So someone was watching this show Never Have I Ever on Netflix in front of my mom. Damn! Should have seen her reactions! 😆

As I said, we can’t simply ape the west. The shows should cater to Indian sensibilities.

Mind you my mom is pretty liberal compared to an average Indian mom. But there is only as.l much that they can accept. Like there was this scene where the girl proposes to have sex with a guy as if she was saying a Hi.

Okay, it took me really long to figure out what your first line even meant😆 until I understood that 'Never Have I Ever' was the name of a show🤣

Ape the West😲😲

There is a difference between APING and TAKING INSPIRATION😛

I agree, shows should cater to what Indians can adjust to but there is diversity in that also... Not only domestic violence and crying wives😵


Bold:

🤣🤣

Whoa. Those are way beyond the understanding of the average Indian. Will take a long time. I think we are taking baby steps in films and web.

Beyond the understanding of an average Indian How do you even define 'Average Indian' ??? 🤓🤪

Topics I stated which you highlighted:

LGBT: Ahaa, a taboo topic! A show on this will definitely enlighten people as to what many think of them is just blah

Racism: Same as above! People need to LEARN as to their thinking process is WRONG

Wars: not everyone is aware of the happenings in the past and present! TV should provide knowledge! (Maybe people might not look forward to watch violence though, understandable...)

Economic depression: Okay, I might have gone overboard on this one😆 but a learning topic...


I know TV is supposed to be entertaining but that doesn't mean they should telecast nonsense which will rot the sense in our heads


(Nothing's gonna change, no point of my rant😆 my time pass😉)

I doubt that it will be a hit😕

There was something called Baarish released released as well right?? As far as I can recall from the posts in the forum, it was a finite show... (Correct me if I am wrong)

Was it a success?? I have my doubts😛

Anyway, hoping what you've said will be true....


P.S.:

Off topic! I wanted to ask this from long... Your username is very intriguing😛 What's the inspiration behind this???

Coz it looks like a chemical compound's formula😛😎

The very fact that films like Shubh Mangal a yada Saavdhaan and Thappad are not doing well in the box office is testimony to your average Indian mindset. I keep hearing a lot of people deciding not to watch SMZS not because of its poor execution but because it has a gay couple. The same with Thappad.

Or you could:


~Go to settings

~Click on 'Profile'

~Scroll down to find 'Change Username'

~A window opens

~Change your username by typing it twice for confirmation in two fields- 'Username' and 'Confirm New Username'

~Click on 'Save'


Hopefully it will change... Again, not tried and tested steps!

General Entertainment Channels. Other categories include sports, Youth, devotional, news etc. GECs usually rake in the highest numbers
