Serials move from city to village
Sonali Joshi/Hill Road Media

Gone are the days on TV when we watched business families doing unbelievably well in their huge bungalows with their lavish cars, wearing expensive clothes and heavy jewellery. More recently, the big havelis and jewellery has vanished and village life is taking center stage.

Balika Vadhu
was one of the first shows to start this trend. The serial revolves around Anandi, a mischievous girl, and her family who are living in a village in Rajasthan. The family struggles to fulfill their daily needs. Their house is made up of mud and Anandi plays on swings hung from trees; the whole look of the serial is pleasant and rural. Also shown are the desert areas of Rajasthan. The show deals with child marriage and the ill treatment of widows.
