We just cannot generalize & totally discard that all Indian serials are unreal& useless. We do have & have had some good & sesible serials. Most of KB's serials are different & nice with some social msg. The current Tamil serial 'Enge Brahmanan' is also good but how many will like this philosophical theme & watch is a big Q .We have had some good Hindi serials too like Hum Log, Buniyaad [Family dramas] , Fauji [ story of an army officer.SRK shot to fame thru this serial] ,Yeh Jo Hai Jindagi , Nukkad [comedies] to name few.
ur right srima..a few yrs back we had serials like marma desam(directed by naga)
which was a thriller..even KB serials were different.. they didnt crossed more than 80-90 episodes
but today serials run for minimum 2-3 yrs...
secondly there are so many sub plots and new char are being introduced freq tat the story just deviates from
the main plot....
kalyanam started of well....but am losing intrest...
