@ TM nice post. I agree on most of your points. And you are right if we truly look around we will find many RK s around us. In fact I can honestly say that I know a couple myself. But speaking as a viewer its precisely because its fiction and fantasy why most of us love it. I love RK as a character but in real life would I want a man like that -NO is the answer.
Nobody WANTS a man like that. The point is that girls end up with men like this before they realise it.
In real life I think most of us have enough common sense to realise that a bad seed remains a bad seed- they never change.
I disagree, just consider. What if the influence on you regarding romance, what is sexy, the total blurring of lines between what is manly, masculine, etc and control, jealously, lack of respect, boundries is EVERY DAY in the likes of soaps like this one, and IPKKND? And everyday they show, the girl putting up with it, still loving the guy, the guy changing and it all ends happy.
Do you really think that girls coming across a funny, charming, v intelligent, whom they find sexy, handsome, a guy who gives them attention initially, is good to them and then once she is in too deep, shows his true colours and everytime she considers leaving, he "shows remorse, redemption" and then back to his old ways, is not going to be sub consciously influenced by what she has watched EVERYDAY for months and years???!!
Bear in mind that IPKKND was the first and more and more soaps will jump on the bandwagon. of the "dark hero" And there is nothing wrong with showing dark heros. WHAT IS WRONG IS IF THEY SHOW THE USUAL HAPPY ENDINGS.
But the desire to see such a man being converted to goodness, and reforming himself is something that most of us would love to see. And we are well aware that it will happen only in fiction.
Plenty of girls/women already think it will happen in real life, unfortunately. Esp Indian women. Its one of the many reasons Indian females are some of the worst treated in the world.
As human beings we see so much of unhappiness and misery around us, for some in their marriages or relationships that we would like to see something good happening even after strife - as in a show.
Oh I agree with you there!! But good happening can be shown without sending out the horrendous message that psychopaths change! There are SOOO many options and avenues open for this serial! The production house, channel and CVs have to be brave, and groundbreaking!
I am not sure if I am making my POV clear, You are!! 😊 but this is why I atleast watch this. I would have had no objection if the CV s had brought in a businessman or a dr and so on as a parallel lead for madhu. But a gangster is somehow not the right right choice. If we really want to see s a fiction show , we just want reality and give the right message wouldn t we want madhu to find a good guy. The question is raised that if Dawood ( cant remember other names😕) or some other mafia guy came upto us and treated us like queens would we go happily with them just because they are nice😲. I guess when it is a fiction show , its just something meant for temporary enjoyment. And somehow as human beings we would all like to believe that people can change for the better 😊
The argument is endless and I dont mean to offend anyone. Liked your post and thought I would pen down my thoughts too 😊
Like I said there are so many options available. CVs don't have to follow the formula that just coz the jodi started with Vivian and Dhrashti, it has to end that way as them as the lead pair. My concern is that our temporary enjoyment has influence on us esp when its everyday and esp when its young naive girls.
On a final note, in real life gangsters are more likely to change their ways. 😲 Pyschopaths are incurable.😕 However like I said in my original post, I don't mind who Madhu ends up with so long as it isn't psychopath RK.
