What happens when 'timeless' daily soaps on Indian television can't stretch their elastic-like plots anymore? Thanks to some done-to-death 'winning' formulae that have worked wonders for years now, the makers of the stretching sagas don't have to stress their grey matter too much. The story of rebirth is one such ready-at-hand solution that has saved many daily soaps from dying timely deaths. Then there is the twist of memory loss-with this excuse it is easy to trespass the boundary of credibility and thus let the story change its direction. Last but not the least is a sudden leap in the ages of the characters.

Memory loss
In the early days of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Mihir Virani (then played by Amar Upadhyay) was shown losing his yaddasht after an accident.

Currently, a host of shows like Kayamath, Meri Doli Teri Aangna, Saat Phere and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii are reaping the benefits of this useful dramatic technique. Saloni (Rajashree Thakur) and Om (Kiran Karmakar) of Saat and Kahaani, however, have just recovered their memories; the audience was reminded of the Sridevi-starrer Sadma as Saloni's old lover Nahar (Sharad Kelkar) helped her remember her past. In Meri Doli, the memory loss of protagonist Ruhaan has served as an opportunity to introduce new characters

If they use this PA track for anything more than strtching the serial, like makew change the direction of the story, they would have lost a host of viewers. Morover, KGGK and Kyunki adopted this tactic only after the serials were running for a fairly long time and people were bored with them. KYM on the other hand was just hotting up with the Michi Jodi. So there was no need to bring this unwelcome intrusion.

thanks !! a bunch for the article.

thanx for the article nina...the PA track has been disasterous for kayamath!
