A letter to Babbal Sir - Page 3

In this connection, have to mention a Malayalam movie "How Old Are You" which had a very strong message about (believe it or not 😉) organic farming - but it was relatively well-embedded though filmy style, in the story of the protagonist and her journey from doormat-hood to self-esteem. I believe the movie was a hit and is now being remade in Tamil/Hindi?? Messages are all well in moderation, and when woven into the story.

I too feel that Babbal ji has given up on the story and is now just killing time till the scheduled time is over.

Sad, that a story which started with so much richness has become so bland.

Arshi, I saw an interview of AB and GR, wherein Babbalji is talking about how 'agla season aur bhi achcha karenge etc..

Little bit of what he said :

"safar bahut achcha raha, lekin thoda teda tha. Mushkil scenes, samanya scenes nahin hai etc..etc.. agla season aur achcha karne ka vishwas jaaga man main"

Not just Malayalam or in Southern cinema, but even on TV. I currently watch 2 comedy shows: Badi Door Se Aaye Hain on Sab TV and Tedi Medi Family on BIG Magic (a remake of The Middle). Both are comedy shows, they're supposed to make you laugh, yet in each track they have this message woven in and sometimes it's so well woven in that you don't actually understand until the characters understand. I still remember there was this track on BDSAH about the janev function and in that they wove this beautiful message that relations are not made by blood, but by heart. And it wasn't until the end that you realized it. Tedi Medi Family just launched on Monday, but already in 3 episodes they've shown these small things that make such a big difference.

I wouldn't have minded a message on Mahakumbh about keeping Ganga clean as well if it had been woven well. Since the beginning all they did was show Rao and Tiwari on this Mission Ganga. They never explained it, never detailed it, weren't too careful to keep it as part of the script. It would come up here and there. And then suddenly we have a whole week on the Ganga. Say what?!!

I am disappointed too. But have learnt not to expect anything because I don't want to torture myself later.
Such shows are good as long as they don't get down to preaching fore few epi, which seems inserted purposely. We like to to R & D for some interesting aspects, want to use our brain. That makes the show interesting. Forced spoon feeding doesn't work well.
Season 2, not excited.
I only hope from next week they go back to the main story. Atleast give 2 epi each to guards of 7 doors.

Thank God Arshics that I only watched the Fri summary epi. I guess whatever I need to understand, I understood from that epi. From your post it is very clear that it was all dragging, preaching about water and would have been damn boring if I had watched epi. Am putting a separate post on my analysis based on fri epi.
