again i am 15 pages late.
I don't have a way with words like you or some of the creative ladies in the forum.
having said that,here goes.
creatives take into consideration the mindset of the people in India and how most of the other popular serials are.They observe what works and what doesn't.
it is like monkey see monkey do.
whatsoever new concept that comes up gets shot into the air and does not tick as much,like strong powerful girl,kind mother-in law
boisterous father in law
modern family.
so with all these they have to keep the old mantras for any concepts to work.
the most popular concept ,tried and tested and succeeded one is miserable female lead.
the more the female lead cries the more business for the production house
the more the female lead is tortured,the more the TRP.
the more the female lead is a door mat,the more the serial stays on the channel.
whether we like it or whether anyone likes it ,at the end of the day it is business for the PH and its employees.it is earning a livelihood.
the more the serial stays on the channel ,the more money comes the PHs way.
so they do not want to sabotage their baby(as per GH's attitude).
so it is not that the creatives is missing a woman's touch,creatives do not want to utilize a woman's touch.
Have you seen hunger games,catching fire??it is a book written by a woman and the innovative ways all the people are killed, made me cringe worse than any man's imagination.it was worse than an English woman,the violence is mild compared to Hunger games(written by a man).
The other thing that i found in my expertise of 2 Hindi serials is
they make the hero larger than life and meaner than life.
the meaner the hero,the better.
the more the rejection from the hero the better
and in between he removes his shirt and all is forgiven😆.
but we always have the option of dekhna hai to dekho.(Poor GH!!! he said it by mistake once and it is thrown into his face everyday and will do so for the rest of his life..)
SJ,The power of remote is always in or hands,we can always change the channel and watch another serial 1000 times worse than RR.here at least the heroine is not crying,in another serial,i think the heroine is partially blind due to constant glycerin use.you should see the abuse in that serial and it is the HIGHEST TRP garner...
Hope I made the slightest sense.
