Dear Ekta Mai,
I know that you have made millions out of your several serials that has 'changed the face of Indian Television.' However, over the years, you have also succeeded in effortless turning your viewers heads so much that they no longer can lead normal lives!
Take your serial Kasam se for example. A wonderful idea, some truly great actors..no I would call them artists. This serial has great potential. Sadly, your Uncreative headless team has slowly but surely twisted things so out of shape that they are now 'creating' horrifying nightmares.
Re Wednesday-Thursday episodes, ......sorry bloopers. How did you ever pass these two? Maybe all of you were napping or perhaps dancing away to glory at the Andheri Sports Complex. I don't know. But what I want to know is this:
Why are you making a mockery of the skills of some of the best actors in the country?
Why can't you find a suitable replacement for Sandeep Sicand? (BTW, it's ironic and interesting that your now-c****y show KYPH is being replaced by his new serial Kaajal).
Which brings me to my main point....if a creative mind is so hard to find, just log in here on I-F and see how many creative people we have.
Do take this piece of well meant advice and you'll see your kitty turning cartwheels.
Also, it's time that your poor, hapless audience has a say in what you dish out....so please let us take over.
That way, we'll at least make your story plausible and intelligible.
Case in point..we won't ignore the fact that someone tried to kill Jai the other day. We would actually have Jai going to the police station to lodge an FIR (ever heard of one of those things?). We'd actually have the police investigating the matter, going to the hospital, study the tragectory of the bullet, follow it's path and actually find the place where the snipper was hidden. We'd do a forensic study of the place and find out that there was a struggle there etc.
But what we won't do is act as if the whole episode hadn't occured, that this does not make the news (while Jai-Bani's divorce does), that people on Tv will automatically assume that Bani is dead and call her by her maiden name even before the divorce is through.
We won't come up with some corny angle for the PR raaz all of a sudden so that Bani can now woo Jai back. We won't keep the tell all potli in a place where it could have been seen by anyone (after all Bani must have cleared that cupboard a 100 times considering the no: of times she's left the house and returned.) In fact, we would have revealed this the day Pushkar gave it to her after it was found when the house was brought down. That time you chose to make Bani cry (once again) after finding her mom's pix in there.
I can't help but feel sorry for you and your crew for such unforgiveable lack of imagination and production skills.
So, in order to save you further embarrassment and loss of money (when ppl would stop watching ALL your shows), please let one of us (in turns if you like) write and direct at least Kasam se. And you don't even have to pays us fot it.
Consider it charity for a deserving cause.
Thank You,
Yours sincerely,
