Hi Guys..Sorry for this long post. Below (in blue) is an open letter (mail) to colors that I mailed today. I don't know how much of use is this for us or how much of sense does it make to the channel and production house. But, after yesterday's episode, I literally had to bombard somebody with all my frustration 😠and who else is better target than the PH themselves. 😡
Balika Vadhu - once the flagship show of colors and still a "flagship" show of colors as the channel claims it, is now a sinking ship.
For GOD's sake do the creatives even know what are they dishing out in the name of social messages and sensibilities??
Where in the world do you really see a bratty girl and sister of a gentleman getting hitched to her sis-in-law's once hopeless, now helpless ex-husband.
Just by showing some random moral message at the end of the show does not help redeem it's glory. And what kind of messages are these?? A school going kid can give better morals than these so-called "intellectuals" who are at the helm of, this once dream-boat called, Balika Vadhu.
What is the actual balika vadhu in the serial up to, apart from wide-opening her eyes filled with glycerin most of the time, with blank expressions on her face? Where is the once-famous sizzling chemistry of the TV's favourite couple Shiv-Anandi? What's with not 1, not 2 but 3 marriages to the doctor-dude? Where is Gauri? How could you end such a powerful character abruptly? What happened to one of the most sensible characters that we had seen - Sumitra? Where is Dadisa's autocracy and control, over her arrogant and as-bratty-as-Sanchi daughter in law Sumitra? Only Bhairon seems sane minded of all the lot, but he is only given some helpless expressions to portray on the screen. Shekhar parivaar only knows the samosa eating and chai drinking techniques, nothing apart from that. What's up with Mahi-Ashima and Shiv-lookalike Vikram? What are you planning to do with Ganga? Marriage #4 with dactar-sa? Is that all Ganga was brought in for?
I could go on and on and on. But, I don't even have the strength to digest the fact that once a classic called Balika Vadhu is now, just another crap-churning serial. Channel and Production house is taking the audience for granted and showing anything on the screen, assuming it will all be accepted and their TRPs will boom up (which in any case has hit rock-bottom).
Please wake up ! Arrogance is the root of self-destruction. Audience are not fools. Please go around and do some survey on how audience feels about your show, even before the story is written. BV is done for most like me. If this story-line continues, the day when you have to close the shop is not far !!
~ A disgusted and frustrated fan of Balika Vadhu
All this while, I have been a very silent member of this forum, with a very high optimism on the replacement and the track. I know I had been a fool. But, I couldn't tolerate anymore seeing "Balika Vadhu" turn a trash and hence decided to vent out my frustration wherever possible and applicable. I'm sure and know that there are many like me here. Even if you feel there's no point/use, please bombard these guys with your frustrations at the maximum - colorstv@viacom18.com.
