sorry but i am neither of the above.
After a long time i am visiting IF & this forum. Reason total disillusionment with Hindi soaps.
Initially i hated indian soaps & especially hindi soaps tnx to Ekta maiyya. The serial which must not be named in IF was my 1st Hindi soap. My curiosity piqued i watched a few episodes of Geet on the net. Then a few episodes of Season 2 of the doomed show & finally a few of RR. Based on these experiences i again decided to veer clear off all Indian/Hindi soaps. My TV experience had come a full circle.
So why this boycott? Because i am completed disillusioned with the definition of romance in Indian TV. Based on all the above mentioned serials i ve listed out what constitutes as hot romance in hindi serials:
1. Hero must b tall & handsome, good physique.
2. Hero must b a caricature of the ANGRY YOUNG MAN (AYM) with a supposed past!!!!
3. Heroine must b the stereotypical stupid virgin teenager (SVT) whose IQ can rival a cuckoo & doesnt know anything birds & bees.
4. Sexual tension = manhandling + grabbing + shoving + pinning against the wall + catching + carrying the heroine
End result give the show a new name, new cast, new location but the plot is the same.
AYM hates girls -> stumbles across SVT -> fight -> manhandle -> AYM broods -> SVT bats eyelashes -> grab -> heaving chest -> unique BGM -> hate -> love -> hate -> love -> viewers die
Forget bt originality. There r so many classic love stories which can b easily adapted for Indian fans. Rebecca, Casablanca, It happened 1 night, Roman Holiday, Wuthering Heights, Pride & Prejudice...
The list goes on & on.
Prob is:
1. Channels scared to offend indian sensibilities by showing kiss, love making scenes.
2. Actors' reluctance to act in the above scenes
So its a sad impasse. Hence my argument simply ban these so called "ROMANTIC" serials & stick to only Kitchen politics. Discerning ppl can simply switch to movies or english serials to satiate their romantic desires!
Forum is open for discussion. Would love to hear all ur views on this!

Good analysis, you're not alone.
In my view most of the Indian serials, and as you pointed out are based on the history of a handsome man with a past, traumatized personality full of hatred, a nice traditional girl, beautiful, mission: hatched the bright side of the hero.
- I am a follower for romance but I think we need to innovate the Indian concept of romance. The mentality of young Much has changed. The mentality of young has changed, Confined women to the role of housewife spots becomes tiresome through repetition, I am a woman, I have a position of responsibility, a family, I'm the housewife spots, sometimes my whole family is involved in the task, I'm sure my case is not isolated, it is the contemporary version of the family.
- Then we must stop cry to scandal every time we have an intense and almost real time between the protagonists. Bypassing the languorous glances that last 3 minutes, waiting for something that will never happen. All respecting the limits, it is possible to renovate
It is for this reason that at the beginning of a Indian serials, I am captivated by history, as RR, after some episodes I let go even if I return to the burden still to watch episodes (vicious circle I know)
I don't denigrate, that is my point of view.
