One of my fav Hindi stories is a story called Haar ki Jeet.


The story is of a saint called Baba Bharti, whose only possession was a horse named Sultan that he really loved and cared for. Daku Khadag Singh had been eying that horse but baba Bharti would never let his horse out of his sight, and refused to sell it.

So Khadag Singh, one day disguised himself as a sick and lame person, and requested Baba Bharti to drop him to the nearby village.

And as Baba Bharti was trying to help him, Khadag Singh captured the horse. Baba Bharti was naturally devastated, but asked for only thing in return

He said iss ghatana ka zikr kabhi kiisi se na karna, varna logon ka din dukhiyon se vishvas uth jayega, aur koi unki madad nahi karega!

Of course in the real story, khadag Singh was so touched by Baba Bhartis selflessness, that he returned Sultan.

Why this story here?

Just that, next time Star Plus talks about quality programs, and presenting great literary pieces, I for one, will not really expect much.

I think, the common interest lies in meaningless drama that refuses to rise above nauseating kitchen politics and inane romance, and that is all Indian Tele is capable of delivering.

There is no will to break this mould and rise above the kitsch that is termed daily serial.

And to blame the viewers for this is grossly unfair

There are many like us, who would love to see good quality software, would really really appreciate our rich Indian literature to be brought to fore through this great visual medium

But the makers choose to take the easy way out, and pander to bottom line, instead of taking risks.

And honestly, our great masters are better off untouched by TV producers and channels!


Long post I know, I try to stay upbeat in CB, but haar ki jeet has been haunting me for the last few days, because SC is slowly becoming Jeet ki Haar!



Am too naive to talk about Indian television and it's drivers but your post was great.

I agree the speed and direction in which show is going is way different than what we expected.

But I believe the show will end up on plus side for me Arshi. Because,

I don't see hundreds of episodes of daily drama as the future for this show. That would be too tedious.

The subtlety is missing and there is this hurry in narration. There is also a big deviation from main story. But there have been lot of changes from the beginning.

And if all this is to end the show soon, I am ok with it. At least the misery is not prolonged.

And about today's epi, there were lot of pointers like you said. Foremost was Pramad responding to Kumud.

Saras-kusum angle-we'll wait n watch. Somehow, strongly feel that Kumud has to act as a catalyst for this chemical reaction to happen. She holds the aces.

And other ghantis like kalika,pramaad etc are all converging.

Arshi!!🤗
You nailed it precise. I have been fumbling to define the bait. You describe it precise. Perhaps this format is not for naive like me. Anyway, a possible escape is silver line.😆
@ adiani ji,
i am still hopping to be proven wrong. But subtle hints are aplenty too. Right from the pond shore, " I am forgetting the love." Metamorphosis is 'veneration'. I sincerely hope to be proven wrong and your assesment to come true.

@adiani , i agree with u making pramad positive will be something out of the way , though we csn be counterattacked by theory that then why hope saras kumud together in end

well here i just want to say one thing pramad is a very common character in indian villages , u will find one or two pramad in every house .

example is my kaam wali bai...lol u will say i am comparing kumud with kaam wali bai...but strangely right now kumud story is so very like hers...bubbly is name of my maid servent...her huband is carbon copy of pramad and has kept another woman too...poor thing use to cry a lot and my mom always said ...things will be alright...and u know what ...after one year living with her parents she etuturned back happily to her husband saying ...its life and i cannot be bojh on my parents and i will have to bear with that another woman...but our bubbly does not have any saras to save her

but Kumud has , so why not bring nayi soch and get kumud married to saras , when her husband leaves her ...bubbly husband never turned good...he still had another woaman and asked bubbly to come if she is ready to adjust with that another woman and his drinking habits ...well this is what 99 percent happen in such cases ...no man changes ...it happens only in stories so why not be real and show real and still be with nayi soch ...

...i wish nayi soch in case of samud coz this show has been promoted as samud love story ...so at least samud deserve togetherness after so much ups and downs

I am hoping this will happen... Every love story is interesting only until the "and they lived happily ever after..." bit.

The novel "Saraswatichandra" - I dont think was positioned as a love story by GMT; I havent seen the movie in full - saw only the end where Kumud is doing theatrics "Bhaartiya naari..." "Aisa nahin ho sakta..." etc. when the widow remarriage thing came up... So again looks like more of a social drama rather than a love story.

Here our TV show has been positioned by its creator SLB as "mukammal mohabbat ki adhuri daastan jald hogi poori..." So its logical to expect that S&K will be together at The End...

If they like to keep us on the edge of the seat with all the intervening ups and downs, including the ultimate down of K being married to another man, and S being engaged to K's sister 😕...

Just remember the positioning is different so the end has to be different. 😊

arshi , i did not like saras wearing that thing...it is out of his character ...it seemed he were in some theme party...still saras wearing such clothes in theme party that too without somebody forcing him is so weird

gautam looked good in it but totally out of place ...seemed like some local gujrati star is giving guest apperence at party thrown by BDs and he will suddenly break into some local garbha dandiaya or song ...rolf

where is the dress designer ...kill him !!

"Har ghadi chashme khareedar me rehne ke liye
kuch hunar chahiye bazar me rehne ke liye
!!..."
(Source unknown - heard from Annu Kapoor on Suhaana Safar Big FM)

Maybe if a channel with no commercial motivation had taken this on...
