Originally posted by: trinitodeboneIndian tv is so illogical and cliched. Always slapping. That looks so strange and disturbing to those of us who grew up in the west and are not Indian You are angry insulted well yell shove etc ( these shows seem to have no problem showing physical violence on both sides without any strong understandable backstory) use her mom as leverage to get back all your family property and money and get an apology and then tell her never show her face again. But no force her to marry you ( how many times has this been down before) . It seems an extreme illogical reaction to being slapped . Supposed everyone went around doing that lol. Inspite of multiple marriages in itv they still pay lip service convenientlyto marriage is sacred can’t divorce when it suits the storyline so Kabir is also harming himself by his revenge saddling himself for life with a woman he “ hates”
But we all know all these shows need to bring the leads together in the context of marriage to show the romance between them . This is what the thirsty audience craves . It is what they look at tv for a hot male lead attractive couple to see their favs or basically the leads romancing onscreen . Romance outside the context of marriage dating gradually getting to know each other is a big no no - immoral will shock and corrupt viewers who some of whom actually take their moral and social cues from badly written fictional tv shows and soaps at that .Also if the leads appear single in real life take feels from every little thing offscreen and in interviews and ship offscreen also . Also butcher the male lead . Have him turn into a monster compared to who he originally was and then redeem him have hate suddenly turn to love because that is the greatest type of love story and all will be well 🙄
Honestly, Indians are no where near to what it's shown on ITV or in movies(in some cases). At least people surrounding me are not like that.
The way things are shown on ITV are just for TRP most of the times.
I think the problem here is that, people need drama. None of the mid aged aunties are interested in watching any sensible heart to heart convos between leads(no offense to anyone). I don't follow anyone on social media so not sure about the fandom.
Rather than going behind TRPs, if people invest time on building the story line and not losing its originality, they'll not lose the true fans of the show who are actually interested in what they offered through promos. Eventually, people start following good work. But it needs time.
Just to gain TRP, most of the shows (especially on SP) are butchering with the main characters. I don't even want to talk about whitewashing. ML accepting his mistakes and apologizing is the rarest thing on ITV.
There's no end to this topic dear. But again, only few channels gives importance to content. Yeh to hona hi tha!
