DOTW || How Much and How Far? (Page 3)

I dont think any mature man with brains is seriously going to care that she kissed him. Its acting!

cont-aftrall its a fiction n ppl wtch dis jst to dstrct hm/herself frm dis real world, nywy i also think seasonal cncpt is btr thn these long boring soaps,bt one hs to accpt tat evry indian show strts wid a bang,bt aftr a yr or so d cvs make dm unbearable,bt for we d teenagers nly,if u askd an aged lady she wudnt hv ny complaint against it,its jst we wnt to see sum realistic touch in d shows,

i really hope TBP remain unique as its nw n show us d real teenage life bt tat dsnt meant k dy hv 2 show us kissing scene n all,arrey its nt necessery k evry realtnshp mein u hv to kiss ur partner,;-):-D:-D

okay! wow! this is getting heated :D

alia, even I am a muslim but I dont have problems regarding what is being shown on screen. I am not talking about real life and frankly, ye sab ab real.life mein bhi hota hai. even my upbringing has been done in a pretty strict manner and I am happy with that. but its just you and me. we are talking generally. as being muslims we are not allowed to talk to boys but india, there is no such rule as that. interaction with the opposite sex may not always lead to sexual attraction but mostly, it does. having sex is a basic neccesity for a human being and teenage is something that is considered the most dangerous part of the life because it takes one moment to waver away.

I personally belied that one should have their own set of mind. in western countries, young adults are given sex education classes to make them aware. here it isn't being done so. unaware of the consequences and charged by the hormones a teenager does up ending up having sex without protection and that leads to the problems that you pointing out I.e. teenage pragnancy etc. the fault lies with adults here not the teenagers. if they has taught their children in young age then ye naubat hi nahin satisfied! dont you think in this case shows do end up doing the job of parents?

by showing cases as young people having sex and the bad consequences they face, aren't they just making the youth aware? rather than influencing them? we have to give then some credits.

and I dont believe that any relationship is without physical Intimacy. lets take rahi for example, they are not a couple but look at the way they treat each other. there is constant physical contact. I cannot fathom that after being in a relationship they would stay away from each other. similar case for kisha.

youngsters do go through many changes and the need of intimacy is toughest to face. some satisfy themselves by cheesy lovestories and online po*n while others resort to experiencing it first hand. goodbor bad,it is true.

forbidden or sacred, ut is a growing fact that the youngsters are too much influenced by west. this is a youth show so plot is kinda safe to say that not many housewives must be watching it but look at the other shows. the cvs are dieing to show something mire but they are bounded. how can one bw comfortable in watching almost kisses and extremely close scenes but cringe at the sight of liplock? I dont get it...scarlet is right, doesn't this arise some curiousity t ke what happens next?

imo, if.one wants to see some realistic romance then one has to be open to kissing and sex. I have never said that sex should be open like in the western shows but implying it ia not completely wrong. kissing is another thing as it can be aesthetically shot.

lolz, I kinda dont buy that.in every relationship, specially between youngsters, a kiss plays a really important part.you talk about a couple of a long time and the question that is most frequently asked, "how was your first kiss? " these movies, books, shows ne hamara dimag aisa kharab kiya hai ke first kiss has become as important for a person as having a good academic record.

of course your opinion counts! :D

I really dont get the difference between modernize and westernize. aren't they the same? and if slow incorporating of western norms is done, how slow should it be?

I dont think that indian tv can ever be like the western one but it could be possible that they portray it with some desi tarka. intimacy in any couple is as normal as breathing. there is a reason people want to watch the couple romancing because they know it happens in real life. the elder tv audeince is happy with the almost kisses etc because they provide them the necessary entertainment while.not particularly harming their moral grounds. but the youth has moved on. their exposure to world is just too.big! and this has brought impatience and restlessness to their nature. they dont have time to watch long eyelocks, life is too fast for that. and since tbp is a youth show, I am guessing the target audience is like that.

honestly, very few shows from across the border are 100 percent well written. many are copying the indian soaps and other make you wanna roll your eyes . very few make an impact. and you can be sure of this because I do live across the border from india :p

the week is almost over :p when will you come anyway?!

thank you!

I saw that scene and honestly, there was nothing vulgar about it. I personally thought it was shot nicely. and the kiss wasn't embarrassing either. it was just a one second thingy. its like I said above, the elder audeince is happy watching the endless eyelocks and trip catches scenes because they provide them safe intimacy and entertainment despite being unrealistic.but once reality kicks in I.e kissing or sex, they earth starts to.shatter because it is against their morals. they are living in a bubble world that if they protest against the showing of such scenes on tv, the young ones wont be influenced. hark! nonsense.

I do want the cvs to go ahead as well but that would.mean a change from the usual norms and change is not.accepted easily. it takes time but the authorities aren't ready to risk it. the audience is dieing for change but no one is providing it because hey, it wont garner more trps on less time the way the ghisa pitta tracks do. unless that thinking changes and risk is taken, we will not get a trend setting youth show like remix or hip hop hurray.

i didnt watch mjht regularly but yeah it did have some intimate scenes. they were a bit awkward for me because of their over dramatization. hayyee...cant we get some simple realistic intimate romance...ever? :(
