Oops.. Sorry I mean Kahani Daily Soaps Ki!!! :P
Well only non existent people would not know about them given the importance they get from women over everything else in the world...
What does it take to make the ladies stick to their television sets? I guess i can name some ingredients here...
A Seedhi Saadhi Bahu (Bechaari, the lead)
A Huge Family (that keeps extending)
A Vamp (In the family who knows the weak points of the lead)
A Villian (who obidiently follows the Vamp's footsteps)
Repeat telecasts (of a single scene from different angles)
Defeaning Sounds (thunder and drums when the villian is scheming or is successful in the plan, Aalaps when the poor lead is being humiliated and thrown out)
A Different Look (wierd hairdos, colored lenses, loud make up, funny wardrobe)
A Story (that has very few happy moments and leading to eruption of fountains of glycerin tears at other times with as many illogical twists as possible)
All these, well blended with the ever Traumatic Destiny of the Lead, the Acts of the Bewafa Hubby, Plots of the Vicious Vamp made reality by the Jobless Villian, a few romantic and sad songs to mark the few happy and never ending sad moments and some Dead returned from Yumlok would make it Irresistable for the Indian women to miss.
Caution!
Your tea may be salty if the Vamp is succeedingThe food may be tasteless if the Lead has had an accident
Your wife may become Suspicious of you
Children may learn Sneaking out of homes and partying, some intelligent ones may also learn things like Running away and Cutting their Wrists!!
Your surroundings may be filled with noises repeated a minimum of three to four times differently.
Am I saying that there is nothing sensible on TV? Not really...
I Appreciate the social topics (like farmer suicides, honour killing, child marriage, female foeticide, women empowerment, harassment) being depicted in some of them today. The drawback is that though they start on a good note, they end up being like one of the typical soaps meant just for senseless entertainment.
My advice....
Beware!!!
Cheers!
God Bless!!
