What is so bold about Maryada?

Since the articles and promo's have been harping about Maryada being 'A Bold Family Drama', I was wondering what exactly are they going to show in the serial that Indian Television hasn't seen before? 😆

Nice topic Poppy!

I honestly cannot speculate at this point as to WHY this show is supposed to be bold, but I don't think we've gotten into the "bold" aspect of the show yet. Like you said, we've been shown almost every known immorality on PT television in the name of "family dramas" so I cannot even begin to imagine what else they could possibly show. But I'm going to wait and watch nonetheless..😆

Compared to what is being shown currently on Tv, i don't think any plausible story line can be termed bold ......

One show that comes to mind is NAIDL, which has moved beyond bold to just plain crass and vulgar and derogatory to women .......... No matter how active your imagination, the show always manages to surpass your expectations with its depravity

I think Starplus is sort of playing safe ..... There prime time shows are all shakkar-jaise-meethe types .... bidaaii, YRKKH, Sathiya etc etc ..... its oly after 10.30 that they move onto something else starting with pratigya ..... i guess it got the 11.30 slot because there is actually no other time slot available ....

Oh! Also...I do wish the creatives won't show us more of Jaggi and Imli Romance! 😆 Not nice at all! That is certainly not the 'Bold' I wish to see in the serial! I totally gagged on their bedroom scene...it was both hilarious and embarassing! 😆

@Bips, I don't watch Pratigya regularly, but whatever little I have seen of it, had some truly cringe worthy moments! The dialouges could make a fisherwoman blush! 😲 What is NAIDL?

@Fivr and Sam, I think the 'bold' part of Maryada is the 'seriousness' with which they are planning to deal with topics like Rape, sexual abuse, Homosexuality, marital violence ect! As I mentioned before, loads of shows have showcased all this before (what could be more shocking than the sati savitri heroine of a prime-time show falling in love with one, marrying another and getting impregnated by the third, without ever falling from grace? 😕) but they have done all that in a very exaggerated, filmy way, more to raise the TRP's than to address any possible social evils!

Hopefully, Maryada will answer these apparently unspoken issues in a mature, sensible and sensitive manner!

PS : Just for information, DJ's first show, Banegi Apni Baat showed the issue of a young girl dealing with the aftermath of physical abuse / a woman giving birth to a child outside of wedlock and raising it all alone / an extra-marital affair sans any guilt and much more! And all this more than 15 years ago on television!
