star One could also be a preview to introduce even more of us English watchers to watch the Hindi offerings but it would mainly be a way to get the best English programming back on Sky as well as a way to show Indian stuff with English watershed rules. We need it. We shouldn't have to wait 4 years to watch a Disney or Fox movie on your large screen TV on BBC One of Film 4 after the deal with Sky Cinema fell through as well so as well as Star One we need a partnership deal of a Sky Cinema Star showing Star India Movies, Disney Movies, Star Global Movies, Fox Movies using the Star non Disney name branding clause which allows them to still open channels. Original Disney, Fox, Star TV Movies can be all shown on the Star One and Plus weekends like now but that offering is your proper blockbusters plus on demand versions of those too maybe.
11) The uncensored Sky Catch Up Utsav Hotstar offering only has 7 currently airing new shows on it 8 if you count the last few days of validation time of the discontinued Mann Ki when there is many more starting and again 2am for Imlie and 4 days late for a different show with brutality left in tact and again people only watching on this due to channels or shows they know will be guaranteed censored the viewing numbers do not count a few thousand to only 1 million viewers for Mann Ki I'm sure it got more on here as well as Website Hotstar for £5 or whatever it is. I want all my shows I'm still waiting for Nazron which is being censored too much to hit it and the new Mummy show should be on there too and they should be uploaded like normal TV Same time, same hour, same minute, same second as on the channel I should not have to wait 4 days for a proper Hotstar Hindi warnings text before uncensored scene warnings with English Subs upload version on Sky which is the Imlie version I really want to watch daily not the stuff I have been watching.
Most of my frustrations with Imlie and all the other programming I watch on this set of channels is politics of the network and rebelling against all of it related. I'm becoming like the Sakkrekram of Star censorship on this forum with my ramblings about being anti it other than the afternoon showing which should only be to Saaith PG Censored Lite standards not a U showing it but maybe black and white for excessive but the late night which is 2 out of 3 Imlie repeats should both be a 12, 15, 18 not a U certificate butchering in my opinion and even the butchered should only be PG still showing it uncensored black and white like Saaith Family Drama on Hotstar PG style.
12) There are just too many veriants of Imlie airing in the UK.
Sky Go+Q on a TV Channel with various censorship levels to a U certificate.
Sky + HD and Q Utsav Hotstar Catch-up on only 7 select shows 4 days later than TV uncensored including Imlie.
The Imlie Sunday Special a weekly TV movie version of the week. There was only ever one episode I consider a real Sunday special Saaith 2 where an actual new 1 hour special episode aired as a Sunday special with Sagar hiding the file under the sand and hurting his leg but Dev in the Jungle may have shown more than the regular TV one like the Sky Hotstar can't remember.
