which new Bollywood movie should i watch ....
Istila, let me say first that you write quite well..👍🏼...and I do agree with your comments...having said that I do think & hope no body is really getting influenced by these dumb serials.

I too, think Istila makes a very good point...but the reality is that TV does in fact influence many for whom these characters seem real or even familiar in parts...some get influenced by the story, some the characters, some the actors...it is an unfortunate reality.
However, there are many who comment without watching and spend time more to chat with their friends, virtual or known...and I guess the serial then becomes the subject around which the chatter takes place.
I too, feel that with the viewership being highest in the 9 -18 category...a lot of the junk shown is not good but members of the IF stopping to watch will not impact the show at all...at least the members say their piece...good or bad...for or against... whether we agree or not with what is shown or not shown...whereas those who cannot differentiate between "entertainment and worthless entertainment" are the ones to worry about.
Well said!See these studies on harmful effects of TV:
In India, a 20-year-old model Poonam Pandey's declaration of stripping if India won the Cricket World Cup had the channels beaming her pictures all over India. The worse the catfights got between Big Boss participants Shweta Tiwari and Dolly Bindra, the more they became the talking point. TV shows like Roadies' TRPs thrive on Raghu Ram hurling expletives at the hopefuls and participants in the show. The behaviour of young girls on shows like Emotional Atyachar and Crunch would leave most parents traumatised.

Well said Istila..😊. We all have been writing about the ill effects of the visual media on the youth and how the thin line between comprehending and differentiating real from unreal is blurring, and the glorification of evil has led kids craving for more because that has a shock value and gives them a false sense of security that doing or supporting wrong things is not so wrong after all and actually it is cool and they do not want to bother about the means as long as it justifies the end. This is what the makers of movies and serials show, in order to get TRPs and while they laugh all the way to the bank, the society suffers the consequences. They also claim that they show only what is happening in the society, in order to justify their glorification of crimes and abnormal behaviour.Here are the excerpts from a recent article in the Times of India by Haimanti Mukherjee, TNN:The heroes of our times have been treading on the grey side for almost two decades since Shah Rukh Khan stammered his way into the audience's hearts with Darr. But it's the women, who are walking the wild side these days and getting maximum attention for it on and off the screen.

Bejoy Nambiar, the director of Shaitan, a film about a group of youngsters with questionable morals and lack of conscience, says, "I wasn't sure whether my film would have been acceptable even while releasing it, but the audiences are demanding experimental films which push the envelope. After all, movies only resonate what's happening in society. Even as Ram Gopal Varma, the director of Not a Love Story, comes under fire over the timing of the film's publicity and offering Susairaj a film role, one cannot disagree that the grey area that audiences once craved for may be getting more sinister by the day.
Hi there😊...what a sad state of affairs...thank goodness I am off again...it has become totally absurd.

True Aditi, we all have lost interest in the show and come to the forum only to interact with friends.
Lord Macaulay's address to the British Parliament in 2 February, 1835.
I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief, such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation.
