The leap of five has not made those ladies grand mothers with daughter-in-laws to sudharo and etc. It is more like their lives after five years, (whatever I know after reading online, *I more into reading serials than watching them 😆😆😆) Haan it's not a 20 year leap like Kekta's shows with grown kids and all...but one of the characters...Eva Longoria's is now a Mom of three kids and is out of shape....one of the other women's kids are teenagers etc. etc....so yeah, it is a big change from before when the women were busy with other activities....what works in their favor is that these women COULD pass for mothers of teenagers etc....cuz some of them are in their 40s....most K-heroines are barely in their 20s when she turns them into mother in laws😕😕😆....Kekta's shows take many five year leaps as well waise.....so it's not always the big jump with grandmothers and d-i-l's😆....I was just intrigued cuz this whole 'leap' process is usually a K-show type of thinking.

Anyways, what I think is, the season can also bring in more creativity, and in the three months break, creatives can go back to the brainstorming for fresh ideas. But, we still do not have good enough concept of script writers/story line in India whether it be movies or serials. I think that we DO have concepts...but not many takers of those concepts as ppl would prefer to stay stuck in a rut and keep doing the 'safe' thing to make money....I don't think Hollywood is perfect that way either....in my honest opinion....none of the recent movies or shows on TV there also are that 'innovative' anymore....their movies especially seem to become more and more masalified formula fare these days😕

the audience is so used to instant glamor/glitz/gratification these days that simple storylines without over the top stuff don't work and they invariably turn into saas-bahu-vamp nonsense fares to click with the majority audience.

Good looks sells, and this is the only concept that is working in most of the serials, and we are to be blamed too. There was this soap on Sony, Yeah Meri Life Hai -- something similar-- it started on the concept of girl wanting to become a director, and when the story ended, the protagonist was a bahu rani and nothing more.

I think any story has to deal with relationships at different levels....the common factors that you mentioned are there in everyone's lives in some form or the other....so whatever be the concept....setting a storyline in a pre-independece era, in a hospital, in a military environment, in a business environment or even the regular saas-bahu stories......Relationships are the basis of everything.....THEY are what ultimately matter.....the problems come in when the creators of a storyline lose sight of what their background/basis is that makes I agree to it completely.

THEIR particular story 'different'....cuz the differences are only in the backdrops and circumstances....the basic dynamics are the same across the board....so when they lose sight of that, then everything goes down the drain and nothing is left but a shell of a once brilliant idea now run over with saas-bahu plotting. Completely agree to it.

Yep, most shows SHOULD end within a year....but the problem is that since they all want to keep that option of going on for a long time open....they start to ruin their storyline in a few months only....thus not even leaving any chance for the show to stay decent for even a year!!

Trying hard to keep the forum alive... 😆😆😆. K KEKTA Ke Mahabharat flopped, 😲 what a surprise, all those hunks did not save the show.

Did the episode show something positive, or it was the same downhill ride?
