Remix- all mixed up!
ANKUSH ARORAEvery evening at eight, all Remix aficionados tune in to Star One to get the latest on the lives of the brats of Maurya High School.
The show depicts the insecurities, dilemmas, rivalries and ambitions (one wonders whether they have any) of the students hailing from different backgrounds, primarily the rich class. Unfortunately, this doesn't go beyond relationships, chasing the opposite sex, petty skirmishes, late night parties, drugs, secret groups, and the most recent - elopement. The show has no storyline, with all characters 'weirdoes', to use their cool-dude language. While the younger generation enjoys the show, parents object to it. But they need to do a rethink because their child could be meeting any number of people following the lifestyle the serial depicts.
According to Mini Raj,a DU student, "The show projects a wrong picture of today's youth. It is for the parents to understand that their child has a brain of his/her own and would not get influenced easily by such shows." The main flaw of Remix is its stereotypical representation of the youth. All characters, though students of eleventh and twelfth standard, are presented as mature and lack the innocence of school-going children. Even the issues they get entangled in are typically those faced by an adult. Thank God they show uniform-clad students - that is the only indication of their being in school!
The makers of Remix have chosen to attract audiences by depicting today's youth as dissipated,mis-guided and over-pampered. It is time they understood that the younger generation can think and act beyond parties and friends.
Remix is a break from the never-ending saas-bahu sagas. However, that does not mean the show has outdone or outshone the latter. It, therefore, should be taken with a pinch of salt, as it has nothing meaty to dish out.
