why even tumhari disha was pretty good, astitva for that matter...all zee tv serials usually have the decency of ending when the saturation point is reached by the audience and actors alike.i do not want SP to end but i want Neel to undo his bad deeds and devika to disappear soon.

I am also getting pretty sick of watching and trying to figure out what will happen next. I have stopped watching Canadian episode coz they are one month old and thanks to IF developers to provide video links for these soaps, I am able to go to bed early at night.


Yes it would be nice to know how far they are planning to drag the show. If they put a timeline to a series they may attract more audience and will have a better storyline, instead of bullsi@#$* once they run out of ideas.
cheers

yes.....i too definitely agree with u.....unnecessary they keep on dragging these serials..with all dead or out of the scene characters coming back again and again.
And the story keeps dragging....getting away from the main themme every time. 😭

what you say is right to some extent....soaps like Bold and the Beautiful has been on air since 18 years if i am not mistaken..there r people who follow it.it's larger than life now.....but serials from the Indian point of view should not be so bizzare that it makes the viewer feel stupid that whatever crap is shown ,we have to accept.....it should go on for a year or two if it starts getting meaningless and beyond repair.




You are saying indian serials should not be bizarre and make the viewer feel stupid, but that is what i had said. if the indian soaps go in the right direction in the first place then it would never have this problem. saat phere can still be ok if the neel problem is solved and a drastic shift in plot occurs or just new creative ideas for the next conflict, this way the show won't become "meaningless beyond repair" and that is what i previously stated in my last post if you read carefully and closely.

I agree with you. They keep adding new characters to the show just to prolong it and after sometime the plot becomes so far fetched that it does not connect with reality anymore and that is when it becomes a bore and loses its ratings.

I think serails should have a definite time limit given well in advance so that the producers know how long to drag/pace each angle in the story. Also I feel that serials can be made keeping relations pure, like the relation betweeen SAloni and Nahar. That is the essence of the serial! If they show them again going their separate ways and each marrying some one it is dismaying and disgusting 🤢 to say the least.
