Given show is off air now and till we get Season 2, we need to bring back old charm and usual discussions we all love on this forum.
So topic for this week is by Jay😎 so has to be dhamake wala😲😆
I am a person who for the most part is oblivious to Indian television. Before Parichay, most of my experience with Indian television comes due to interest of family Little that I have seen growing up my most honest emotion is 
I simply fail to understand how come in the name of "drama" and "entertainment", so many daily soaps go on to serve nothing but pure garbage. We Indians like to talk about greatness of our culture and 5000 years of rich civilization.
But when one turns on the tv, do we see any of it? So called "top" shows are full of kitchen politics where family members are after each other, sacred institution of marriage is mocked every where, devious characters dominate show forever and so called leads lack even ounce of self-respect & spine to stand still. Well in short, less said better it is.
But makers of these shows provide one excuse. This is what garners trps; meaning money. After all it is a business and they will do whatever works to get more and more. When people are ready for something different, they will provide it.🤔
So is it masses who are responsible for such state of Indian television? The majority who is responsible for numbers can only find such "drama" as entertaining, thus almost every show continues to serve just that?
If I am not wrong, "trend" of daily soap was not always so dominating in Indian television. We did have weekly shows such as Hum Log that are classic example of quality television. The so called daily soap queen herself started out with joyful lighthearted comedy Hum Panch. But once makers learned that daily soap will get more revenue, masses were so called "programmed".
Well if masses were programmed back then with the change, why can't they be "reprogrammed" with quality television now? Are people really not ready for something different or is it makers who are unwilling to work and be really creative?😕 What is it about "quality" that majority daily soaps stay far far away from it? I know famous and critically acclaimed might not be same, but who says it has to be that forever?
Parichay by far had the best concept Indian television had seen, but even it made attempt to turn into a typical daily soap🤢 not to mention all the bloopers
So finally, my last point is - are we fans of Parichay that much of minority group seeking quality and real creativity that Indian television is not ready to acknowledge us or come up with something that we too can enjoy?
So floor is open for an in depth discussion, let's get rolling people😃
FYI - while I write this, my mother has tv on and I have to restraint myself greatly from throwing something on the screen 😡
