Everyone who is anyone has heard about the Golden Kela awards that celebrates the bad (read illogical in a funny way) side of Bollywood. Deebashree Mohantytells you that the Bawra Ho Gaya Hai Ke Award can be handed over to the creative writers of most TV serials for the utter rubbish they dole out in the name of drama

Simar-Roli ke Dus Avatar

Or are there more? You have seen Simar " the dancer, Simar " the hapless bahu, Simar in maa Kali avatar (when some villain was about to harm her child) and only recently Simar the blonde with as fake an accent as it can get. The only person who can put her to shame is her on screen sister Roli who has been a nautanki wali, business typhoon and sexy seductress all rolled into one. But alas! the TVR has not moved an inch from 1.8! The lowest in Colors by far.

Reactions? "It's repulsive and no longer funny. The moment I saw the sisters in their blonde avatar, I was like hain! They are up to some nonsense, again. Quickly change the channel to something more sane. I can't understand if the writers have lost control of the script, why are they hanging on to the show and making a fool out of these stars? Those poor girls can get themselves a decent script without being laughed at," Meenakshi Singh, who is glued to her TV from 7 pm onwards tells you.

And there is no good news coming for viewers of the show. According to a source, the serial is all set to take a teeny weeny leap of two years sans Simar who will suddenly die. Or wait, she is alive but as a bahu in some other family. Confused? Keep not-watching Sasural Simar Ka for some respite.

Of late viewers have been hunting for sensible' drama at the 7 pm slot. Sadly, their only other choice isEk Mutthi Aasman, featuring auntyji Shilpa Shirodkar, which also, incidently borders on insanity.

Ek Mutthi-full of nonsense

Rich, drunk on money and power business tycoon falls for ek jhuggi jhopdi wali. Actually she is the daughter of his nanny. But another girl (she is also rich and spoilt but in a different way) also falls for this young man. Day of marriage is marred with umpteen confusions and useless dragging (seven days to show engagement and another week plus a maha episode to show the wedding) and the end result? Man marries wrong girl because he needs to take revenge first. The lover can wait till agenda No 1 is done with.

In the middle, phaas gayee bechari aunty. She shuttles from one daughter (real) to another (who she considers as her daughter) and from one house to another in search of some answers. Arre, if you find any, do let the viewers know!

It's not just the 7 pm slot that is full of bakwas, there are others which are equally puzzling.

Uttaran: it's still running!

The heart goes out to people who are still watching this show which at one time was the main TVR rider for Colors. Now, it is more of a filler serial in between two top shows on the same channel. As if Iccha and Tapasya and their constant bickering was not enough to drive their fans far far away, the makers tried leaps and bounds to rekindle the Uttaran magic.

So, the new generation was supposed to breathe in fresh air to this stagnating show. But 20 episodes post leap we have Iccha and Tapasya back in the same frame, again! An accident, a wheelchair, a evil vamp, a few marriages could still not turn things for this show. If you think Uttaran is the classic case of things gone horribly wrong for the producers, Sony TV's flagship Bade Ache Lagte Hain suffered the same fate.

Bade ache Lagte thhe

With a TVR as plump as the male lead in the beginning week, Ekta Kapoor thought she had hit jackpot yet again. After all she had spent Rs 1 crore just for promoting this middle age love saga. And a lot of it was riding on Ram Kapoor and his plethora of experience. Maybe Ekta was hoping to recreate Jai Walia in another platform.

But wasn't that Ram Kapoor some 20kg slimmer, sharper and responsive, Ektaji? So, viewers ko no ullu banouying with leaps that are meaningless, tracks which are self contradictory and a programming schedule that is awry. If the romance vanished into thin air in BALH, suspense got thrown out of the window in Main Naa Bhoolongi in a matter of 250 episodes.

Viewers nahin bhoolengey

How the producers have taken them for a ride in the name of suspense and revenge drama. Now it is at best a fashionable show with the ladies marching with designer sarees. According to one of the actors, they are asked to change their costumes and jewellery twice for the same scene. Ouch!

In this heroinepanti, CVs seem to have lost the very plot. We wonder if Shikha nee Samaira herself remembers what she is after? Rewind last week's episode to know how the central focus of the show is wrapped in the women's pallu and doesn't appear to move an inch.
