such a boring soap - Page 4

^ Exactly! I know of many middle-class young women in India who had 'love marriages' and thus, were married without the need of dowry. Even my friends who had 'arranged marriages' had them without dowry. Times are certainly changing and there's no way in heck this show is representative of any kind of majority.

And please, this show is no better than Ekta maiya's OTT crapfests....they fall in the same oppressive brand of TV with their cowering lead 'heriones' and excess of caricature-like villains. But at least Ekta hardly ever claimed to show 'reality' with her programs. It was always clear to her audience that her shows were so outrageously exaggerated and melodramatic that there's no way they can, or should be taken seriously. Her audience has always seen her brand of programming as escapist fantasy. However, when a show like 'Dor' claims realism, then that is exactly what viewers expect! Unfortunately, what has been depicted so far is so archaic and cartoonish in its development of characters, that it simply cannot be taken as realism. If this show was realistic at all, the supposedly independant and positive characters would not be depicted as being so idiotic, senseless and without foresight, and similarly, the 'bad' characters would be shown as more ambiguous in their morality.

There is no such thing as realism on desi TV.

Well I m not finding this show boring..Actully Maryada ,SGP & Dor only 3 shows of SP I liked so far..

Talking about the Characters...Well Characters are not that out the world ...There are people Like Avni's Sasooral I hv seen many families like this..Still In our society the marriage is big concern..Specially for the Girls..parents go ahead If the find a Guy well ..I find the Touch of that Real Grey ,Hypocrist ,Naive and Greedy People's Shadow on this show..

on Lead girl Part , I dont blame Avni for not speaking up atleast for now..Its just New marriage ..everything around her is New ..She will take time ,Understand things and than go ahead with her actions...You simply cant expect her start go loud and Hak ki Ladaai and all At very First week of marriage..

All and All I liked this show..I do Watch when ever I get time..Its Better than Simply Ridiculous and Crap shows Who are so called High TRPs shows..

Also we can't comment about a show which is hardly 6 months old........need to wait and watch how d story leads further..........

@april2007- characters lyk bhaskar's exit in real life,it's not a horiible character but a real life character.....infact family lk bhaskar r vryyy common in india even in present times.....d show is about how a woman lyk avni deals with such evil inlaws and such kind of husband......:)

Trust me ! I found this serial much better than those ekta kapoor's serials, which never end and has clumsy and unbelievable story.

So many rebirths, come-backs, plastic surgeries, ideal Hindustani Bahu's saga, endless woes, etc etc.

This shows you the realities. No unnecessary love stories, drama and 'rona dhona'!
