A vision in Mauve and Red? Seriously? - Page 4

I think the poor male leads share all their clothes with each other, unlike the ladies who have to get clothes stiched to fit them.

I have seen noticed various actors wearing the same color shirt or exact same suit in different serials. Maybe the, PH or the Channel keeps a pool of common clothes, which don't require a particular fit...like shirts, blazers and ties and they keep passing it on to the actors!

Its a small investment to make which makes a big difference to the character and the quality of the show. If you are showing a guy from an army background, you have to show him clothed appropriately and having a certain standard. You can't make Major Rudra Pratap Singh look like Saraswatichandra or Naitik Singhania. He is a different character, he has to be shown dressed accordingly.

Rudra's stylist has bad taste period! First those hideous jackets and now this suit! And why would a bodyguard be in a shiny suit with a red silk shirt? That too in the heat of Rajasthan? Hope the rest of the wardrobe is a bit better...

BTW, I loved him in the colorful 'chest baring' kurtas 😊

Yes, I've noticed that too. Especially in the case of sherwanis. They all seem to be wearing the same one across serials and their respective functions and occasions. Same for the actresses too frankly.

If they need to share, fine. Just chose a more tasteful set of clothes. Like you said, how hard can that be? Just pick up any current men's fashion magazine. Enough ideas and inspiration on display there. They just need to get their head out of whichever weird 60's alternate world they seem to be living in.

In the last serial I watched (IPK), the male lead had three suits, a black, silver and dark brown. While the colours were fine, the material? Oh my God! It was that cheapy shiny stuff. You could literally see the shine of that tacky cloth. And he was supposed to be a millionaire!

If the actors are anyway going to share clothes across serials, then a one-time investment in maybe three or four good quality suits can't be so hard to manage, can it? And with some good Indian brands in the market now, they're not even that expensive anymore.

So basically the problem lies in just simple bad taste.
