Does today's India NEED these regressive/sadistic tracks? - Page 3

Being an Indian I am hating this track... I wonder what makes Shivay a 'hero'? He is a thorough hypocrite who looks down upon every human being unless he/she is rich... He is not willing to learn, and thinks he can do anything to the poor... he is a AH!

Its definitely the audience who needs to change their thinking, rather then writers and TV channels, because PH and channel are in for money and they would gladly show whatever the audience loves and would bring in TRP.

I will give an an example of another which I'm watching, which about an Obese girl who because of some unfortunate circumstances get married to the most eligible guy in their town. Initially the TRP's was very low, because the girl despite being overweight was shown very confident of herself and had lots of emotional support from most of her family. But no sooner her marriage was fixed and she got married and started facing taunts and emotional abuse from her family and even her hubby the TRP's increased !!! This is the basic formula for successful and long running shows !! Unfortunately the target audience are the TRP aunties and most of them lead such miserable lives themselves that they can only relate to FL who are as miserable as them.

@bold- Yes, but as an American I can tell you, young college students here also live very difficult lives. Working to support themselves financially while studying, working multiple jobs etc. But they are open to watching shows where people live a different life from theirs because the writing is so creative and intelligent. Its like the Mcdonalds quote form Pakistani Actor Shehreyar Munawar that I used : this stuff pollutes peoples minds and they will not like how their thinking shapes up 20 years from now.

That's the thing, am not talking about you and me or college going students or even the people working for a living, mostly all the TRP aunties are housewives and their problems are usually marital or domestic.

We are independent because we work and earn our own living, so our hardships and struggles are different from those TRP aunties. They don't work and are dependent bother emotionally and financially on their hubby or in laws so when they see FL being emotional tortured they can relate, or when they see the FL fighting against all odds, they can relate. A TRP auntie cannot relate with a FL who had a mind of her her own and who wouldn't give a damn about what her hubby thinks and who actually have the guts to give back to him after whatever crap he throws her way. It is very sad and unfortunate and what's more shocking that its not just women who are uneducated, even very educated women under different circumstances fall prey to such situations that they tolerate the emotional and even physical abuse thrown at them.

I know what u r saying, it's not only about Indian TV but also about Indian movies...first of all we need to understand what is today's India??? the youths who live in urban cities don't only represent today's India...it all has people living in small cities and villages and backward sections of society, these people still have a backward mentality...they r not so intelligent to understand good plots with interesting characters...they want the same stereotyped plots with stereotyped characters...Ultimately it's their choice but these tracks give a very wrong message and believe it or not...movies and shows do effect our mentality...producers dont care about creativity...all that matters to them is TRP...its everything for them but I dont think so...otherwise a channel like sony wouldn't have existed ...i dont even want shivika marriage, they could have get married after confession but gul cant think beyond hate/contract marriage and bride swap.
