These days all shows follow one trend, and promote wrong social messages. They are trying to be modern but imo they have regressed more, for example women are killing their own self respect just to win their love. Men are mostly being shown as two timers🤢
What happened to our good ole heroes who were in love with one woman only?!
Agree with you, Hinna. In a way, vintage tv programs are legendary because they have strong moral ideals and rich storylines.
Yes, the content of serials has changed significantly, becoming more regressive and destructive towards society standards.
If we peep in to the 1970s, many television centers were opened, but Doordarshan being the biggest one. Indian small screen programs started off in the early 1980s. Earlier,there was only one national channel, that was owned by the government – Doordarshan. It aired shows like--- Ramayana and Mahabharat based on the epics and were the first major television series produced and appreciated by all age groups. Other shows like Hum Log aired in 1984 dealt with Indian middle class families and their daily struggles and aspirations, Buniyaad (1986-87) which dealt with the partition of India in 1947 and its aftermath, Fauji (1989) followed the training of the Indian army commandos, and comedy shows like Yeh Jo Zindagi Hai, stories for children like Vikram Betal and Malgudi days.
We see a trend in the 80s shows as they deal with the issues like family, daily struggles of each and every individual, partition and its effects, motivation to the younger generation to join the army, message of patriotism and nationalism and also this was ‘the golden age’ of Indian television as it bound us together every evening: one family, one nation, one channel, one culture.
Unfortunately, there has been a significant decline in quality when comparing those shows to current serials. However, the technological advancement of today's serials is noteworthy and well admirable.
