Hey Ram!
The chanting of shlokas and assorted religious ditties seems to be reaching a peak on our soaps.
In the space of a half hour this week, I was subjected to a menagerie of religious invocations, mostly the 'Jai Ram, Sita Ram' variety, across three of the better watched channels. On Sahara One's Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki, the travails of Parias she battles her marital woes were supplemented with some heavy duty chanting in the background.

Across at Zee, a recap of the weekly Ravan, not surprisingly, had similar chanting going on, just as Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, running at the same time, had one of the innumerable Sanskrit shlokas they keep ready for emotionally charged scenes. Does this reflect some kind of social trend? Or is TV setting one? Do viewers belonging to all communities lovingly lap up these background scores (otherwise unconnected to the plot), or does the targeted viewership of these shows exclude other communities?

If some soaps rely on religious undertones, the others make do with Hindi film songs. For several episodes, Sony's Aisa Des Hai Mera used tracks from Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna to bring about the romance between the lead Rusty and Gaurav Chopra. Two weeks ago, Rakshanda Khan wooed her tele-hubby with a full rendition of the yesteryear song 'Bahon Mein Chale Aao' in Sahara's Kuch Apne Kuch Paraye, and Sinddoor's hero last week sat through a Bollywood item number enacted by a bar dancer, before he turned knight in shining armour and saved her from some goons.
This week, Sony's Kaajjal relied on the 1942-A Love Story track, Pyar Hua Chupke Se, to spark off the romance between the lead pair. Is television relying heavily on Bollywood songs, because original tracks, tried on some Sahara soaps, did not work? Or are Bollywood songs a sureshot way of getting viewer attention?
